tile: remove stray blank space

2013-09-16T19:47:32+00:00

The compat sys_llseek() definition addition added a bogus space
on an otherwise-blank line.

tile: remove stale arch/tile/kernel/futex_64.S

2013-09-13T15:15:24+00:00

This should have been removed with commit 47d632f9f8f3, but
it was overlooked.

tile: remove HUGE_VMAP dead code

2013-09-13T15:15:24+00:00

A config option to allow a variant vmap() using huge pages that was never
upstreamed had some bits of code related to it scattered around the tile
architecture; the config option was removed downstream and this commit
cleans up the scattered evidence of it from the upstream as well.

Pull Tile arch updates from Chris Metcalf:
 "These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been
  maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray
  bits of work that I've taken into the tile tree from other folks.

  The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven
  console support, support for performing fast-path unaligned data
  fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support,
  vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx
  on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support
  for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes.

  We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer
  buildable"

tile PCI RC: make default consistent DMA mask 32-bit

2013-09-03T18:53:37+00:00

This change sets the PCI devices' initial DMA capabilities
conservatively and promotes them at the request of the driver,
as opposed to assuming advanced DMA capabilities. The old design
runs the risk of breaking drivers that assume default capabilities.

tile: add null check for kzalloc in tile/kernel/setup.c

2013-09-03T18:53:34+00:00

Should check the return value of kzalloc first to avoid the null pointer.
Then can dereference the non-null pointer to access the fields of struct
resource.

tile: make __write_once a synonym for __read_mostly

2013-09-03T18:53:32+00:00

This was really only useful for TILE64 when we mapped the
kernel data with small pages. Now we use a huge page and we
really don't want to map different parts of the kernel
data in different ways.

We retain the __write_once name in case we want to bring
it back to life at some point in the future.

Note that this change uncovered a latent bug where the
"smp_topology" variable happened to always be aligned mod 8
so we could store two "int" values at once, but when we
eliminated __write_once it ended up only aligned mod 4.
Fix with an explicit annotation.

tile: remove support for TILE64

2013-09-03T18:53:29+00:00

This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded
by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and
toolchain in the community do not support it.  It's unlikely that the
kernel works with TILE64 at this point as the configuration has not been
tested in years.  The support is also awkward as it requires maintaining
a significant number of ifdefs.  So, just remove it altogether.

tile: use standard tile_bundle_bits type in traps.c

2013-09-03T18:53:22+00:00

We were rolling our own bundle_bits, which is unnecessary.
