* BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>Arnd Bergmann2010-11-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point, leaving only the #include. Remove this too as a cleanup. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* asm-generic/stat.h: support 64-bit file time_t for stat()Chris Metcalf2010-11-011-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing asm-generic/stat.h specifies st_mtime, etc., as a 32-value, and works well for 32-bit architectures (currently microblaze, score, and 32-bit tile). However, for 64-bit architectures it isn't sufficient to return 32 bits of time_t; this isn't good insurance against the 2037 rollover. (It also makes glibc support less convenient, since we can't use glibc's handy STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT mode.) This change extends the two "timespec" fields for each of the three atime, mtime, and ctime fields from "int" to "long". As a result, on 32-bit platforms nothing changes, and 64-bit platforms will now work as expected. The only wrinkle is 32-bit userspace under 64-bit kernels taking advantage of COMPAT mode. For these, we leave the "struct stat64" definitions with the "int" versions of the time_t and nsec fields, so that architectures can implement compat_sys_stat64() and friends with sys_stat64(), etc., and get the expected 32-bit structure layout. This requires a field-by-field copy in the kernel, implemented by the code guarded under __ARCH_WANT_STAT64. This does mean that the shape of the "struct stat" and "struct stat64" structures is different on a 64-bit kernel, but only one of the two structures should ever be used by any given process: "struct stat" is meant for 64-bit userspace only, and "struct stat64" for 32-bit userspace only. (On a 32-bit kernel the two structures continue to have the same shape, since "long" is 32 bits.) The alternative is keeping the two structures the same shape on 64-bit kernels, which means a 64-bit time_t in "struct stat64" for 32-bit processes. This is a little unnatural since 32-bit userspace can't do anything with 64 bits of time_t information, since time_t is just "long", not "int64_t"; and in any case 32-bit userspace might expect to be running under a 32-bit kernel, which can't provide the high 32 bits anyway. In the case of a 32-bit kernel we'd then be extending the kernel's 32-bit time_t to 64 bits, then truncating it back to 32 bits again in userspace, for no particular reason. And, as mentioned above, if we have 64-bit time_t for 32-bit processes we can't easily use glibc's STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT, since glibc's stat structure requires an embedded "struct timespec", which is a pair of "long" (32-bit) values in a 32-bit userspace. "Inventive" solutions are possible, but are pretty hacky. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
* arch/tile: make ptrace() work properly for TILE-Gx COMPAT modeChris Metcalf2010-10-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we tried to pass 64-bit arguments through the "COMPAT" mode 32-bit syscall API, which turned out not to work well. Now we just use straight 32-bit arguments in COMPAT mode, thus requiring individual registers to be read/written with two syscalls. Of course this is uncommon, since usually all the registers are read or written at once. The restructuring applies to all the tile platforms, but is plausibly better than the original code in any case. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* arch/tile: Use <asm-generic/syscalls.h>Chris Metcalf2010-10-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this change we now include <asm-generic/syscalls.h> into the "tile" version of the header. To take full advantage of the prototypes there, we also change our naming convention for "struct pt_regs *" syscalls so that, e.g., _sys_execve() is the "true" syscall entry, which sets the appropriate register to point to the pt_regs before calling sys_execve(). While doing this I realized I no longer needed the fork and vfork entry point stubs, since those functions aren't in the generic syscall ABI, so I removed them as well.

* arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.Chris Metcalf2010-07-061-22/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.Chris Metcalf2010-06-041-0/+183
This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips. No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet. This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic; and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
