2015-05-11	tile: support delivering NMIs for multicore backtrace	Chris Metcalf
	A new hypervisor service was added some time ago (MDE 4.2.1 or later, or MDE 4.3 or later) that allows cores to request NMIs to be delivered to other cores. Use this facility to deliver a request that causes a backtrace to be generated on each core, and hook it into the magic SysRq functionality. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>
2013-08-13	tile: provide traceability for hypervisor calls	Chris Metcalf
	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. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
