Thanks for this. I took an initial look at the code and it looks pretty
good as far as I got though not mergeable for 2.6.35 IMHO. There are a number
of areas where code should be generic that is not, and there is stuff
in there that I think you should submit separately.

It would help if you can set up an actual git tree to pull from, but
it also works the way you did it. I looked mostly at the header files,
leaving out the device drivers and oprofile intentionally and I have
not yet found time to look at your arch/tile/{lib,kernel,mm}

Most of these device drivers should be reviewed separately
using the appropriate mailing lists. In general we prefer
the drivers to live in drivers/{net,ata,serial,...} than
in arch/.../drivers.
The notable exception is pci, which should go to arch/tile/pci
but still be reviewed in the pci mailing list.

You will want to implement PERF_EVENTS, which replaces OPROFILE
(you can have both though). You should not need HAVE_IDE, which
is deprecated by libata, but you will need to reimplement the
driver. HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API is a good one, you
should implmenent that. HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT is good, but
requires hardware support.
It is unlikely that you need DMA attributes (unless your PCI
devices want to use nonstandard ordering rules). Similarly,
you hopefully won't need HAVE_GENERIC_DMA_COHERENT.

These sound like very interesting features that may also be
useful for other architectures. I would recommend splitting them
out into separate patches, by removing the support from the
base architecture patch, and submitting the two patches for these
features for discussion on the linux-kernel and linux-arch
mailing lists.

I would recommend leaving out this option on your architecture
because of the craziness. If I understand you correctly, the
CPUs are all 64 bit capable, so there is little point in
micro-optimizing the highmem case.

This driver is likely one of the hardest things to review. I'd
recommend leaving it out of the arch patch for now and submitting
it for a separate review together with the host side driver.

I haven't looked at the driver, but it's very likely that you
want to replace it with either a backend for drivers/char/hvc_console.c
or drivers/serial/serial_core.c, modeled after the other drivers
using those interfaces. serial_core is for things that look like
an actual UART, while hvc_console is for abstracted interfaces
that have a simple read/write interface like a hypervisor.

This file looks like mixed kernel/user code, which is something
we don't normally do. It also does not follow kernel coding style.
I'd suggest splitting the implementation and having the kernel
version only include the necessary code without all the #ifdef
and in normal style.
You could also leave this out for now.

This file uses nonstandard formatting of the comments. Is it
a generated file, or something that needs to be shared with
other projects?
If it is not shared with anything that strictly mandates the
style, I'd recommend moving to regular kernel style.

I would not use these functions directly in driver code.
You could move all of cycle.h to timex.h and rename
get_cycle_count to get_cycles. The other functions
are not used anywhere, so they don't need to be
part of the header.
You should also implement read_current_timer using
this so you can avoid the expensive delay loop
calibration at boot time.

Another abstraction you can kill by moving this directly
to cpu_relax and calling that from your relax().

Please get rid of these abstraction, inlining is already hard
enough with the macros we have in the common code. We have
an __always_inline macro that is defined the same way as yours
and if you can make a good case for your __USUALLY_INLINE,
we can add that as __usually_inline to linux/compiler.h

note that header-y and unifdef-y are now synonyms,
you can just make them all header-y.
Do you really need to export user.h and page.h?

The comment is right, they should not be exported.

Can be removed. syscall_table.S is the only user (of just one
of its macros), so just change that file to not rely on
the header.

This file looks mostly generic, and is to a large extent the
same as the existing asm-generic/atomic.h. Could you add an
#ifdef atomic_add_return to the definition of that in
the generic file and use that, overriding the functions
that need to be architecture specific on SMP systems?

It's unclear why part of atomic.h is split out into atomic_32.h,

atomic64_t ;-).

The file backtrace.h is not exported to user space, so you don't
need any of these guards in the kernel. It should also be changed
to follow regular coding style.

This file looks completely generic, but improved over the
asm-generic/bitops/* files by using compiler builtins where
possible.
It would be nice if you could change the generic code to
use the same builtins when possible.

Why not just declare set_bit (and other functions from here)

Don't do this, just use the __u32 and similar types in
data structures. The stdint.h types are problematic
in exported kernel headers.

Pointers in ioctl data structures are bad because they
require conversion between 32 bit applications and 64 bit
kernels. Better use a __u64 member or try to avoid the pointers
entirely.

This data structure has implicit padding. I suspect that this
is ok on your arch, but in general you should make the padding
explicit or avoid it by aligning the members. Just make len
a __u64 here.
The problem is that code that is portable to x86 behaves differently
in 32 and 64 bit mode: x86-32 does not add padding here.

These should actually be _IOWR, not _IO, because you are

While this file is trivial, please just use the asm-generic

ages) that lets you leave out any files that only contain

We don't have an architecture using the asm-generic headers
with CONFIG_COMPAT support yet, so tile would be the first
one. I think you should just move this file to
include/asm-generic/compat.h and use that, so future architectures
don't need to define their own.

I'd rather not make this part of the interface. Just move this

These definitions do not look helful. If you cannot figure out what
to do here, it may be better to just declare functions without
a definition so you get a link error for drivers that need them
instead of a runtime panic.
Usually you need to do the same thing you do while mapping when
you sync to the device (e.g. a cache flush) and potentially
a cache invalidate when you sync to the CPU.

The asm-generic version should be enough unless you plan to

This does not look right, /proc files should not be used with ioctl,
although we have a few existing cases already. You could probably
change this to a misc chardev or a debugfs file.

Any reason for having your own copy of this instead of the
generic file?

If you don't support kvm, just remove this file.

This looks like you can use the asm-generic/mman.h file.

Since the file is exported to user space, the map_cache stuff probably
should not be here, but get moved to a different header that
is private to the kernel.

Anything wrong with the asm-generic version of this file?
You really should not need to define your own version,
because this is relevant to the user ABI.

Same here, this is part of the ABI, so please use the generic version.

The comments both do not match the code apparently.

This file could just be renamed to spinlock.h, afaict.

long story. It should however actually be something related to the
your frequency, not the time base of the i8253 chip that I hope
you are not using.

Your unistd.h file contains syscall numbers for many calls that
you should not need in a new architecture. Please move to the
asm-generic/unistd.h file instead. There may be a few things you
need to do in libc to get there, but this version is no good.
If you have problems with asm-generic/unistd.h (or any of the other
asm-generic files), feel free to ask me for help.
