2010-12-17arch/tile: handle rt_sigreturn() more cleanlyChris Metcalf
The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-12-17arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user spaceChris Metcalf
Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>

2010-11-24arch/tile: fix memchr() not to dereference memory for zero lengthChris Metcalf
This change fixes a bug that memchr() will read the first word of the source even if the length is zero. Ironically, the code was originally written with a test to avoid exactly this problem, but to make the code conform to Linux coding standards with all declarations preceding all statements, the first load from memory was moved up above that test as the initial value for a variable. The change just moves all the variable declarations to the top of the file, with no initializers, so that the test can also be at the top of the file.

2010-11-24arch/tile: make glibc's sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) work correctlyChris Metcalf
glibc assumes that it can count /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* to get the number of configured cpus. For this to be valid on tile, we need to generate a "cpu" entry for all cpus, including the ones that are not currently allocated for Linux's use. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

2010-11-24pci root complex: support for tile architectureChris Metcalf
This change enables PCI root complex support for TILEPro. Unlike TILE-Gx, TILEPro has no support for memory-mapped I/O, so the PCI support consists of hypervisor upcalls for PIO, DMA, etc. However, the performance is fine for the devices we have tested with so far (1Gb Ethernet, SATA, etc.). The <asm/io.h> header was tweaked to be a little bit more aggressive about disabling attempts to map/unmap IO port space. The hacky <asm/pci-bridge.h> header was rolled into the <asm/pci.h> header and the result was simplified. Both of the latter two headers were preliminary versions not meant for release before now - oh well. There is one quirk for our TILEmpower platform, which accidentally negotiates up to 5GT and needs to be kicked down to 2.5GT. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-11-24drivers/net/tile/: on-chip network drivers for the tile architectureChris Metcalf
This change adds the first network driver for the tile architecture, supporting the on-chip XGBE and GBE shims. The infrastructure is present for the TILE-Gx networking drivers (another three source files in the new directory) but for now the the actual tilegx sources are waiting on releasing hardware to initial customers. Note that arch/tile/include/hv/* are "upstream" headers from the Tilera hypervisor and will probably benefit less from LKML review. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

2010-11-15arch/tile: fix rwlock so would-be write lockers don't block new readersChris Metcalf
This avoids a deadlock in the IGMP code where one core gets a read lock, another core starts trying to get a write lock (thus blocking new readers), and then the first core tries to recursively re-acquire the read lock. We still try to preserve some degree of balance by giving priority to additional write lockers that come along while the lock is held for write, so they can all complete quickly and return the lock to the readers.

2010-11-01arch/tile: mark "hardwall" device as non-seekableChris Metcalf
Arnd's recent patch series tagged this device with noop_llseek, conservatively. In fact, it should be no_llseek, which we arrange for by opening the device with nonseekable_open(). Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-11-01asm-generic/stat.h: support 64-bit file time_t for stat()Chris Metcalf
The existing asm-generic/stat.h specifies st_mtime, etc., as a 32-value, and works well for 32-bit architectures (currently microblaze, score, and 32-bit tile). However, for 64-bit architectures it isn't sufficient to return 32 bits of time_t; this isn't good insurance against the 2037 rollover. (It also makes glibc support less convenient, since we can't use glibc's handy STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT mode.) This change extends the two "timespec" fields for each of the three atime, mtime, and ctime fields from "int" to "long". As a result, on 32-bit platforms nothing changes, and 64-bit platforms will now work as expected. The only wrinkle is 32-bit userspace under 64-bit kernels taking advantage of COMPAT mode. For these, we leave the "struct stat64" definitions with the "int" versions of the time_t and nsec fields, so that architectures can implement compat_sys_stat64() and friends with sys_stat64(), etc., and get the expected 32-bit structure layout. This requires a field-by-field copy in the kernel, implemented by the code guarded under __ARCH_WANT_STAT64. This does mean that the shape of the "struct stat" and "struct stat64" structures is different on a 64-bit kernel, but only one of the two structures should ever be used by any given process: "struct stat" is meant for 64-bit userspace only, and "struct stat64" for 32-bit userspace only. (On a 32-bit kernel the two structures continue to have the same shape, since "long" is 32 bits.) The alternative is keeping the two structures the same shape on 64-bit kernels, which means a 64-bit time_t in "struct stat64" for 32-bit processes. This is a little unnatural since 32-bit userspace can't do anything with 64 bits of time_t information, since time_t is just "long", not "int64_t"; and in any case 32-bit userspace might expect to be running under a 32-bit kernel, which can't provide the high 32 bits anyway. In the case of a 32-bit kernel we'd then be extending the kernel's 32-bit time_t to 64 bits, then truncating it back to 32 bits again in userspace, for no particular reason. And, as mentioned above, if we have 64-bit time_t for 32-bit processes we can't easily use glibc's STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT, since glibc's stat structure requires an embedded "struct timespec", which is a pair of "long" (32-bit) values in a 32-bit userspace. "Inventive" solutions are possible, but are pretty hacky. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2010-11-01arch/tile: don't allow user code to set the PL via ptrace or signal returnChris Metcalf
The kernel was allowing any component of the pt_regs to be updated either by signal handlers writing to the stack, or by processes writing via PTRACE_POKEUSR or PTRACE_SETREGS, which meant they could set their PL up from 0 to 1 and get access to kernel code and data (or, in practice, cause a kernel panic). We now always reset the ex1 field, allowing the user to set their ICS bit only. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-11-01arch/tile: correct double syscall restart for nested signalsChris Metcalf
This change is modelled on similar fixes for other architectures. The pt_regs "faultnum" member is set to the trap (fault) number that caused us to enter the kernel, and is INT_SWINT_1 for the syscall software interrupt. We already supported a pseudo value, INT_SWINT_1_SIGRETURN, that we used for the rt_sigreturn syscall; it avoided the case where one signal was handled, then we "tail-called" to another handler. This change avoids the similar case where we start to call one handler, then are preempted into another handler when we start trying to run the first handler. We clear ->faultnum after calling handle_signal(), and to be paranoid also in the case where there was no signal to deliver. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-11-01arch/tile: avoid __must_check warning on one strict_strtol checkChris Metcalf

This change makes KM_TYPE_NR independent of the actual deprecated list of km_type values, which are no longer used in tile code anywhere.

2010-10-27mm: fix race in kunmap_atomic()Peter Zijlstra
Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack based kmap_atomic implementation. The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM). If an interrupt happens before we actually clear the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic(). Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay the _pop() until after we're completely done.

2010-10-26mm: stack based kmap_atomic()Peter Zijlstra
Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based approach. The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like: #define __KM_PTE \ (in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \ in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \ KM_PTE0) and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap slots might be appropriate for that. The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive. For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew: #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page) to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

2010-10-15arch/tile: make ptrace() work properly for TILE-Gx COMPAT modeChris Metcalf
Previously, we tried to pass 64-bit arguments through the "COMPAT" mode 32-bit syscall API, which turned out not to work well. Now we just use straight 32-bit arguments in COMPAT mode, thus requiring individual registers to be read/written with two syscalls. Of course this is uncommon, since usually all the registers are read or written at once. The restructuring applies to all the tile platforms, but is plausibly better than the original code in any case. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

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.

2010-10-14arch/tile: change lower bound on syscall error return to -4095Chris Metcalf
Previously we were using -1023, which is fine for normal syscall error returns, but the common value in use for other platforms is -4095, and one Tilera-specific driver does use values in the -1100 range, so tickled this bug. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

2010-10-14arch/tile: provide a definition of MAP_STACKChris Metcalf
It's convenient for userspace (in particular, glibc) to find a definition of MAP_STACK. We use MAP_GROWSDOWN as an alias since that's appropriate for the main stack, and since our current allocation of mmap flags bits is running a bit short otherwise.

2010-10-14arch/tile: Use <asm-generic/syscalls.h>Chris Metcalf
With this change we now include <asm-generic/syscalls.h> into the "tile" version of the header. To take full advantage of the prototypes there, we also change our naming convention for "struct pt_regs *" syscalls so that, e.g., _sys_execve() is the "true" syscall entry, which sets the appropriate register to point to the pt_regs before calling sys_execve(). While doing this I realized I no longer needed the fork and vfork entry point stubs, since those functions aren't in the generic syscall ABI, so I removed them as well.
