arch: remove tile port

2018-03-16T09:56:03Z

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer uses the Tile architecture. There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future. Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

tile: don't assume user privilege is zero

2013-09-03T18:45:52Z

Technically, user privilege is anything less than kernel privilege. We modify the existing user_mode() macro to have this semantic (and use it in a couple of places it wasn't being used before), and add an IS_KERNEL_EX1() macro to the assembly code as well. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: fast-path unaligned memory access for tilegx

2013-08-13T20:04:10Z

This change enables unaligned userspace memory access via a kernel fast path on tilegx. The kernel tracks user PC/instruction pairs per-thread using a direct-mapped cache in userspace. The cache maps those PC/instruction pairs to JIT'ed instruction sequences that load or store using byte-wide load store intructions and then synthesize 2-, 4- or 8-byte load or store results. Once an instruction has been seen to generate an unaligned access once, subsequent hits on that instruction typically require overhead of only around 50 cycles if cache and TLB is hot. We support the prctl() PR_GET_UNALIGN / PR_SET_UNALIGN sys call to enable or disable unaligned fixups on a per-process basis. To do this we pull some of the tilepro unaligned support out of the single_step.c file; tilepro uses instruction disassembly for both single-step and unaligned access support. Since tilegx actually has hardware singlestep support, though, it's cleaner to keep the tilegx unaligned access code in a separate file. While we're at it, properly rename the tilepro-specific types, etc., to have tilepro suffixes instead of generic tile suffixes. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: Call tracehook_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in syscall trace

2013-03-21T19:39:34Z

Call tracehook functions for syscall tracing. The check for TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE was removed, because the same check is done right before in the assembly file. Signed-off-by: Simon Marchi Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf [with ptrace.h fixup]

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro: "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um, COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure. Note that there are several conflicts between "unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline; resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

arch/tile: clean up tile-specific PTRACE_SETOPTIONS

2012-12-14T17:56:54Z

Use the newer idioms for setting PTRACE_O_xxx and PT_TRACE_xxx flags. Only set/clear tile-specific flags if the generic routine returns success, since otherwise we want to avoid setting any flags at all. Atomically update the ptrace flags with the new values. Eliminate the PT_TRACE_MASK_TILE bitmask and just shift PTRACE_O_MASK_TILE. Add a BUILD_BUG_ON to avoid overlapping with generic bits. Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf
