The first is that we were using an incorrect hand-rolled variant of __kernel_text_address() which didn't handle module PCs. We now just use the standard API. The second was that we weren't accounting for the three-level page table when we were trying to pre-verify the addresses on the 64-bit TILE-Gx processor; we now do that correctly.

This avoids having to maintain an additional separate assembly file, and of course the inline is slightly more efficient as well. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

Previously we used iret to atomically return to kernel PL with interrupts enabled. However, it turns out that we are architecturally guaranteed that we can just set and clear the "interrupt critical section" and only interrupt on the following instruction, so we now do that instead, since it's cleaner.

These headers are used by Linux but are maintained upstream. This change incorporates a few minor fixes to these headers, including a new sim_print() function, cleaner support for the sim_syscall() API, and a sim_query_cpu_speed() method. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

As the added comment says, we can sometimes see a coherence warning from our simulator if the "swapper_pgprot" variable on the boot cpu has not been evicted from cache by the time the other cpus come up. Force it to be evicted so we never see the warning. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

This should have been as part of the initial hardwall submission to LKML but was overlooked. The header provides the ioctl definitions for manipulating the hardwall fd, so needs to be available to userspace. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned". This commit fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the old convention. One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute. Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen. If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most 254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss. A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always result in a bright enough screen. IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value. Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough. If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine. For more information see the below links.

Some thinkpad hotkeys report key codes like KEY_FN_F8 when something like KEY_VOLUMEDOWN is desired. Always provide the scan codes in addition to the key codes to assist with debugging these issues. Also send the scan code before the key code to match what other drivers do, as some userspace utilities expect this ordering.
