Mike Frysinger 7eb87fd3f1 Blackfin: BF537: push down error masks to avoid namespace pollution
The error masks are only needed in the BF537 demux error code, so instead
of needing all the short peripheral defines in global space, push these
masks into the one file where they are actually needed.  This fixes a
bunch of define collisions with common code (can/serial/etc...).

Yi Li 578d36f5e1 Blackfin: SMP: don't start up core b until its state has been completely onlined
When testing PREEMPT_RT kernel on BF561-EZKit, the kernel blocks while
booting.  When the kernel initializes the ethernet driver, it sleeps and
never wakes up.

The issue happens when the kernel waits for a timer for Core B to timeout
(the timers are per-cpu based: static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct tvec_base *,
tvec_bases) = &boot_tvec_bases).

However, the ksoftirqd thread for Core B (note, the ksoftirqd thread is
also per-cpu based) cannot work properly, and the timers for Core B never
times out.

When ksoftirqd() for the first time runs on core B, it is possible core A
is still initializing core B (see smp_init() -> cpu_up() -> __cpu_up()).
So the "cpu_is_offline()" check may return true and ksoftirqd moves to
"wait_to_die".

So delay the core b start up until the per-cpu timers have been set up
fully.

The GPIOs on ports C/D/E on the BF538/BF539 do not behave the same way as
the other ports on the part and the same way as all other Blackfin parts.
The MMRs are programmed slightly different and they cannot be used to
generate interrupts or wakeup a sleeping system.  Since these guys don't
fit into the existing code, create a simple gpiolib driver for them.

Michael Hennerich d887a1ce28 Blackfin: cpufreq: use a constant latency
PLL_LOCKCNT applies only to the PLL programming sequence which does not
apply to core and system clock dividers.  Writes to PLL_DIV to change the
CSEL/SSEL dividers take effect immediately.

There is still overhead in software in writing the new dividers, so just
use a value of 50us as this should be good enough.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. RĂ©mi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Graf Yang 01b9f4b0ed Blackfin: improve double fault debug handling
Since the hardware only provides reporting for the last exception handled,
and the values are valid only when executing the exception handler, we
need to save the context for reporting at a later point.  While we do this
for one exception, it doesn't work properly when handling a second one as
the original exception is clobbered by the double fault.  So when double
fault debugging is enabled, create a dedicated shadow of these values and
save/restore out of there.  Now the crash report properly displays the
first exception as well as the second one.

Robin Getz 837ec2d56c Blackfin: catch hardware errors earlier during booting
Allow hardware errors to be caught during early portions of booting, and
leave something in the shadow console that people can use to debug their
system with (to be printed out by the bootloader on next reset).

This enables the hardare error interrupts in head.S, allowing us to find
hardware errors when they happen (well, as much as you can with a hardware
error) and prints out the trace if it is enabled.  This will catch errors
(like booting the wrong image on a 533) which previously resulted in a
infinite loop/hang, as well as random hardware errors before before
setup_arch().

To disable this debug only feature - turn off EARLY_PRINTK.

The purpose of the EVT14 handler may depend on whether CONFIG_IPIPE is

the interrupt pipeline is enabled, EVT14 can be used to raise the core
priority level for the running code; when CONFIG_IPIPE is off, EVT14
can be used to lower this level before running softirq handlers.

Rename evt14_softirq to evt_evt14 to pick an identifier that fits
both, which allows to reuse the same vector setup code as well.

Robin Getz ae4f073c40 Blackfin: make EVT3->EVT5 lowering more robust wrt IPEND[4]
We handle many exceptions at EVT5 (hardware error level) so that we can
catch exceptions in our exception handling code.  Today - if the global
interrupt enable bit (IPEND[4]) is set (interrupts disabled) our trap
handling code goes into a infinite loop, since we need interrupts to be
on to defer things to EVT5.

Normal kernel code should not trigger this for any reason as IPEND[4] gets
cleared early (when doing an interrupt context save) and the kernel stack
there should be sane (or something much worse is happening in the system).
But there have been a few times where this has happened, so this change
makes sure we dump a proper crash message even when things have gone south.

Robin Getz b9a3899d59 Blackfin: make deferred hardware errors more exact
Hardware errors on the Blackfin architecture are queued by nature of the
hardware design.  Things that could generate a hardware level queue up at
the system interface and might not process until much later, at which
point the system would send a notification back to the core.

As such, it is possible for user space code to do something that would
trigger a hardware error, but have it delay long enough for the process
context to switch.  So when the hardware error does signal, we mistakenly
evaluate it as a different process or as kernel context and panic (erp!).
This makes it pretty difficult to find the offending context.  But wait,
there is good news somewhere.

By forcing a SSYNC in the interrupt entry, we force all pending queues at
the system level to be processed and all hardware errors to be signaled.
Then we check the current interrupt state to see if the hardware error is
now signaled.  If so, we re-queue the current interrupt and return thus
allowing the higher priority hardware error interrupt to process properly.
Since we haven't done any other context processing yet, the right context
will be selected and killed.  There is still the possibility that the
exact offending instruction will be unknown, but at least we'll have a
much better idea of where to look.

The downside of course is that this causes system-wide syncs at every
interrupt point which results in significant performance degradation.
Since this situation should not occur in any properly configured system
(as hardware errors are triggered by things like bad pointers), make it a
debug configuration option and disable it by default.

Graf Yang 5ba766752d Blackfin: work around anomaly 05000220
When possible, work around anomaly 05000220 (external memory is write
back cached, but L2 is not cached).  If not possible, detect the
conditions at build time and reject any qualifying configurations.

Graf Yang 1fa9be72b5 Blackfin: add support for gptimer0 as a tick source
For systems where the core cycles are not a usable tick source (like SMP
or cycles gets updated), enable gptimer0 as an alternative.
