• 46a82b2d5   [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros ... Browse Code »

  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.

• 08964c565   [PATCH] uml: merge duplicated page table code ... Browse Code »

  There is a lot of code which is duplicated between the 2 and 3 level
  implementation, with the only difference that the 3-level implementation is a
  bit more generalized (instead of accessing directly pte_t.pte, it uses the
  appropriate access macros).

  So this code is joined together.

  As obvious, a "core code nice cleanup" is not a "stability-friendly patch" so
  usual care applies.

  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!
