* 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (36 commits)
x86, mm: Correct the implementation of is_untracked_pat_range()
x86/pat: Trivial: don't create debugfs for memtype if pat is disabled
x86, mtrr: Fix sorting of mtrr after subtracting
x86: Move find_smp_config() earlier and avoid bootmem usage
x86, platform: Change is_untracked_pat_range() to bool; cleanup init
x86: Change is_ISA_range() into an inline function
x86, mm: is_untracked_pat_range() takes a normal semiclosed range
x86, mm: Call is_untracked_pat_range() rather than is_ISA_range()
x86: UV SGI: Don't track GRU space in PAT
x86: SGI UV: Fix BAU initialization
x86, numa: Use near(er) online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA
x86, numa, bootmem: Only free bootmem on NUMA failure path
x86: Change crash kernel to reserve via reserve_early()
x86: Eliminate redundant/contradicting cache line size config options
x86: When cleaning MTRRs, do not fold WP into UC
x86: remove "extern" from function prototypes in <asm/proto.h>
x86, mm: Report state of NX protections during boot
x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement
x86, pageattr: Make set_memory_(x|nx) aware of NX support
x86, sleep: Always save the value of EFER
...
Fix up conflicts (added both iommu_shutdown and is_untracked_pat_range)
to 'struct x86_platform_ops') in
arch/x86/include/asm/x86_init.h
arch/x86/kernel/x86_init.c

Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the
kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to
the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table
attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for
the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time.
We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only
after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only.

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this.
The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

Change reserve_ram_pages_type and free_ram_pages_type to use 2 page
flags to track UC_MINUS, WC, WB and default types. Previous RAM tracking
just tracked WB or NonWB, which was not complete and did not allow
tracking of RAM fully and there was no way to get the actual type
reserved by looking at the page flags.
We use the memtype_lock spinlock for atomicity in dealing with
memtype tracking in struct page.

Impact: keep kernel text read only
Because dynamic ftrace converts the calls to mcount into and out of
nops at run time, we needed to always keep the kernel text writable.
But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts
the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts
it back to read only afterward.
The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to
modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only.
The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK
or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that
using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what
its state will actually be.
Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions
themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is
OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.
[ Update: Ingo Molnar suggested moving the prototypes to cacheflush.h ]

Add new interfaces:
set_pages_array_uc()
set_pages_array_wb()
that can be used change the page attribute for a bunch of pages with
flush etc done once at the end of all the changes. These interfaces
are similar to existing set_memory_array_uc() and set_memory_array_wc().

Impact: cleanup
Unused macro parameters cause spurious unused variable warnings.
Convert all cacheflush macros to inline functions to avoid the
warnings and achieve better type checking.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
