The Tilera architecture traditionally supports 64KB page sizes
to improve TLB utilization and improve performance when the
hardware is being used primarily to run a single application.
For more generic server scenarios, it can be beneficial to run
with 4KB page sizes, so this commit allows that to be specified
(by modifying the arch/tile/include/hv/pagesize.h header).
As part of this change, we also re-worked the PTE management
slightly so that PTE writes all go through a __set_pte() function
where we can do some additional validation. The set_pte_order()
function was eliminated since the "order" argument wasn't being used.
One bug uncovered was in the PCI DMA code, which wasn't properly
flushing the specified range. This was benign with 64KB pages,
but with 4KB pages we were getting some larger flushes wrong.
The per-cpu memory reservation code also needed updating to
conform with the newer percpu stuff; before it always chose 64KB,
and that was always correct, but with 4KB granularity we now have
to pay closer attention and reserve the amount of memory that will
be requested when the percpu code starts allocating.

The problem was that this could lead to IPIs being disabled during
the softirq processing after a hypervisor downcall (e.g. for I/O),
since both IPI and device interrupts use the INCTRL_1 downcall mechanism.
When this happened at the wrong time, it could lead to deadlock.
Luckily, we were already maintaining the per-interrupt state we need,
and using it in the proper way in the hypervisor, so all we had to do
was to change Linux to stop blocking downcall interrupts for the entire
length of the downcall. (Now they're blocked while we're executing the
downcall routine itself, but not while we're executing any subsequent
softirq routines.) The hypervisor is doing a very small amount of
work it no longer needs to do (masking INTCTRL_1 on entry to the client
interrupt routine), but doing so means that older versions of Tile Linux
will continue to work with a current hypervisor, so that seems reasonable.

The current implementations of __ndelay and __udelay call a hypervisor
service to delay, but the hypervisor service isn't actually implemented
very well, and the consensus is that Linux should handle figuring this
out natively and not use a hypervisor service.
By converting nanoseconds to cycles, and then spinning until the
cycle counter reaches the desired cycle, we get several benefits:
first, we are sensitive to the actual clock speed; second, we use
less power by issuing a slow SPR read once every six cycles while
we delay; and third, we properly handle the case of an interrupt by
exiting at the target time rather than after some number of cycles.

To handle single-step, tile mmap's a page of memory in the process
space for each thread and uses it to construct a version of the
instruction that we want to single step. If the process exec's,
though, we lose that mapping, and the kernel needs to be aware that
it will need to recreate it if the exec'ed process than tries to
single-step as well.
Also correct some int32_t to s32 for better kernel style.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

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.

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.

but to make the code conform to Linux coding standards with all

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

smc91x: Add missing #inclusion of <linux/irq.h>
Drop a couple of unnecessary asm/system.h inclusions
SH: Add missing consts to sys_execve() declaration
Blackfin: Rename IRQ flags handling functions
Blackfin: Add missing dep to asm/irqflags.h
Blackfin: Rename DES PC2() symbol to avoid collision
Blackfin: Split the BF532 BFIN_*_FIO_FLAG() functions to their own header
Blackfin: Split PLL code from mach-specific cdef headers
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.

Our internal process shares memcpy, memset, etc., with libc, and
we did some minor tweaking as part of moving from uclibc to glibc,
which is now reflected in the kernel versions of these files.
There are no semantic changes in this commit, just whitespace
(memcpy_32.S now properly uses tabs), naming (memmove.c instead
of memmove_32.c, since TILE-Gx shares the file with TILEPro),
and a couple of other minor tweaks.

This is not quite the complete support, since we're not yet shipping
intvec_64.S, but it is the support relevant to the set of files we are
currently shipping, and makes it easier to track changes between
our internal sources and our public GIT repository.

While not a port to KVM (yet), this change modifies the kernel
to be able to build either at PL1 or at PL2 with a suitable

This change adds one of the Tilera standard <arch> headers to the set
of headers shipped with Linux. The <arch/sim.h> header provides
methods for programmatically interacting with the Tilera simulator.
The current <arch/sim.h> provides inline assembly for the _sim_syscall
function, so the declaration and definition previously provided
manually in Linux are no longer needed. We now use the standard
sim_validate_lines_evicted() method from <arch/sim.h> rather than
rolling our own direct call to sim_syscall().

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.

Previously we were using -1023, which is fine for normal syscall

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.

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.

asm-generic/bitops/find.h has the extern declarations of find_next_bit()
and find_next_zero_bit() and the macro definitions of find_first_bit()
and find_first_zero_bit(). It is only usable by the architectures which
enables CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT and disables
CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT.
x86 and tile enable both CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT and
CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT. These architectures cannot include
asm-generic/bitops/find.h in their asm/bitops.h. So ifdefed extern
declarations of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit() are put in
linux/bitops.h.
This makes asm-generic/bitops/find.h usable by these architectures
and use it. Also this change is needed for the forthcoming duplicated
extern declarations cleanup.

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:
local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...
and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...
This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.
Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()
Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()
with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()
with tracing included if enabled.
The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

This "bpt_code" instruction was killed off in our development line a while
ago (the actual definition of bpt_code that is used is in kernel/traps.c)
but I didn't push it for 2.6.36 because it seemed harmless and I didn't
want to try to push more than absolutely necessary.
However, we recently fixed a bug in our gcc that had been causing
"-gdwarf2" not to be passed to the assembler, and passing this flag causes
an erroneous assembler failure in the presence of code in a data section,
sometimes. While we'd like to track down the bug in the assembler,

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.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.
This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.
This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

Until now, the tile architecture ABI for syscall return has just been
that r0 holds the return value, and an error is only signalled like it is
for kernel code, with a negative small number.
However, this means that in multiple places in userspace we end up writing
the same three-cycle idiom that tests for a small negative number for
error. It seems cleaner to instead move that code into the kernel, and
set r1 to hold zero on success or errno on failure; previously, r1 was
just zeroed on return from the kernel (to avoid leaking kernel state).
This way a single conditional branch after the syscall is sufficient
to test for the failure case. The number of cycles taken is the same,
but the error-checking code is in just one place, so total code size is
smaller, and random userspace syscall code is easier to understand.
