Make flush_data_cache_local, flush_instruction_cache_local and
flush_tlb_all_local take a void * so they don't have to be cast
when using on_each_cpu(). This becomes a problem when on_each_cpu
is a macro (as it is in current -mm).Also move the prototype of flush_tlb_all_local into tlbflush.h and
remove its declaration from .c files.Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

Since taking a spinlock disables preempt, and we need to spinlock tlb flush
on SMP for N class, we might as well just spinlock on uniprocessor machines
too.Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch:
mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4,
but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6.On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which
has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so
proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on
page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a
bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm,
so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there.Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and
flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what
generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now
changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic
tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under
and sometimes not?).Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

move pa_tlb_lock and it's primary consumers to tlb_flush.h
Future step will be to move spinlock_t definition out of system.h.Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler

2.6.12-rc4-pa3 : first pass at making sure use of RFI conforms to
PA 2.0 arch pages F-4 and F-5, PA 1.1 Arch page 3-19 and 3-20.The discussion revolves around all the rules for clearing PSW Q-bit.
The hard part is meeting all the rules for "relied upon translation"..align directive is used to guarantee the critical sequence ends more than
8 instructions (32 bytes) from the end of page.Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler

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!
