It has CF, Cardbus, serial, and LAN x2. This is one of the very few SH boards that a general person can obtain now. The L-BOX shipped with a 2.4.28 kernel, this is a rewritten patch adding it to current git. Signed-off-by: Nobuhiro Iwamatsu <iwamatsu@nigauri.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per int. The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion. The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call. wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers. It also has one check for a wait failure instead of two. The caller is expected to do the initial continue of the stub. This gets rid of an argument and some logic. The fname argument is gone, as that can be had from a stack trace. user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or two lines of code afterwards. The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused. flush_tlb_page is inlined.

So, we go straight to the pte we want, figure out what needs doing, and do it. While I was in here, I fixed the wart where the address passed to unmap was a void *, but an unsigned long to map and protect. This gives me just under 10% on a kernel build.

This provides an opportunity to reduce latency by starting one request before the previous one has been finished in the driver. Request handling is somewhat modernized by requesting sg pieces of a request and handling them separately, finishing off the entire request after all the pieces are done. When a request queue stalls, normally because its pipe to the I/O thread is full, it is put on the restart list. This list is processed by starting up the queues on it whenever there is some indication that progress might be possible again. Currently, this happens in the driver interrupt routine. Some requests have been finished, so there is likely to be room in the pipe again. This almost doubles throughput when copying data between devices, but made no noticable difference on anything else I tried.

This stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on the host. If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will return -EFAULT. To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of a byte to each page. This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel. In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical address, which would be valid. Here, it appears that this code, on every host read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page. This doesn't seem to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact. This patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel build. This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log in. Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on this somehow. However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using kernel addresses to using plain read() and write(). This patch introduces os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them. These include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or kmalloc-ed. Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a mass conversion back to the original interface.

The architecture sigcontext-to-pt_regs copying code was repurposed to copy data out of the SEGV stack frame.
