c728252c7a [PATCH] x86/x86_64: mark rodata section read only: generic x86-64 bugfix
Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64:

when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb
pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider
the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms.  This is
fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last
part of the kernel .text!  The fix is to not invent a new permission for the
new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

f6c2e3330d [PATCH] x86_64: Unmap NULL during early bootup
We should zap the low mappings, as soon as possible, so that we can catch
kernel bugs more effectively. Previously early boot had NULL mapped
and didn't trap on NULL references.

This patch introduces boot_level4_pgt, which will always have low identity
addresses mapped.  Druing boot, all the processors will use this as their
level4 pgt.  On BP, we will switch to init_level4_pgt as soon as we enter C
code and zap the low mappings as soon as we are done with the usage of
identity low mapped addresses.  On AP's we will zap the low mappings as
soon as we jump to C code.

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

61e06037e7 [PATCH] x86_64: avoid some atomic operations during address space destruction
Any architecture that has hardware updated A/D bits that require
synchronization against other processors during PTE operations can benefit
from doing non-atomic PTE updates during address space destruction.
Originally done on i386, now ported to x86_64.

Doing a read/write pair instead of an xchg() operation saves the implicit
lock, which turns out to be a big win on 32-bit (esp w PAE).

This patch adds a macro pte_huge(pte) for i386/x86_64 which is needed by a
patch later in the series.  Instead of repeating (_PAGE_PRESENT |
_PAGE_PSE), I've added __LARGE_PTE to i386 to match x86_64.

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()??

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!
