Adding __initdata_* to asm-generic/sections.h
Replaces a lot of open coded externs in arch/x86_64/*
I had to change __bss_end to __bss_stop to match the other architectures.

Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel. RIO is a switched fabric interconnect
used in higher-end embedded applications. The curious can look at the specs
over at http://www.rapidio.org
The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of
devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers.
There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features.
However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start
contributing.

It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only
calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed,
pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line. Though it does
add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling
__pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line. Mark none of them
as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not.
It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset
calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common
case. At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map.
Macros rather than inline functions, certainly to avoid the header file issues
which arise from CONFIG_HIGHPTE needing kmap_types.h, but also in case any
architectures I haven't built would have other such problems.

zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then
tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss. That got stranger when I
added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and
anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros. And it would no
longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the
mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock.
Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own
business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was
some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that). And
forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative
- if rss does go negative, just fix that bug.
Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use
was being made of them. But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the
way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush. arm26 seems to prefer
spaces to tabs here: respect that.

tlb_is_full_mm? What does that mean? The TLB is full? No, it means that the
mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down. And it's an
inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
"tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".
And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64. Rather than
correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change
sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses
smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather. That works
because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not
dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu. But don't rely on that, it
will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in
tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Move the ZERO_PAGE remapping complexity to the move_pte macro in
asm-generic, have it conditionally depend on
__HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, which gets defined for MIPS.
For architectures without __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, move_pte becomes
a noop.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Fix nasty little bug we've missed in Nick's mremap move ZERO_PAGE patch.
The "pte" at that point may be a swap entry or a pte_file entry: we must
check pte_present before perhaps corrupting such an entry.
Patch below against 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, but the same bug is in 2.6.14-rc2's
mm/mremap.c, and more dangerous there since it's affecting all arches: I
think the safest course is to send Nick's patch and Yoichi's build fix and
this fix (build tested) on to Linus - so only MIPS can be affected.

The generic TLB flush functions kept upto 506 pages per
CPU to avoid too frequent IPIs.
This value was done for the L1 cache of older x86 CPUs,
but with modern CPUs it does not make much sense anymore.
TLB flushing is slow enough that using the L2 cache is fine.
This patch increases the flush array on x86-64 to cache
5350 pages. That is roughly 20MB with 4K pages. It speeds
up large munmaps in multithreaded processes on SMP considerably.
The cost is roughly 42k of memory per CPU, which is reasonable.
I only increased it on x86-64 for now, but it would probably
make sense to increase it everywhere. Embedded architectures
with SMP may keep it smaller to save some memory per CPU.

Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This
may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess
what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it
should be correct anyway adding it.
On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to
asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section,
used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to
that.
In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour
after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This
may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults.
However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at
least for the sake of cleanness.

There were three changes necessary in order to allow
sparc64 to use setup-res.c:
1) Sparc64 roots the PCI I/O and MEM address space using
parent resources contained in the PCI controller structure.
I'm actually surprised no other platforms do this, especially
ones like Alpha and PPC{,64}. These resources get linked into the
iomem/ioport tree when PCI controllers are probed.
So the hierarchy looks like this:
iomem --|
PCI controller 1 MEM space --|
device 1
device 2
etc.
PCI controller 2 MEM space --|
...
ioport --|
PCI controller 1 IO space --|
...
PCI controller 2 IO space --|
...
You get the idea. The drivers/pci/setup-res.c code allocates
using plain iomem_space and ioport_space as the root, so that
wouldn't work with the above setup.
So I added a pcibios_select_root() that is used to handle this.
It uses the PCI controller struct's io_space and mem_space on
sparc64, and io{port,mem}_resource on every other platform to
keep current behavior.
2) quirk_io_region() is buggy. It takes in raw BUS view addresses
and tries to use them as a PCI resource.
pci_claim_resource() expects the resource to be fully formed when
it gets called. The sparc64 implementation would do the translation
but that's absolutely wrong, because if the same resource gets
released then re-claimed we'll adjust things twice.
So I fixed up quirk_io_region() to do the proper pcibios_bus_to_resource()
conversion before passing it on to pci_claim_resource().
3) I was mistakedly __init'ing the function methods the PCI controller
drivers provide on sparc64 to implement some parts of these
routines. This was, of course, easy to fix.
So we end up with the following, and that nasty SPARC64 makefile
ifdef in drivers/pci/Makefile is finally zapped.

There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe
on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This
patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.
I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
.kprobes.text.
Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
.kprobes.text section.
These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also
compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

Several reports on inconsistent kallsyms data has been caused by the aliased symbols
__sched_text_start and __down to shift places in the output of nm.
The root cause was that on second pass ld aligned __sched_text_start to a 4 byte boundary
which is the function alignment on i386.
sched.text and spinlock.text is now aligned to an 8 byte boundary to make sure they
are aligned to a function alignemnt on most (all?) archs.

Add a new accessor for PTEs, which passes the full hint from the mmu_gather
struct; this allows architectures with hardware pagetables to optimize away
atomic PTE operations when destroying an address space. Removing the
locked operation should allow better pipelining of memory access in this
loop. I measured an average savings of 30-35 cycles per zap_pte_range on
the first 500 destructions on Pentium-M, but I believe the optimization
would win more on older processors which still assert the bus lock on xchg
for an exclusive cacheline.
Update: I made some new measurements, and this saves exactly 26 cycles over
ptep_get_and_clear on Pentium M. On P4, with a PAE kernel, this saves 180
cycles per ptep_get_and_clear, for a whopping 92160 cycles savings for a
full address space destruction.
pte_clear_full is not yet used, but is provided for future optimizations
(in particular, when running inside of a hypervisor that queues page table
updates, the full hint allows us to avoid queueing unnecessary page table
update for an address space in the process of being destroyed.
This is not a huge win, but it does help a bit, and sets the stage for
further hypervisor optimization of the mm layer on all architectures.

In yenta_socket, we default to using the resource setting of the CardBus
bridge. However, this is a PCI-bus-centric view of resources and thus needs
to be converted to generic resources first. Therefore, add a call to
pcibios_bus_to_resource() call in between. This function is a mere wrapper on
x86 and friends, however on some others it already exists, is added in this
patch (alpha, arm, ppc, ppc64) or still needs to be provided (parisc -- where

When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly
kernel_restart is the function to use. But in many instances
the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working
very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler.
This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that
callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling
restart. emergency_restart() is expected to be callable
from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more
trying circumstances.
This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures.

Define pcibus_to_node to be able to figure out which NUMA node contains a
given PCI device. This defines pcibus_to_node(bus) in
include/linux/topology.h and adjusts the macros for i386 and x86_64 that
already provided a way to determine the cpumask of a pci device.
x86_64 was changed to not build an array of cpumasks anymore. Instead an
array of nodes is build which can be used to generate the cpumask via
node_to_cpumask.

It's common practice to msync a large address range regularly, in which
often only a few ptes have actually been dirtied since the previous pass.
sync_pte_range then goes much faster if it tests whether pte is dirty
before locating and accessing each struct page cacheline; and it is hardly
slowed by ptep_clear_flush_dirty repeating that test in the opposite case,
when every pte actually is dirty.
But beware, s390's pte_dirty always says false, since its dirty bit is kept
in the storage key, located via the struct page address. So skip this
optimization in its case: use a pte_maybe_dirty macro which just says true
if page_test_and_clear_dirty is implemented.

The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.
This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the

New file - asm-generic/signal.h. Contains declarations of
__sighandler_t, __sigrestore_t, SIG_DFL, SIG_IGN, SIG_ERR and default
definitions of SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK and SIG_SETMASK.
asm-*/signal.h switched to including it. The only exception is
asm-parisc/signal.h that wants its own declaration of __sighandler_t;
that one is left as-is.
asm-ppc64/signal.h required one more thing - unlike everybody else it
used __sigrestorer_t instead of usual __sigrestore_t. PPC64 switched to
common spelling.

Discussing with Matthew Wilcox some of his outstanding patches lead me to
this patch (among others).
The preamble in struct sigevent can be expressed independently of the
architecture.
Also use __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE on ia64.

Add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE to all architectures. This is to
support the upcoming patches for robust mutexes.
We normally don't reserve parts of the name/number space for external
patches, but robust mutexes are sufficiently popular and important to
justify it in this case.

This patch eliminates all kernel BUGs, trims about 35k off the typical
kernel, and makes the system slightly faster.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt
priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by
Chris Wright.
The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities
a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by
default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of
100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is
blanket permission.

Turns __get_unaligned() and __put_unaligned into macros. That is
definitely safe; leaving them as inlines breaks on e.g. alpha [try to
build ncpfs there and you'll get unresolved symbols since we end up
getting __get_unaligned() not inlined].

ia64 and sparc64 hurriedly had to introduce their own variants of
pgd_addr_end, to leapfrog over the holes in their virtual address spaces which
the final clear_page_range suddenly presented when converted from pgd_index to
pgd_addr_end. But now that free_pgtables respects the vma list, those holes
are never presented, and the arch variants can go.

In the new io infrastructure, all of our operators are expecting the
underlying device to be little endian (because the PCI bus, their main
consumer, is LE).
However, there are a fair few devices and busses in the world that are
actually Big Endian. There's even evidence that some of these BE bus and
chip types are attached to LE systems. Thus, there's a need for a BE
equivalent of our io{read,write}{16,32} operations.
The attached patch adds this as io{read,write}{16,32}be. When it's in,
I'll add the first consume (the 53c700 SCSI chip driver).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
