Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base

Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.

It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:

commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date:   Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200

    Prepare v4.1.3-rt3

    Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

+ * Vineetg: March 2009 (Supporting 2 levels of Interrupts)
+ *  Stack switching code can no longer reliably rely on the fact that
+ *  if we are NOT in user mode, stack is switched to kernel mode.
+ *  e.g. L2 IRQ interrupted a L1 ISR which had not yet completed
+ *  it's prologue including stack switching from user mode
+ *
+ * Vineetg: Aug 28th 2008: Bug #94984
+ *  -Zero Overhead Loop Context shd be cleared when entering IRQ/EXcp/Trap
+ *   Normally CPU does this automatically, however when doing FAKE rtie,
+ *   we also need to explicitly do this. The problem in macros
+ *   FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN and FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN_LOCK_IRQ was that this bit
+ *   was being "CLEARED" rather then "SET". Actually "SET" clears ZOL context
+ *
+ * Vineetg: May 5th 2008
+ *  -Modified CALLEE_REG save/restore macros to handle the fact that
+ *      r25 contains the kernel current task ptr
+ *  - Defined Stack Switching Macro to be reused in all intr/excp hdlrs
+ *  - Shaved off 11 instructions from RESTORE_ALL_INT1 by using the
+ *      address Write back load ld.ab instead of seperate ld/add instn

+ *
+ * Linux assigns each task a unique ASID. A simple round-robin allocation
+ * of H/w ASID is done using software tracker @asid_cpu.
+ * When it reaches max 255, the allocation cycle starts afresh by flushing
+ * the entire TLB and wrapping ASID back to zero.
+ *
+ * A new allocation cycle, post rollover, could potentially reassign an ASID
+ * to a different task. Thus the rule is to refresh the ASID in a new cycle.
+ * The 32 bit @asid_cpu (and mm->asid) have 8 bits MMU PID and rest 24 bits
+ * serve as cycle/generation indicator and natural 32 bit unsigned math
+ * automagically increments the generation when lower 8 bits rollover.

+ *  -Zero Overhead Loop Context shd be cleared when entering IRQ/EXcp/Trap
+ *   Normally CPU does this automatically, however when doing FAKE rtie,
+ *   we need to explicitly do this. The problem in macros
+ *   FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN and FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN_LOCK_IRQ was that this bit
+ *   was being "CLEARED" rather then "SET". Since it is Loop INHIBIT Bit,
+ *   setting it and not clearing it clears ZOL context
+ *
+ * Vineetg: May 16th, 2008
+ *  - r25 now contains the Current Task when in kernel
+ *
+ * Vineetg: Dec 22, 2007
+ *    Minor Surgery of Low Level ISR to make it SMP safe
+ *    - MMU_SCRATCH0 Reg used for freeing up r9 in Level 1 ISR
+ *    - _current_task is made an array of NR_CPUS
+ *    - Access of _current_task wrapped inside a macro so that if hardware
+ *       team agrees for a dedicated reg, no other code is touched

+ *  -do_signal() no loner needs oldset, required by OLD sys_sigsuspend

+ *  vineetg: May 2011: for Non-aliasing VIPT D-cache following can be NOPs
+ *   -flush_cache_dup_mm (fork)
+ *   -likewise for flush_cache_mm (exit/execve)
+ *   -likewise for flush_cache_range,flush_cache_page (munmap, exit, COW-break)
+ *
+ * vineetg: Apr 2011
+ *  -Now that MMU can support larger pg sz (16K), the determiniation of
+ *   aliasing shd not be based on assumption of 8k pg
+ *
+ * vineetg: Mar 2011
+ *  -optimised version of flush_icache_range( ) for making I/D coherent
+ *   when vaddr is available (agnostic of num of aliases)
+ *
+ * vineetg: Mar 2011
+ *  -Added documentation about I-cache aliasing on ARC700 and the way it
+ *   was handled up until MMU V2.
+ *  -Spotted a three year old bug when killing the 4 aliases, which needs
+ *   bottom 2 bits, so we need to do paddr | {0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03}
+ *                        instead of paddr | {0x00, 0x01, 0x10, 0x11}
+ *   (Rajesh you owe me one now)
+ *
+ * vineetg: Dec 2010
+ *  -Off-by-one error when computing num_of_lines to flush
+ *   This broke signal handling with bionic which uses synthetic sigret stub
+ *
+ * vineetg: Mar 2010
+ *  -GCC can't generate ZOL for core cache flush loops.
+ *   Conv them into iterations based as opposed to while (start < end) types
+ *
+ * Vineetg: July 2009
+ *  -In I-cache flush routine we used to chk for aliasing for every line INV.
+ *   Instead now we setup routines per cache geometry and invoke them
+ *   via function pointers.
+ *
+ * Vineetg: Jan 2009
+ *  -Cache Line flush routines used to flush an extra line beyond end addr
+ *   because check was while (end >= start) instead of (end > start)
+ *     =Some call sites had to work around by doing -1, -4 etc to end param
+ *     =Some callers didnt care. This was spec bad in case of INV routines
+ *      which would discard valid data (cause of the horrible ext2 bug
+ *      in ARC IDE driver)
+ *
+ * vineetg: June 11th 2008: Fixed flush_icache_range( )
+ *  -Since ARC700 caches are not coherent (I$ doesnt snoop D$) both need
+ *   to be flushed, which it was not doing.
+ *  -load_module( ) passes vmalloc addr (Kernel Virtual Addr) to the API,
+ *   however ARC cache maintenance OPs require PHY addr. Thus need to do
+ *   vmalloc_to_phy.
+ *  -Also added optimisation there, that for range > PAGE SIZE we flush the
+ *   entire cache in one shot rather than line by line. For e.g. a module
+ *   with Code sz 600k, old code flushed 600k worth of cache (line-by-line),
+ *   while cache is only 16 or 32k.

+ *		I-Cache Aliasing in ARC700 VIPT caches
+ *
+ * ARC VIPT I-cache uses vaddr to index into cache and paddr to match the tag.
+ * The orig Cache Management Module "CDU" only required paddr to invalidate a
+ * certain line since it sufficed as index in Non-Aliasing VIPT cache-geometry.
+ * Infact for distinct V1,V2,P: all of {V1-P},{V2-P},{P-P} would end up fetching
+ * the exact same line.
+ *
+ * However for larger Caches (way-size > page-size) - i.e. in Aliasing config,
+ * paddr alone could not be used to correctly index the cache.
+ *
+ * ------------------
+ * MMU v1/v2 (Fixed Page Size 8k)
+ * ------------------
+ * The solution was to provide CDU with these additonal vaddr bits. These
+ * would be bits [x:13], x would depend on cache-geometry, 13 comes from
+ * standard page size of 8k.
+ * H/w folks chose [17:13] to be a future safe range, and moreso these 5 bits
+ * of vaddr could easily be "stuffed" in the paddr as bits [4:0] since the
+ * orig 5 bits of paddr were anyways ignored by CDU line ops, as they
+ * represent the offset within cache-line. The adv of using this "clumsy"
+ * interface for additional info was no new reg was needed in CDU programming
+ * model.
+ *
+ * 17:13 represented the max num of bits passable, actual bits needed were
+ * fewer, based on the num-of-aliases possible.
+ * -for 2 alias possibility, only bit 13 needed (32K cache)
+ * -for 4 alias possibility, bits 14:13 needed (64K cache)
+ *
+ * ------------------
+ * MMU v3
+ * ------------------
+ * This ver of MMU supports variable page sizes (1k-16k): although Linux will
+ * only support 8k (default), 16k and 4k.
+ * However from hardware perspective, smaller page sizes aggrevate aliasing
+ * meaning more vaddr bits needed to disambiguate the cache-line-op ;
+ * the existing scheme of piggybacking won't work for certain configurations.
+ * Two new registers IC_PTAG and DC_PTAG inttoduced.
+ * "tag" bits are provided in PTAG, index bits in existing IVIL/IVDL/FLDL regs

+/*			Need for ARC MMU v2
+ *
+ * ARC700 MMU-v1 had a Joint-TLB for Code and Data and is 2 way set-assoc.
+ * For a memcpy operation with 3 players (src/dst/code) such that all 3 pages
+ * map into same set, there would be contention for the 2 ways causing severe
+ * Thrashing.
+ *
+ * Although J-TLB is 2 way set assoc, ARC700 caches J-TLB into uTLBS which has
+ * much higher associativity. u-D-TLB is 8 ways, u-I-TLB is 4 ways.
+ * Given this, the thrasing problem should never happen because once the 3
+ * J-TLB entries are created (even though 3rd will knock out one of the prev
+ * two), the u-D-TLB and u-I-TLB will have what is required to accomplish memcpy
+ *
+ * Yet we still see the Thrashing because a J-TLB Write cause flush of u-TLBs.
+ * This is a simple design for keeping them in sync. So what do we do?
+ * The solution which James came up was pretty neat. It utilised the assoc
+ * of uTLBs by not invalidating always but only when absolutely necessary.
+ *
+ * - Existing TLB commands work as before
+ * - New command (TLBWriteNI) for TLB write without clearing uTLBs
+ * - New command (TLBIVUTLB) to invalidate uTLBs.
+ *
+ * The uTLBs need only be invalidated when pages are being removed from the
+ * OS page table. If a 'victim' TLB entry is being overwritten in the main TLB
+ * as a result of a miss, the removed entry is still allowed to exist in the
+ * uTLBs as it is still valid and present in the OS page table. This allows the
+ * full associativity of the uTLBs to hide the limited associativity of the main
+ * TLB.
+ *
+ * During a miss handler, the new "TLBWriteNI" command is used to load
+ * entries without clearing the uTLBs.
+ *
+ * When the OS page table is updated, TLB entries that may be associated with a
+ * removed page are removed (flushed) from the TLB using TLBWrite. In this
+ * circumstance, the uTLBs must also be cleared. This is done by using the
+ * existing TLBWrite command. An explicit IVUTLB is also required for those
+ * corner cases when TLBWrite was not executed at all because the corresp
+ * J-TLB entry got evicted/replaced.

+; ARC700 Exception Handling doesn't auto-switch stack and it only provides
+; ONE scratch AUX reg "ARC_REG_SCRATCH_DATA0"
+;
+; For Non-SMP, the scratch AUX reg is repurposed to cache task PGD, so a
+; "global" is used to free-up FIRST core reg to be able to code the rest of
+; exception prologue (IRQ auto-disabled on Exceptions, so it's IRQ-safe).
+; Since the Fast Path TLB Miss handler is coded with 4 regs, the remaining 3
+; need to be saved as well by extending the "global" to be 4 words. Hence
+;	".size   ex_saved_reg1, 16"
+; [All of this dance is to avoid stack switching for each TLB Miss, since we
+; only need to save only a handful of regs, as opposed to complete reg file]
+;
+; For ARC700 SMP, the "global" obviously can't be used for free up the FIRST
+; core reg as it will not be SMP safe.
+; Thus scratch AUX reg is used (and no longer used to cache task PGD).
+; To save the rest of 3 regs - per cpu, the global is made "per-cpu".
+; Epilogue thus has to locate the "per-cpu" storage for regs.
+; To avoid cache line bouncing the per-cpu global is aligned/sized per
+; L1_CACHE_SHIFT, despite fundamentally needing to be 12 bytes only. Hence
