3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c539914dcd9a68c63305e055b14115a6a19578a8 upstream.
The Tilera hypervisor shipped in releases up through MDE 4.1 launches
the client operating system (i.e. Linux) at privilege level 1 (PL1).
Starting with MDE 4.2, as part of the work to enable KVM, the
Tilera hypervisor launches Linux at PL2 instead.
This commit makes the KERNEL_PL option default to 2 for tilegx, while
still saying at 1 for tilepro, which doesn't have an updated hypervisor.
It also explains how and when you might want to choose another value.
In addition, we change a small buglet in the on-chip Ethernet driver,
where we were failing to use the KERNEL_PL constant in an API call.
To make the transition cleaner, this change also provides the updated
hv_init() API for the new hypervisor that supports announcing Linux's
compiled-in PL, so the hypervisor can generate a suitable error in the
case of a mismatched hypervisor and Linux binary.

- This setting determines the processor protection level the
- kernel will be built to run at. Generally you should use
- the default value here.
+ Since MDE 4.2, the Tilera hypervisor runs the kernel
+ at PL2 by default. If running under an older hypervisor,
+ or as a KVM guest, you must run at PL1. (The current
+ hypervisor may also be recompiled with "make HV_PL=2" to
+ allow it to run a kernel at PL1, but clients running at PL1
+ are not expected to be supported indefinitely.)
+
+ If you're not sure, don't change the default.
