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.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

(with Martin Schwidefsky )
The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.[kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com: i386 fix]

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.Signed-off-by: Dave McCracken

It seems odd to me that, whereas pud_alloc and pmd_alloc test inline, only
calling out-of-line __pud_alloc __pmd_alloc if allocation needed,
pte_alloc_map and pte_alloc_kernel are entirely out-of-line. Though it does
add a little to kernel size, change them to macros testing inline, calling
__pte_alloc or __pte_alloc_kernel to allocate out-of-line. Mark none of them
as fastcalls, leave that to CONFIG_REGPARM or not.It also seems more natural for the out-of-line functions to leave the offset
calculation and map to the inline, which has to do it anyway for the common
case. At least mremap move wants __pte_alloc without _map.Macros rather than inline functions, certainly to avoid the header file issues
which arise from CONFIG_HIGHPTE needing kmap_types.h, but also in case any
architectures I haven't built would have other such problems.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

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!
