2014-10-05xtensa: fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 region handling in fast_second_level_missMax Filippov
commit 7128039fe2dd3d59da9e4ffa036f3aaa3ba87b9f upstream. Current definition of TLBTEMP_BASE_2 is always 32K above the TLBTEMP_BASE_1, whereas fast_second_level_miss handler for the TLBTEMP region analyzes virtual address bit (PAGE_SHIFT + DCACHE_ALIAS_ORDER) to determine TLBTEMP region where the fault happened. The size of the TLBTEMP region is also checked incorrectly: not 64K, but twice data cache way size (whicht may as well be less than the instruction cache way size). Fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 to be TLBTEMP_BASE_1 + data cache way size. Provide TLBTEMP_SIZE that is a greater of doubled data cache way size or the instruction cache way size, and use it to determine if the second level TLB miss occured in the TLBTEMP region. Practical occurence of page faults in the TLBTEMP area is extremely rare, this code can be tested by deletion of all w[di]tlb instructions in the tlbtemp_mapping region.

With SMP and a lot of debug options enabled task_struct::thread gets out of reach of s32i/l32i instructions with base pointing at task_struct, breaking build with the following messages: arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages: arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1002: Error: operand 3 of 'l32i.n' has invalid value '1048' arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1831: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1040' arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1832: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1044' Change base to point to task_struct::thread in such cases.

2014-03-06xtensa: introduce spill_registers_kernel macroMax Filippov
commit e2fd1374c705abe4661df3fb6fadb3879c7c1846 upstream. Most in-kernel users want registers spilled on the kernel stack and don't require PS.EXCM to be set. That means that they don't need fixup routine and could reuse regular window overflow mechanism for that, which makes spill routine very simple.

2012-12-18xtensa: add device trees supportMax Filippov
Device trees allow specification of hardware topology and device parameters at runtime instead of hard-coding them in platform setup code. This allows running single binary kernel on a range of compatible boards. New boot parameters tag BP_TAG_FDT is allocated and a pointer to flat device tree is passed in it. Note that current interrupt mapping scheme uses single cell for interrupt identification. That means that IRQ numbers used in DTS must be CPU internal IRQ numbers, not external. It is possible to extend interrupt identification to two cells, and use second cell to tell external IRQ numbers form internal. That would allow to use single DTS on multiple boards with different mapping of external IRQ numbers. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>

2012-12-18xtensa: add s32c1i sanity checkMax Filippov
Add a brief sanity test of S32C1I functionality. This instruction is needed by the kernel and userland as part of the base ABI (including GCC atomic builtins, certain threading packages, future atomic support in the C++ standard, etc). However, correct operation of this instruction requires some cooperation by hardware external to the processor (such as bus bridge, bus fabric, or memory controller). Minimally exercising this mechanism and reporting explicit status early in the boot process is helpful to chip vendors using the Linux kernel as a benchmark of correctness of hardware. As it turns out, S32C1I is not exercised by the kernel and by uClibc based userland as of early June 2008. This is expected to change soon as both incorporate more recent open source developments.

As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely architecture-independent. - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/ copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump. - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in kernel/fork.c now." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits) do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument ptrace_signal(): get rid of unused arguments get rid of ptrace_signal_deliver() arguments new helper: signal_pt_regs() unify default ptrace_signal_deliver flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork() death to idle_regs() don't pass regs to copy_process() flagday: don't pass regs to copy_thread() bfin: switch to generic vfork, get rid of pointless wrappers xtensa: switch to generic clone() openrisc: switch to use of generic fork and clone unicore32: switch to generic clone(2) score: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone c6x: sanitize copy_thread(), get rid of clone(2) wrapper, switch to generic clone() take sys_fork/sys_vfork/sys_clone prototypes to linux/syscalls.h mn10300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone h8300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone tile: switch to generic clone() ...
