      tile: provide traceability for hypervisor calls · 9ae09838
      Chris Metcalf authored
      This change adds infrastructure (CONFIG_TILE_HVGLUE_TRACE) that
      provides C code wrappers for the calls the kernel makes to the Tilera
      hypervisor.  This allows standard kernel infrastructure like FTRACE to
      be able to instrument hypervisor calls.
      
      To allow direct calls to the true API, we export their names with a
      leading underscore as well.  This is important for the few contexts
      where we need to make hypervisor calls without touching the stack.
      
      As part of this change, we also switch from creating the symbols
      with linker magic to creating them with assembler magic.  This lets
      us provide a symbol type and generally make them appear more as symbols
      and less as just random values in the Elf namespace.

      tile: avoid struct vm_struct leak · fad052dc
      Chris Metcalf authored
      If ioreamp_prot() fails in ioremap_page_range() due to kernel memory
      exhaustion, we previously would leak a struct vm_struct.

      tile: implement gettimeofday() via vDSO · 4a556f4f
      Chris Metcalf authored
      This change creates the framework for vDSO calls, makes the existing
      rt_sigreturn() mechanism use it, and adds a fast gettimeofday().
      Now that we need to expose the vDSO address to userspace, we add
      AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the set of aux entries provided to userspace.
      (You can disable any extra vDSO support by booting with vdso=0,
      but the rt_sigreturn vDSO page will still be provided.)
      
      Note that glibc has supported the tile vDSO since release 2.17.

      tile: support simulator notification for ET_DYN objects · 0c1d1917
      Chris Metcalf authored
      The tile code notifies the simulator of new ET_EXEC objects starting
      to execute so that tracing code can properly annotate the objects.
      However, we didn't support ET_DYN executables like ld.so, so we
      didn't properly load symbols, etc.  This change enables that support;
      we use a variant of the SIM_CONTROL_DLOPEN simulator notification
      that newer simulators will recognize and use to set the base address
      for the next SIM_CONTROL_OS_EXEC notification.
