9e1b32caa5 mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

04e448d9a3 vmlinux.lds.h: restructure BSS linker script macros
The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss
input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end].  On all
architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and
__bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is
within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end].  Relatedly, the example
code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined
twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the
BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro.

Another problem with the current macros is that several
architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before
__bss_stop in their linker scripts.  The BSS_SECTION macro currently
hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument.  It also
ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that.

mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by
this patch.  It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted
to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was
a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start
alignment).  So fix this as well.

I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one.  Also CCing Paul, since
he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use
BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

b01e8dc343 alpha: fix percpu build breakage
alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation.  This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference.  This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.

This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration.  Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.

This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules.  This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

2a2325e6e8 gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment
The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.

Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned.  However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code.  When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps.  So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.

Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390:

39a449d96a asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: shuffle INIT_TASK* macro names in vmlinux.lds.h
We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h,
but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which
is quite confusing.  We should switch the macro in the linker script to
INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch).  Since
the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in
vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.

However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire
.data.init_task section.  So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION.

I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the
old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had
tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass
the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

73f1d9391a asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: Fix up RW_DATA_SECTION definition.
RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters,
while NOSAVE_DATA currently uses a fixed PAGE_SIZE alignment as noted
in the comments.

There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just
stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new
architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

804387a1af asm-generic: drop HARDIRQ_BITS definition from hardirq.h
Architechtures normally don't need to set a HARDIRQ_BITS
unless they have hardcoded a specific value in assembly.
This drops the definition from asm-generic/hardirq.h, which
results in linux/hardirq.h setting its default of 10.

Both the old default of 8 and the linux/hardirq.h default
of 10 are sufficient because they only limit the number
of nested hardirqs, and we normally run out of stack space
much earlier than exceeding 256 or even 1024 nested interrupts.

expands to the same C code (i.e. always specify the first field -- access

could feasibly be checked.

c147d8ea3e dma-mapping: add asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h
We unified x86 and IA64's handling of multiple dma mapping operations
(struct dma_map_ops in linux/dma-mapping.h) so we can remove duplication
in their arch/include/asm/dma-mapping.h.

This patchset adds include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h that provides
some generic dma mapping function definitions for the users of struct
dma_map_ops.  This enables us to remove about 100 lines.  This also
enables us to easily add CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support, which only x86
supports for now.  The 4th patch adds CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support to IA64
by adding only 8 lines.

This patch:

This header file provides some mapping function definitions that the users
of struct dma_map_ops can use.

e4c9dd0fba kmap_types: make most arches use generic header file
Convert most arches to use asm-generic/kmap_types.h.

Move the KM_FENCE_ macro additions into asm-generic/kmap_types.h,
controlled by __WITH_KM_FENCE from each arch's kmap_types.h file.

Would be nice to be able to add custom KM_types per arch, but I don't yet
see a nice, clean way to do that.

Built on x86_64, i386, mips, sparc, alpha(tonyb), powerpc(tonyb), and
68k(tonyb).

Note: avr32 should be able to remove KM_PTE2 (since it's not used) and
then just use the generic kmap_types.h file.  Get avr32 maintainer
approval.

09d4e0edd4 lib: Provide generic atomic64_t implementation
Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but
we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem.

This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed
spinlocks to provide atomicity.  For each atomic operation, the address
of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16
spinlocks.  That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the
operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock.

On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable
interrupts around each operation.  In fact gcc eliminates the whole
atomic64_lock variable as well.
