      mm: define VM_GROWSUP for CONFIG_METAG · 9ca52ed9
      James Hogan authored
      Commit cc2383ec ("mm: introduce
      arch-specific vma flag VM_ARCH_1") merged in v3.7-rc1.
      
      The above commit combined several arch-specific vma flags into one, and
      in the process it changed the VM_GROWSUP definition to depend on
      specific architectures rather than CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP. Therefore add
      an ifdef for CONFIG_METAG to also set VM_GROWSUP.

      metag: Atomics, locks and bitops · 6006c0d8
      James Hogan authored
      Add header files to implement Meta hardware thread locks (used by some
      other atomic operations), atomics, spinlocks, and bitops.
      
      There are 2 main types of atomic primitives for metag (in addition to
      IRQs off on UP):
       - LOCK instructions provide locking between hardware threads.
       - LNKGET/LNKSET instructions provide load-linked/store-conditional
         operations allowing for lighter weight atomics on Meta2
      
      LOCK instructions allow for hardware threads to acquire voluntary or
      exclusive hardware thread locks:
       - LOCK0 releases exclusive and voluntary lock from the running hardware
         thread.
       - LOCK1 acquires the voluntary hardware lock, blocking until it becomes
         available.
       - LOCK2 implies LOCK1, and additionally acquires the exclusive hardware
         lock, blocking all other hardware threads from executing.

      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.

      Revert some of "binfmt_elf: cleanups" · c07380be
      James Hogan authored
      The commit "binfmt_elf: cleanups"
      (f670d0ec) removed an ifndef elf_map but
      this breaks compilation for metag which does define elf_map.
      
      This adds the ifndef back in as it was before, but does not affect the
      other cleanups made by that patch.

      asm-generic/unistd.h: handle symbol prefixes in cond_syscall · 4dd3c959
      James Hogan authored
      Some architectures have symbol prefixes and set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX,
      but this wasn't taken into account by the generic cond_syscall. It's
      easy enough to fix in a generic fashion, so add the symbol prefix to
      symbol names in cond_syscall when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set.

      asm-generic/io.h: check CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS · c93d0312
      James Hogan authored
      Make asm-generic/io.h check CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS before defining
      virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt(), otherwise it's easy to accidentally
      have a silently failing incorrect direct mapped definition rather then
      no definition at all.
