Pull Tile arch updates from Chris Metcalf:
"These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been
maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray
bits of work that I've taken into the tile tree from other folks.
The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven
console support, support for performing fast-path unaligned data
fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support,
vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx
on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support
for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes.
We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer
buildable"

The macrology in cmpxchg.h was designed to allow arbitrary pointer
and integer values to be passed through the routines. To support
cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on the 32-bit tilepro architecture, we
used the idiom "(typeof(val))(typeof(val-val))". This way, in the
"size 8" branch of the switch, when the underlying cmpxchg routine
returns a 64-bit quantity, we cast it first to a typeof(val-val)
quantity (i.e. size_t if "val" is a pointer) with no warnings about
casting between pointers and integers of different sizes, then cast
onwards to typeof(val), again with no warnings. If val is not a
pointer type, the additional cast is a no-op. We can't replace the
typeof(val-val) cast with (for example) unsigned long, since then if
"val" is really a 64-bit type, we cast away the high bits.
HOWEVER, this fails with current gcc (through 4.7 at least) if "val"
is a pointer to an incomplete type. Unfortunately gcc isn't smart
enough to realize that "val - val" will always be a size_t type
even if it's an incomplete type pointer.
Accordingly, I've reworked the way we handle the casting. We have
given up the ability to use cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on tilepro,
which is OK in the kernel since we should use cmpxchg64() explicitly
on such values anyway. As a result, I can just use simple "unsigned
long" casts internally.
As I reworked it, I realized it would be cleaner to move the
architecture-specific conditionals for cmpxchg and xchg out of the
atomic.h headers and into cmpxchg, and then use the cmpxchg() and
xchg() primitives directly in atomic.h and elsewhere. This allowed
the cmpxchg.h header to stand on its own without relying on the
implicit include of it that is performed by <asm/atomic.h>.
It also allowed collapsing the atomic_xchg/atomic_cmpxchg routines
from atomic_{32,64}.h into atomic.h.
I improved the tests that guard the allowed size of the arguments
to the routines to use a __compiletime_error() test. (By avoiding
the use of BUILD_BUG, I could include cmpxchg.h into bitops.h as
well and use the macros there, which is otherwise impossible due
to include order dependency issues.)
The tilepro _atomic_xxx internal methods were previously set up to
take atomic_t and atomic64_t arguments, which isn't as convenient
with the new model, so I modified them to take int or u64 arguments,
which is consistent with how they used the arguments internally
anyway, so provided some nice simplification there too.

This change sets the PCI devices' initial DMA capabilities
conservatively and promotes them at the request of the driver,
as opposed to assuming advanced DMA capabilities. The old design
runs the risk of breaking drivers that assume default capabilities.

This was really only useful for TILE64 when we mapped the
kernel data with small pages. Now we use a huge page and we
really don't want to map different parts of the kernel
data in different ways.
We retain the __write_once name in case we want to bring
it back to life at some point in the future.
Note that this change uncovered a latent bug where the
"smp_topology" variable happened to always be aligned mod 8
so we could store two "int" values at once, but when we
eliminated __write_once it ended up only aligned mod 4.
Fix with an explicit annotation.

This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded
by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and
toolchain in the community do not support it. It's unlikely that the
kernel works with TILE64 at this point as the configuration has not been
tested in years. The support is also awkward as it requires maintaining
a significant number of ifdefs. So, just remove it altogether.

We use virt_to_pte(NULL, va) a lot, which isn't very obvious.
I added virt_to_kpte(va) as a more obvious wrapper function,
that also validates the va as being a kernel adddress.
And, I fixed the semantics of virt_to_pte() so that we handle
the pud and pmd the same way, and we now document the fact that
we handle the final pte level differently.

The TILE-Gx chip includes an on-chip UART. This change adds support

The existing code relied on the hardware definition (<arch/chip.h>)
to specify how much VA and PA space was available. It's convenient
to allow customizing this for some configurations, so provide symbols
MAX_PA_WIDTH and MAX_VA_WIDTH in <asm/page.h> that can be modified
if desired.
Additionally, move away from the MEM_XX_INTRPT nomenclature to
define the start of various regions within the VA space. In fact
the cleaner symbol is, for example, MEM_SV_START, to indicate the
start of the area used for supervisor code; the actual address of the
interrupt vectors is not as important, and can be changed if desired.
As part of this change, convert from "intrpt1" nomenclature (which
built in the old privilege-level 1 model) to a simple "intrpt".
Also strip out some tilepro-specific code supporting modifying the
PL the kernel could run at, since we don't actually support using
different PLs in tilepro, only tilegx.

Previously, we used a special-purpose register (SPR_SYSTEM_SAVE_K_0)
to hold the CPU number and the top of the current kernel stack
by using the low bits to hold the CPU number, and using the high
bits to hold the address of the page just above where we'd want
the kernel stack to be. That way we could initialize a new SP
when first entering the kernel by just masking the SPR value and
subtracting a couple of words.
However, it's actually more useful to be able to place an arbitrary
kernel-top value in the SPR. This allows us to create a new stack
context (e.g. for virtualization) with an arbitrary top-of-stack VA.
To make this work, we now store the CPU number in the high bits,
above the highest legal VA bit (42 bits in the current tilegx
microarchitecture). The full 42 bits are thus available to store the
top of stack value. Getting the current cpu (a relatively common
operation) is still fast; it's now a shift rather than a mask.
We make this change only for tilegx, since tilepro has too few SPR
bits to do this, and we don't need this support on tilepro anyway.

Nothing in the codebase was using them, and as written they took
"unsigned long" as the physical address rather than "phys_addr_t",
which is wrong on tilepro anyway. Rather than fixing stale APIs,
just remove them; if there's ever demand for them on this platform,
we can put them back.

This change adds support for avoiding recursive backtracer crashes;
we haven't seen this in practice other than when things are seriously
corrupt, but it may help avoid losing the root cause of a crash.
Also, don't abort kernel backtracers for invalid userspace PC's.
If we do, we lose the ability to backtrace through a userspace
call to a bad address above PAGE_OFFSET, even though that it can
be perfectly reasonable to continue the backtrace in such a case.

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.

This change improves and cleans up the tile console.
- We enable HVC_IRQ support on tilegx, with the addition of a new
Tilera hypervisor API for tilegx to allow a console IPI. If IPI
support is not available we fall back to the previous polling mode.
- We simplify the earlyprintk code to use CON_BOOT and eliminate some
of the other supporting earlyprintk code.
- A new tile_console_write() primitive is used to send output to
the console and is factored out of the hvc_tile driver.
This lets us support a "sim_console" boot argument to allow using
simulator hooks to send output to the "console" as a slightly
faster alternative to emulating the hardware more directly.

The standard kernel function dma_get_required_mask() uses the
highest DRAM address to determine if 32-bit or 64-bit DMA addressing
is needed. This only works on architectures that have direct mapping
between the PA and the PCI address space, i.e. those that don't have
I/O TLBs or have I/O TLB but choose to use direct mapping. Neither
of these are true for tilegx. Whether to use 64-bit DMA should depend
on the PCI device's capability only, not on the amount of DRAM
installeds, so we now advertise a 64-bit DMA mask unconditionally.

The LSI MEGARAID SAS HBA suffers from the problem where it can do
64-bit DMA to streaming buffers but not to consistent buffers.
In other words, 64-bit DMA is used for disk data transfers and 32-bit
DMA must be used for control message transfers. According to LSI,
the firmware is not fully functional yet. This change implements a
kind of hybrid dma_ops to support this.
Note that on most other platforms, the 64-bit DMA addressing space is the
same as the 32-bit DMA space and they overlap the physical memory space.
No special arrangement is needed to support this kind of mixed DMA
capability. On TILE-Gx, the 64-bit DMA space is completely separate
from the 32-bit DMA space. Due to the use of the IOMMU, the 64-bit DMA
space doesn't overlap the physical memory space. On the other hand,
the 32-bit DMA space overlaps the physical memory space under 4GB.
The separate address spaces make it necessary to have separate dma_ops.

Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:
1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
Make this explicit for all architectures.
2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove
this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
assume.
3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal
might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
caller to sleep. Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
PROVE_LOCKING is set.
