arch/tile: more /proc and /sys file support This change introduces a few of the less controversial /proc and /proc/sys interfaces for tile, along with sysfs attributes for various things that were originally proposed as /proc/tile files. It also adjusts the "hardwall" proc API. Arnd Bergmann reviewed the initial arch/tile submission, which included a complete set of all the /proc/tile and /proc/sys/tile knobs that we had added in a somewhat ad hoc way during initial development, and provided feedback on where most of them should go. One knob turned out to be similar enough to the existing /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace that it was re-implemented to use that model instead. Another knob was /proc/tile/grid, which reported the "grid" dimensions of a tile chip (e.g. 8x8 processors = 64-core chip). Arnd suggested looking at sysfs for that, so this change moves that information to a pair of sysfs attributes (chip_width and chip_height) in the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory. We also put the "chip_serial" and "chip_revision" information from our old /proc/tile/board file as attributes in /sys/devices/system/cpu. Other information collected via hypervisor APIs is now placed in /sys/hypervisor. We create a /sys/hypervisor/type file (holding the constant string "tilera") to be parallel with the Xen use of /sys/hypervisor/type holding "xen". We create three top-level files, "version" (the hypervisor's own version), "config_version" (the version of the configuration file), and "hvconfig" (the contents of the configuration file). The remaining information from our old /proc/tile/board and /proc/tile/switch files becomes an attribute group appearing under /sys/hypervisor/board/. Finally, after some feedback from Arnd Bergmann for the previous version of this patch, the /proc/tile/hardwall file is split up into two conceptual parts. First, a directory /proc/tile/hardwall/ which contains one file per active hardwall, each file named after the hardwall's ID and holding a cpulist that says which cpus are enclosed by the hardwall. Second, a /proc/PID file "hardwall" that is either empty (for non-hardwall-using processes) or contains the hardwall ID. Finally, this change pushes the /proc/sys/tile/unaligned_fixup/ directory, with knobs controlling the kernel code for handling the fixup of unaligned exceptions.

Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

EDAC: Cleanup atomic_scrub mess So first of all, this atomic_scrub() function's naming is bad. It looks like an atomic_t helper. Change it to edac_atomic_scrub(). The bigger problem is that this function is arch-specific and every new arch which doesn't necessarily need that functionality still needs to define it, otherwise EDAC doesn't compile. So instead of doing that and including arch-specific headers, have each arch define an EDAC_ATOMIC_SCRUB symbol which can be used in edac_mc.c for ifdeffery. Much cleaner. And we already are doing this with another symbol - EDAC_SUPPORT. This is also much cleaner than having CONFIG_EDAC enumerate all the arches which need/have EDAC support and drivers. This way I can kill the useless edac.h header in tile too.

arch/tile: Add driver to enable access to the user dynamic network. This network (the "UDN") connects all the cpus on the chip in a wormhole-routed dynamic network. Subrectangles of the chip can be allocated by a "create" ioctl on /dev/hardwall, and then to access the UDN in that rectangle, tasks must perform an "activate" ioctl on that same file object after affinitizing themselves to a single cpu in the region. Sending a wormhole-routed message that tries to leave that subrectangle causes all activated tasks to receive a SIGILL (just as they would if they tried to access the UDN without first activating themselves to a hardwall rectangle). The original submission of this code to LKML had the driver instantiated under /proc/tile/hardwall. Now we just use a character device for this, conventionally /dev/hardwall. Some futures planning for the TILE-Gx chip suggests that we may want to have other types of devices that share the general model of "bind a task to a cpu, then 'activate' a file descriptor on a pseudo-device that gives access to some hardware resource". As such, we are using a device rather than, for example, a syscall, to set up and activate this code. As part of this change, the compat_ptr() declaration was fixed and used to pass the compat_ioctl argument to the normal ioctl. So far we limit compat code to 2GB, so the difference between zero-extend and sign-extend (the latter being correct, eventually) had been overlooked.

arch/tile: introduce GXIO IORPC framework for tilegx The GXIO I/O RPC subsystem handles exporting I/O hardware resources to Linux and to applications running under Linux. For instance, memory which is made available for I/O DMA must be mapped by an I/O TLB; that means that such memory must be locked down by Linux, so that it is not swapped or otherwise reused, as long as those I/O TLB entries are active. Similarly, configuring direct hardware access introduces new validation requirements. If a user application registers memory, Linux must ensure that the supplied virtual addresses are valid, and turn them into client physical addresses. Similarly, when Linux then supplies those client physical addresses to the Tilera hypervisor, it must in turn validate those before turning them into the real physical addresses which are required by the hardware. To the extent that these sorts of activities were required on previous TILE architecture processors, they were implemented in a device-specific fashion. This meant that every I/O device had its own Tilera hypervisor driver, its own Linux driver, and in some cases its own user-level library support. There was a large amount of more-or-less functionally identical code in different places, particularly in the different Linux drivers. For TILE-Gx, this support has been generalized into a common framework, known as the I/O RPC framework or just IORPC. The two "gxio" directories (one for headers, one for sources) start with just a few files in each with this infrastructure commit, but after adding support for the on-board I/O shims for networking, PCI, USB, crypto, compression, I2CS, etc., there end up being about 20 files in each directory. More information on the IORPC framework is in the <hv/iorpc.h> header, included in this commit. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
