46a82b2d55 [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.

Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.

Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

32e62c636a [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing
This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:

  - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
    they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
    on the Intel Tiger box.

  - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
    /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
    access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
    boxes in the default configuration.

There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.

Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
map doesn't mention the region.

3915bcf38f [PATCH] hugepage: Move hugetlb_free_pgd_range() prototype to hugetlb.h
The optional hugepage callback, hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is presently
implemented non-trivially only on ia64 (but I plan to add one for powerpc
shortly).  It has its own prototype for the function in asm-ia64/pgtable.h.
 However, since the function is called from generic code, it make sense for
its prototype to be in the generic hugetlb.h header file, as the protypes
other arch callbacks already are (prepare_hugepage_range(),
set_huge_pte_at(), etc.).  This patch makes it so.

8f860591ff [PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages
2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb
mprotect.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

  Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed
  range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of
  is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/).

  In fact, we don't need this test.  If the given addresses match the
  beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned.  If
  they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA.  The very
  first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a
  hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary.

From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>

  On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE.  The
  identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect.
  A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc().

  The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up
  legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.

837cd0bdf5 [IA64] 4-level page tables
This patch introduces 4-level page tables to ia64.  I have run
some benchmarks and found nothing interesting.  Performance has
consistently fallen within the noise range.

It also introduces a config option (setting the default to 3
levels).  The config option prevents having 4 level page
tables with 64k base page size.

1426d7a81d [PATCH] vm: remove unused/broken page_pte[_prot] macros
This patch removes page_pte_prot and page_pte macros from all
architectures.  Some architectures define both, some only page_pte (broken)
and others none.  These macros are not used anywhere.

page_pte_prot(page, prot) is identical to mk_pte(page, prot) and
page_pte(page) is identical to page_pte_prot(page, __pgprot(0)).

* The following architectures define both page_pte_prot and page_pte

  arm, arm26, ia64, sh64, sparc, sparc64

* The following architectures define only page_pte (broken)

  frv, i386, m32r, mips, sh, x86-64

* All other architectures define neither

0a41e25011 [IA64] Rationalise Region Definitions
Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several 
names.  For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and 
RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h 
 
We also have address definitions that should depend on the 
RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. 
 
The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have 
the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that 
depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. 

(This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like 
operation on IA64). 

Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

63551ae0fe [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation
A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.

Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

Notes:
	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
	  analagous to set_pte()
	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

8f6c99c11a [PATCH] freepgt: remove arch pgd_addr_end
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.

3bf5ee9564 [PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_range
ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being
called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.

The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere
and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
motions of freeing nothing.  Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to
ppc64 the special case of skipping them.

The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it
probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another
region into the hugetlb region.

In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in
the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page
at the bottom is larger.  Here we need to scale down each addr before passing
it to the standard free_pgd_range.  Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down
macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose.  Fixed
off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.

Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64.  Make sure the
vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any
other (safe to join huges?  probably but don't bother).

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
