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

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

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

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.

Allow enabling frame pointer support; this makes it easier to hook into the various kernel features that claim they require it without having to add Kconfig conditionals everywhere (a la mips, ppc, s390, and microblaze). When enabled, it basically eliminates leaf functions as such, and stops optimizing tail and sibling calls. It adds around 3% to the size of the kernel when enabled.

The TILE-Gx chip includes an on-chip UART. This change adds support for using the UART from within the kernel. The UART shim has more functionality than is exposed here, but to keep the kernel code and binary simpler, this is a subset of the full API designed to enable a standard Linux tty serial driver only.

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

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.
