This change adds the first network driver for the tile architecture,
supporting the on-chip XGBE and GBE shims.

The infrastructure is present for the TILE-Gx networking drivers (another
three source files in the new directory) but for now the the actual
tilegx sources are waiting on releasing hardware to initial customers.

Note that arch/tile/include/hv/* are "upstream" headers from the
Tilera hypervisor and will probably benefit less from LKML review.

1. MUST not use volatile, see volatile-considered-harmful.txt
2. SHOULD use __u32 rather than uint32_t in kernel structures
3. MUST not introduce typedef's; use structures
4. SHOULD use proper kernel implementation

If you use scripts/checkpatch.pl it will tell you about these.

Stephen, thanks for your feedback!

The "harmful" use of volatile is in trying to fake out SMP.  Believe me,
with a 64-core architecture, we know our SMP guidelines. :-)  Our use here
is simply to force the compiler to issue a load, for the side-effect of
populating the TLB, for example.

However, your response does suggest that simply the syntactic use of
"volatile" will cause a red flag for readers.  I'll move this to an inline
function in a header with a comment explaining what it's for, and use the
function instead.

> 2. SHOULD use __u32 rather than uint32_t in kernel structures

Thanks, I've made this change in drivers/net/tile/tilepro.c.  In fact, I
used "u32" since this code is not shared with userspace.  However, see
below for the <hv/xxx.h> header files.

> 3. MUST not introduce typedef's; use structures
> 4. SHOULD use proper kernel implementation

(I think you mean proper kernel indentation.)  This is already true for the
kernel sources in driver/net/tile/, but false for the tile-specific
hypervisor headers in arch/tile/include/hv/.  These are "upstream" headers
that are being added to the kernel on an as-needed basis so the kernel can
talk with the hypervisor.

Including a copy of the hypervisor headers with the kernel makes it easier
to build the kernel (since there are no external dependencies that need to
be tracked down to do the build) and is consistent with the fact that we
can in principle modify the hypervisor and its headers out of sync with the
kernel, but still expect the old headers to work correctly with a new
hypervisor since Linux always initializes itself to the hypervisor with the
compiled-in header version number.

So the upshot is that these headers are imported into the kernel and
generally can't be stylistically modified.  But they are "ghettoized" to
arch/tile/include/hv/ and should not cause any trouble. :-)

> If you use scripts/checkpatch.pl it will tell you about these.

Yes, the "volatile" issue is mentioned, but even with "--strict", there's
no mention of uint32_t, so I missed that.  I don't see "uint32" mentioned
anywhere in scripts/checkpatch.pl, in fact.

Please read Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt

Then if there is a problem, we can make change to the documentation, but
volatile use in new code is _strictly_ forbidden.

ACCESS_ONCE() is your friend, we might document it in
Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt

I read it and internalized it long ago, and re-read it when I got Stephen's
original email.  I should have said that explicitly instead of a comment
with a smiley -- email is a tricky communication medium sometimes.

Several uses of "*(volatile int *)ptr" in that file are intended as
performance hints.  A more obvious way to state this, for our compiler, is
to say "prefetch_L1(ptr)".  This generates essentially the same code, but
avoids the red flag for "volatile" and also reads more clearly, so it's a
good change.

The other use is part of a very precise dance that involves detailed
knowledge of the Tile memory subsystem micro-architecture.  This doesn't
really belong in the network device driver code, so I've moved it to
<asm/cacheflush.h>, and cleaned it up, with detailed comments.  The use
here is that our network hardware's DMA engine can be used in a mode where
it reads directly from memory, in which case you must ensure that any
cached values have been flushed.

/*
 * Flush & invalidate a VA range that is homed remotely on a single core,
 * waiting until the memory controller holds the flushed values.
 */
static inline void finv_buffer_remote(void *buffer, size_t size)

	int i;

Good idea, but neither of the use cases at issue here benefit from ACCESS_ONCE.

Thanks for your feedback!

This kind of things really must be discussed before using it in a
network driver.

Because, an skb can be built by one CPU, queued on a qdisc queue, with
no particular "cached values have been flushed" ...

It then can be dequeued by another CPU, and given to the device.
What happens then ?

The particular usage here is in tile_net_tx_frags(), as you can see in the
patch.  The skb is at the very last stage of being egressed, so we flush
any dirty cache lines to memory before asking the hardware to transmit. 
This is pretty standard for hardware that is not coherent with the cache.

In fact, though, this is not the standard mode we run the driver in; it's
almost always used in the cache-coherent mode ("hash_default") where we are
reading the skb data out of the caches of the cores it is resident in.  The
"if (!hash_default)" clause here is only true for our first-generation
hardware (TILE64) or when using our current (TILEPro) hardware in a way
that is basically backwards-compatible with TILE64, typically for some kind
of cache-utilization benchmarking purpose.

As to your specific question, certainly during the time an skb is being set
up for egress, added to a qdisc queue, etc., we don't make any assumptions
about where or how the data is cached.

I'm happy to discuss specific details of how the driver works, but I
suspect it's the usual mix of boilerplate skb management, NAPI support,
etc., mixed in with specifics of how to set up shared memory queues for the
ingress and egress hardware (or "firmware" since some of this is handled by
a hypervisor layer on a dedicated core).

+ * @brief An object for specifying the characteristics of NetIO communication
+ * endpoint.
+ *
+ * @ingroup setup
+ *
+ * The @ref netio_input_register() function uses this structure to define
+ * how an application tile will communicate with an IPP.
+ *
+ *
+ * Future updates to NetIO may add new members to this structure,
+ * which can affect the success of the registration operation.  Thus,
+ * if dynamically initializing the structure, applications are urged to
+ * zero it out first, for example:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * netio_input_config_t config;
+ * memset(&config, 0, sizeof (config));
+ * config.flags = NETIO_RECV | NETIO_XMIT_CSUM | NETIO_TAG_NONE;
+ * config.num_receive_packets = NETIO_MAX_RECEIVE_PKTS;
+ * config.queue_id = 0;
+ *     .
+ *     .
+ *     .
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * since that guarantees that any unused structure members, including
+ * members which did not exist when the application was first developed,
+ * will not have unexpected values.
+ *
+ * If statically initializing the structure, we strongly recommend use of
+ * C99-style named initializers, for example:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * netio_input_config_t config = {
+ *    .flags = NETIO_RECV | NETIO_XMIT_CSUM | NETIO_TAG_NONE,
+ *    .num_receive_packets = NETIO_MAX_RECEIVE_PKTS,
+ *    .queue_id = 0,
+ * },
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * instead of the old-style structure initialization:
+ *

+  /** Registration characteristics.
+
+      This value determines several characteristics of the registration;
+      flags for different types of behavior are ORed together to make the
+      final flag value.  Generally applications should specify exactly
+      one flag from each of the following categories:
+
+      - Whether the application will be receiving packets on this queue
+        (::NETIO_RECV or ::NETIO_NO_RECV).
+
+      - Whether the application will be transmitting packets on this queue,
+        and if so, whether it will request egress checksum calculation
+        (::NETIO_XMIT, ::NETIO_XMIT_CSUM, or ::NETIO_NO_XMIT).  It is
+        legal to call netio_get_buffer() without one of the XMIT flags,
+        as long as ::NETIO_RECV is specified; in this case, the retrieved
+        buffers must be passed to another tile for transmission.
+
+      - Whether the application expects any vendor-specific tags in
+        its packets' L2 headers (::NETIO_TAG_NONE, ::NETIO_TAG_BRCM,
+        or ::NETIO_TAG_MRVL).  This must match the configuration of the
+        target IPP.
+
+      To accommodate applications written to previous versions of the NetIO
+      interface, none of the flags above are currently required; if omitted,
+      NetIO behaves more or less as if ::NETIO_RECV | ::NETIO_XMIT_CSUM |
+      ::NETIO_TAG_NONE were used.  However, explicit specification of
+      the relevant flags allows NetIO to do a better job of resource
+      allocation, allows earlier detection of certain configuration errors,
+      and may enable advanced features or higher performance in the future,
+      so their use is strongly recommended.
+
+      Note that specifying ::NETIO_NO_RECV along with ::NETIO_NO_XMIT
+      is a special case, intended primarily for use by programs which
+      retrieve network statistics or do link management operations.
+      When these flags are both specified, the resulting queue may not
+      be used with NetIO routines other than netio_get(), netio_set(),
+      and netio_input_unregister().  See @ref link for more information
+      on link management.
+
+      Other flags are optional; their use is described below.

+

+
+      This array specifies the relative amount of buffering to place

+      indexed by the NUMA node, and the values in the array are
+      proportional to the amount of buffer space to allocate on that
+      node.
+
+      If memory striping is enabled in the Hypervisor, then there is
+      only one logical NUMA node (node 0). In that case, NetIO will by
+      default ignore the suggested buffer node weights, and buffers
+      will be striped across the physical memory controllers. See
+      UG209 System Programmer's Guide for a description of the
+      hypervisor option that controls memory striping.
+
+      If memory striping is disabled, then there are up to four NUMA
+      nodes, corresponding to the four DDRAM controllers in the TILE
+      processor architecture.  See UG100 Tile Processor Architecture
+      Overview for a diagram showing the location of each of the DDRAM
+      controllers relative to the tile array.
+
+      For instance, if memory striping is disabled, the following
+      configuration strucure:
+
+      @code
+      netio_input_config_t config = {
+            .
+            .
+            .

+        .buffer_node_weights = { 1, 0, 1, 0 },
+      },
+      @endcode
+
+      would result in 32 MB of buffers being placed on controller 0, and
+      32 MB on controller 2.  (Since buffers are allocated in units of
+      16 MB, some sets of weights will not be able to be matched exactly.)
+
+      For the weights to be effective, @ref total_buffer_size must be
+      nonzero.  If @ref total_buffer_size is zero, causing the default
+      32 MB of buffer space to be used, then any specified weights will
+      be ignored, and buffers will positioned as they were in previous
+      versions of NetIO:
+
+      - For xgbe/0 and gbe/0, 16 MB of buffers will be placed on controller 1,
+        and the other 16 MB will be placed on controller 2.
+
+      - For xgbe/1 and gbe/1, 16 MB of buffers will be placed on controller 2,
+        and the other 16 MB will be placed on controller 3.
+
+      If @ref total_buffer_size is nonzero, but all weights are zero,
+      then all buffer space will be allocated on Linux NUMA node zero.
+
+      By default, the specified buffer placement is treated as a hint;
+      if sufficient free memory is not available on the specified
+      controllers, the buffers will be allocated elsewhere.  However,
+      if the ::NETIO_STRICT_HOMING flag is specified in @ref flags, then a
+      failure to allocate buffer space exactly as requested will cause the
+      registration operation to fail with an error of ::NETIO_CANNOT_HOME.
+
+      Note that maximal network performance cannot be achieved with
+      only one memory controller.
