tile: Replace __get_cpu_var uses
__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

tile: remove support for TILE64
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.

tile: fast-path unaligned memory access for tilegx
This change enables unaligned userspace memory access via a kernel
fast path on tilegx. The kernel tracks user PC/instruction pairs
per-thread using a direct-mapped cache in userspace. The cache
maps those PC/instruction pairs to JIT'ed instruction sequences that
load or store using byte-wide load store intructions and then
synthesize 2-, 4- or 8-byte load or store results. Once an
instruction has been seen to generate an unaligned access once,
subsequent hits on that instruction typically require overhead
of only around 50 cycles if cache and TLB is hot.
We support the prctl() PR_GET_UNALIGN / PR_SET_UNALIGN sys call to
enable or disable unaligned fixups on a per-process basis.
To do this we pull some of the tilepro unaligned support out of the
single_step.c file; tilepro uses instruction disassembly for both
single-step and unaligned access support. Since tilegx actually has
hardware singlestep support, though, it's cleaner to keep the tilegx
unaligned access code in a separate file. While we're at it,
properly rename the tilepro-specific types, etc., to have tilepro
suffixes instead of generic tile suffixes.

VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function
This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.
This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

arch/tile: return SIGBUS for addresses that are unaligned AND invalid
Previously we were returning SIGSEGV in this case. It seems cleaner
to return SIGBUS since the hardware figures out alignment traps
before TLB violations, so SIGBUS is the "more correct" signal.

arch/tile: factor out <arch/opcode.h> header
The kernel code was using some <asm> headers that included a mix
of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera <arch>
headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.
This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: <arch/opcode.h>.
This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
<arch> headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.
The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
the disassembly code (<asm/tile-desc.h> with _32 and _64 variants),
replaces the old <asm/opcode-tile*.h> and <asm/opcode_constants*.h>
headers.
As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
and any successor "tile" architecture chips.

arch/tile: support signal "exception-trace" hook
This change adds support for /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace to tile.
Like x86 and sparc, by default it is set to "1", generating a one-line
printk whenever a user process crashes. By setting it to "2", we get
a much more complete userspace diagnostic at crash time, including
a user-space backtrace, register dump, and memory dump around the
address of the crash.
Some vestiges of the Tilera-internal version of this support are
removed with this patch (the show_crashinfo variable and the
arch_coredump_signal function). We retain a "crashinfo" boot parameter
which allows you to set the boot-time value of exception-trace.

arch/tile: support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
This support is required for CONFIG_KEYS, NFSv4 kernel DNS, etc.
The change is slightly more complex than the minimal thing, since
I took advantage of having to go into the assembly code to just
move a bunch of stuff into C code: specifically, the schedule(),
do_async_page_fault(), do_signal(), and single_step_once() support,
in addition to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support.

arch/tile: bug fix: exec'ed task thought it was still single-stepping
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.

arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.
This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse"
and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since
things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the
codebase tend to get tedious to read. Rather than trying to tease
apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code
review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code:
- sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals.
- sparse: Fix __user annotations.
- sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int.
- sparse: removing functions not actually used.
- checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.;
also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code.
- checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs.
- checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments.
In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in
to this commit:
- Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised.
- Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate
some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI.
- Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.
