2011-05-02arch/tile: refactor backtracing codeChris Metcalf
This change is the result of some work to make the backtrace code more shareable between kernel, libc, and gdb. For the kernel, some good effects are to eliminate the hacky "VirtualAddress" typedef in favor of "unsigned long", to eliminate a bunch of spurious kernel doc comments, to remove the dead "bt_read_memory" function, and to use "__tilegx__" in #ifdefs instead of "TILE_CHIP".

2011-03-01arch/tile: fix two bugs in the backtracer codeChris Metcalf
The first is that we were using an incorrect hand-rolled variant of __kernel_text_address() which didn't handle module PCs. We now just use the standard API. The second was that we weren't accounting for the three-level page table when we were trying to pre-verify the addresses on the 64-bit TILE-Gx processor; we now do that correctly.

2010-10-14arch/tile: prevent corrupt top frame from causing backtracer runawayChris Metcalf
The backtracer will normally cut itself off after 100 frames anyway, but it's messy. With this change we notice that the frame being reported is the same as the last one, and cut off the dump with a message similar to what gdb displays in the same circumstance.

2010-09-15arch/tile: Change struct sigcontext to be more usefulChris Metcalf
Rather than just using pt_regs, it now contains the actual saved state explicitly, similar to pt_regs. By doing it this way, we provide a cleaner API for userspace (or equivalently, we avoid the need for libc to provide its own definition of sigcontext). While we're at it, move PT_FLAGS_xxx to where they are not visible from userspace. And always pass siginfo and mcontext to signal handlers, even if they claim they don't need it, since sometimes they actually try to use it anyway in practice.

2010-08-13arch/tile: support backtracing on TILE-GxChris Metcalf
This functionality was stubbed out until recently. Now we support our normal backtracing API on TILE-Gx as well as on TILE64/TILEPro. This change includes a tweak to the instruction encoding caused by adding addxli for compat mode. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-07-06arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.Chris Metcalf
This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse" and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the codebase tend to get tedious to read. Rather than trying to tease apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code: - sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals. - sparse: Fix __user annotations. - sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int. - sparse: removing functions not actually used. - checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.; also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code. - checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs. - checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments. In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in to this commit: - Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised. - Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI. - Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.

2010-06-04arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.Chris Metcalf
This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips. No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet. This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic; and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
