drivers/net/tile/: on-chip network drivers for the tile architecture

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.

+ * This structure partially defines a queue of empty buffers which have been
+ * obtained via requests to the IPP.  (The elements of the queue are packet
+ * handles, which are transformed into a full netio_pkt_t when the buffer is
+ * retrieved.)  The queue as a whole is written to by an interrupt handler and
+ * read by non-interrupt code; this data structure is what's touched by the
+ * interrupt handler.  The other parts of the queue state, the read offset and
+ * requested write offset, are kept in user space, not in hypervisor space, so
+ * they are in a separate data structure.
+ *
+ * The read offset (__buffer_read in the user part of the queue structure)
+ * points to the next buffer to be read. When the read offset is equal to the
+ * write offset, the queue is empty; therefore the queue must contain one more
+ * slot than the required maximum queue size.
+ *
+ * The requested write offset (__buffer_requested_write in the user part of
+ * the queue structure) points to the slot which will hold the next buffer we
+ * request from the IPP, once we get around to sending such a request.  When
+ * the requested write offset is equal to the write offset, no requests for
+ * new buffers are outstanding; when the requested write offset is one greater
+ * than the read offset, no more requests may be sent.
+ *
+ * Note that, unlike the packet_queue, the buffer_queue places incoming
+ * buffers at decreasing addresses.  This makes the check for "is it time to
+ * wrap the buffer pointer" cheaper in the assembly code which receives new
+ * buffers, and means that the value which defines the queue size,
+ * __last_buffer, is different than in the packet queue.  Also, the offset
+ * used in the packet_queue is already scaled by the size of a packet; here we
+ * use unscaled slot indices for the offsets.  (These differences are
+ * historical, and in the future it's possible that the packet_queue will look
+ * more like this queue.)

+ * This data structure represents a packet.  The structure is manipulated

+ *
+ * While the contents of a netio_pkt_t are opaque, the structure itself is
+ * portable.  This means that it may be shared between all tiles which have
+ * done a netio_input_register() call for the interface on which the pkt_t
+ * was initially received (via netio_get_packet()) or retrieved (via
+ * netio_get_buffer()).  The contents of a netio_pkt_t can be transmitted to
+ * another tile via shared memory, or via a UDN message, or by other means.
+ * The destination tile may then use the pkt_t as if it had originally been
+ * received locally; it may read or write the packet's data, read its
+ * metadata, free the packet, send the packet, transfer the netio_pkt_t to
+ * yet another tile, and so forth.
+ *
+ * Once a netio_pkt_t has been transferred to a second tile, the first tile
+ * should not reference the original copy; in particular, if more than one
+ * tile frees or sends the same netio_pkt_t, the IPP's packet free lists will
+ * become corrupted.  Note also that each tile which reads or modifies
+ * packet data must obey the memory coherency rules outlined in @ref input.

+/**
+ * @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:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * // Bad example! Currently equivalent to the above, but don't do this.
+ * netio_input_config_t config = {
+ *    NETIO_RECV | NETIO_XMIT_CSUM | NETIO_TAG_NONE, NETIO_MAX_RECEIVE_PKTS, 0
+ * },
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * since the C99 style requires no changes to the code if elements of the
+ * config structure are rearranged.  (It also makes the initialization much
+ * easier to understand.)
+ *
+ * Except for items which address a particular tile's transmit or receive
+ * characteristics, such as the ::NETIO_RECV flag, applications are advised
+ * to specify the same set of configuration data on all registrations.
+ * This prevents differing results if multiple tiles happen to do their
+ * registration operations in a different order on different invocations of
+ * the application.  This is particularly important for things like link
+ * management flags, and buffer size and homing specifications.
+ *
+ * Unless the ::NETIO_FIXED_BUFFER_VA flag is specified in flags, the NetIO
+ * buffer pool is automatically created and mapped into the application's
+ * virtual address space at an address chosen by the operating system,
+ * using the common memory (cmem) facility in the Tilera Multicore
+ * Components library.  The cmem facility allows multiple processes to gain
+ * access to shared memory which is mapped into each process at an
+ * identical virtual address.  In order for this to work, the processes
+ * must have a common ancestor, which must create the common memory using
+ * tmc_cmem_init().
+ *
+ * In programs using the iLib process creation API, or in programs which use
+ * only one process (which include programs using the pthreads library),
+ * tmc_cmem_init() is called automatically.  All other applications
+ * must call it explicitly, before any child processes which might call
+ * netio_input_register() are created.
+ */
+typedef struct
+{
+  /** 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.

+
+      If memory striping is enabled in the Hypervisor, then there is

+
+      If memory striping is disabled, then there are up to four NUMA

+      Overview for a diagram showing the location of each of the DDRAM

+        .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.

+ *
+ * Then, "ifconfig DEVICE up" calls "tile_net_open()", which analyzes
+ * the network cpus, then uses "tile_net_open_aux()" to initialize
+ * LIPP/LEPP, and then uses "tile_net_open_inner()" to register all
+ * the tiles, provide buffers to LIPP, allow ingress to start, and
+ * turn on hypervisor interrupt handling (and NAPI) on all tiles.
+ *
+ * If registration fails due to the link being down, then "retry_work"
+ * is used to keep calling "tile_net_open_inner()" until it succeeds.
+ *
+ * If "ifconfig DEVICE down" is called, it uses "tile_net_stop()" to
+ * stop egress, drain the LIPP buffers, unregister all the tiles, stop
+ * LIPP/LEPP, and wipe the LEPP queue.
+ *
+ * We start out with the ingress interrupt enabled on each CPU.  When
+ * this interrupt fires, we disable it, and call "napi_schedule()".
+ * This will cause "tile_net_poll()" to be called, which will pull
+ * packets from the netio queue, filtering them out, or passing them
+ * to "netif_receive_skb()".  If our budget is exhausted, we will
+ * return, knowing we will be called again later.  Otherwise, we
+ * reenable the ingress interrupt, and call "napi_complete()".
+ *
+ *
+ * NOTE: The use of "native_driver" ensures that EPP exists, and that
+ * "epp_sendv" is legal, and that "LIPP" is being used.
+ *
+ * NOTE: Failing to free completions for an arbitrarily long time
+ * (which is defined to be illegal) does in fact cause bizarre
+ * problems.  The "egress_timer" helps prevent this from happening.
