In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs using
the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access device memory
through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem.This patch:
Add the generic_access_phys access function and put the hooks in place
to allow access_process_vm to access device or PPC Cell SPU memory.[riel@redhat.com: Add documentation for the vm_ops->access function]

generic_file_direct_IO is a common helper around the invocation of

It's confusing that set_max_huge_pages() contained two different
variables named "ret", and although the code works correctly this should
be fixed.The inner of the two variables can simply be removed.

The check for node_boot_start is bogus because we start freeing at the

lib/debugobjects.c has a function to test if an object is on the stack.
The block layer and ide needs it (they need to avoid DMA from/to stack
buffers). This patch moves the function to include/linux/sched.h so that
everyone can use it.lib/debugobjects.c uses current->stack but this patch uses a
task_stack_page() accessor, which is a preferable way to access the stack.Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori

There are a number of different views to how much memory is currently active.
There is the arch-independent zone-sizing view, the bootmem allocator and
memory models view.Architectures register this information at different times and is not
necessarily in sync particularly with respect to some SPARSEMEM limitations.This patch introduces mminit_validate_memmodel_limits() which is able to
validate and correct PFN ranges with respect to the memory model. It is only
SPARSEMEM that currently validates itself.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

Print out information on how the page flags are being used if mminit_loglevel
is MMINIT_VERIFY or higher and unconditionally performs sanity checks on the
flags regardless of loglevel.When the page flags are updated with section, node and zone information, a
check are made to ensure the values can be retrieved correctly. Finally we
confirm that pfn_to_page and page_to_pfn are the correct inverse functions.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix printk warnings]

Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of
architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant
amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data
received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in
a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs.This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It
also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be
explicitly disabled for embedded systems.This patch:
Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation.
Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required
additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel=
command-line parameter.The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm
initialisation code will be moved here over time.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

Flag platforms as HAVE_CLK (or not) in Kconfig, based on whether they
support calls, so that otherwise portable drivers which need
those calls can list that dependency.Something like this is a prerequisite for merging the musb_hdrc driver,
currently used on platforms including Davinci, OMAP2430, OMAP3xx ... and
the discrete TUSB6010 chip, which doesn't have a natural platform
dependency. (Used with OMAP 2420 in current Nokia N8x0 tablets.)Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This adds fast paths for 32-bit syscall entry and exit when
TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing.
These paths does not need to save and restore all registers as
the general case of tracing does. Avoiding the iret return path
when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me.
AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were,
it would go wrong. To wit, try loading a module whose init
function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash
(presumably with a wrong user stack pointer).This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet
when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to
int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to
have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no
_TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are
already superfluous. If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call
do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do.Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath
