      metag: System Calls · 26025bbf
      James Hogan authored
      Add metag system call and gateway page interfaces. The metag
      architecture port uses the generic system call numbers from
      asm-generic/unistd.h, as well as a user gateway page mapped at
      0x6ffff000 which contains fast atomic primitives (depending on SMP) and
      a fast method of accessing TLS data.
      
      System calls use the SWITCH instruction with the immediate 0x440001 to
      signal a system call.

      metag: Internal and external irqchips · 5698c50d
      James Hogan authored
      Meta core internal interrupts (from HWSTATMETA and friends) are vectored
      onto the TR1 core trigger for the current thread. This is demultiplexed
      in irq-metag.c to individual Linux IRQs for each internal interrupt.
      
      External SoC interrupts (from HWSTATEXT and friends) are vectored onto
      the TR2 core trigger for the current thread. This is demultiplexed in
      irq-metag-ext.c to individual Linux IRQs for each external SoC interrupt.
      The external irqchip has devicetree bindings for configuring the number
      of irq banks and the type of masking available.

      metag: Traps · ac919f08
      James Hogan authored
      Add trap code for metag. At the lowest level Meta traps (and return from
      interrupt instruction - RTI) simply swap the PC and PCX registers and
      optionally toggle the interrupt status bit (ISTAT). Low level TBX code
      in tbipcx.S handles the core context save, determine the TBX signal
      number based on the core trigger that fired (using the TXSTATI status
      register), and call TBX signal handlers (mostly in traps.c) via a vector
      table.

      metag: Time keeping · a2c5d4ed
      James Hogan authored
      Add time keeping code for metag. Meta hardware threads have 2 timers.
      The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and
      the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both
      counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.

      metag: ptrace · bc3966bf
      James Hogan authored
      The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
      sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
      details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
      structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
      context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
      are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
      from the signal context.
      
      struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
      purpose register context.
      
      struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
      registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
      access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
      fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
      taking place.
      
      struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
      the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
      hand optimised data loops.
      
      Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
      aren't yet exposed through ptrace.

      metag: Memory handling · 373cd784
      James Hogan authored
      Meta has instructions for accessing:
       - bytes        - GETB (1 byte)
       - words        - GETW (2 bytes)
       - doublewords  - GETD (4 bytes)
       - longwords    - GETL (8 bytes)
      
      All accesses must be aligned. Unaligned accesses can be detected and
      made to fault on Meta2, however it isn't possible to fix up unaligned
      writes so we don't bother fixing up reads either.
      
      This patch adds metag memory handling code including:
       - I/O memory (io.h, ioremap.c): Actually any virtual memory can be
         accessed with these helpers. A part of the non-MMUable address space
         is used for memory mapped I/O. The ioremap() function is implemented
         one to one for non-MMUable addresses.
       - User memory (uaccess.h, usercopy.c): User memory is directly
         accessible from privileged code.
       - Kernel memory (maccess.c): probe_kernel_write() needs to be
         overwridden to use the I/O functions when doing a simple aligned
         write to non-writecombined memory, otherwise the write may be split
         by the generic version.
      
      Note that due to the fact that a portion of the virtual address space is
      non-MMUable, and therefore always maps directly to the physical address
      space, metag specific I/O functions are made available (metag_in32,
      metag_out32 etc). These cast the address argument to a pointer so that
      they can be used with raw physical addresses. These accessors are only
      to be used for accessing fixed core Meta architecture registers in the
      non-MMU region, and not for any SoC/peripheral registers.

      metag: Memory management · f5df8e26
      James Hogan authored
      Add memory management files for metag.
      
      Meta's 32bit virtual address space is split into two halves:
       - local (0x08000000-0x7fffffff): traditionally local to a hardware
         thread and incoherent between hardware threads. Each hardware thread
         has it's own local MMU table. On Meta2 the local space can be
         globally coherent (GCOn) if the cache partitions coincide.
       - global (0x88000000-0xffff0000): coherent and traditionally global
         between hardware threads. On Meta2, each hardware thread has it's own
         global MMU table.
      
      The low 128MiB of each half is non-MMUable and maps directly to the
      physical address space:
       - 0x00010000-0x07ffffff: contains Meta core registers and maps SoC bus
       - 0x80000000-0x87ffffff: contains low latency global core memories
      
      Linux usually further splits the local virtual address space like this:
       - 0x08000000-0x3fffffff: user mappings
       - 0x40000000-0x7fffffff: kernel mappings

      metag: Cache/TLB handling · 99ef7c2a
      James Hogan authored
      Add cache and TLB handling code for metag, including the required
      callbacks used by MM switches and DMA operations. Caches can be
      partitioned between the hardware threads and the global space, however
      this is usually configured by the bootloader so Linux doesn't make any
      changes to this configuration. TLBs aren't configurable, so only need
      consideration to flush them.
      
      On Meta1 the L1 cache was VIVT which required a full flush on MM switch.
      Meta2 has a VIPT L1 cache so it doesn't require the full flush on MM
      switch. Meta2 can also have a writeback L2 with hardware prefetch which
      requires some special handling. Support is optional, and the L2 can be
      detected and initialised by Linux.

      metag: Boot · 85d9d7a9
      James Hogan authored
      Add boot code for metag. Due to the multi-threaded nature of Meta it is
      not uncommon for an RTOS or bare metal application to be started on
      other hardware threads by the bootloader. Since there is a single MMU
      switch which affects all threads, the MMU is traditionally configured by
      the bootloader prior to starting Linux. The bootloader passes a
      structure to Linux which among other things contains information about
      memory regions which have been mapped. Linux then assumes control of the
      local heap memory region.
      
      A kernel arguments string pointer or a flattened device tree pointer can
      be provided in the third argument.

      Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS · c19fa94a
      James Hogan authored
      On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
      explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
      64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).
      
      However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
      accesses requiring alignment such as metag.
      
      This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
      which defaults to 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
      explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
      can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
      required.
