Chris Metcalf ce61cdc270 tile: make __write_once a synonym for __read_mostly
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.

Chris Metcalf acbde1db29 tile: parameterize VA and PA space more cleanly
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.

Chris Metcalf e56059f2d3 tile: group .hottext* sections properly in vmlinux.lds
With this change such sections are grouped with regular text
in the vmlinux image; this change puts them at the front,
which is where the standard Linux includes .text.hot*.
This change should fix a recently-observed bug where a bunch of
symbols were being omitted from the /proc/kallsyms output
because they fell between _etext and _sinittext.

Chris Metcalf 9ae0983847 tile: provide traceability for hypervisor calls
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.

Jiang Liu 40a3b8df7b tile: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds
Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage
guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h.

1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head
text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.
2) Export mandatory global variables __init_begin and __init_end.

Tejun Heo 0415b00d17 percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.

The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.

This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.

For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

Chris Metcalf 2cb8240071 arch/tile: catch up with section naming convention in 2.6.35
The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned".  This commit
fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the
old convention.  One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped
in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute.

Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc.

Tejun Heo 19df0c2fef percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline
Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other
percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce
and performance degradation.

This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()
linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline
size and use it to align percpu subsections.

This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch.

Chris Metcalf 0707ad30d1 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.

Chris Metcalf 867e359b97 arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.
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/.
