Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code. They are:arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork
arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

wrap_mmu_context(), delayed_tlb_flush(), get_mmu_context() all
have an extra { } block which cause one extra indentation.
get_mmu_context() is particularly bad with 5 indentations to
the most inner "if". It finally gets on my nerve that I can't
keep the code within 80 columns. Remove the extra { } block
and while I'm at it, reformat all the comments to 80-column
friendly. No functional change at all with this patch.Signed-off-by: Ken Chen

Corrects the very inefficent method of finding free context_ids in
get_mmu_context(). Instead of walking the task_list of all processes,
2 bitmaps are used to efficently store and lookup state, inuse and
needs flushing. The entire rid address space is now used before calling
wrap_mmu_context and global tlb flushing.Special thanks to Ken and Rohit for their review and modifications in
using a bit flushmap.Signed-off-by: Peter Keilty

Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several
names. For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and
RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.hWe also have address definitions that should depend on the
RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants.The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have
the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that
depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them.(This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like
operation on IA64).Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

The patch below should fix a race which could cause stale TLB entries.
Specifically, when 2 CPUs ended up racing for entrance to
wrap_mmu_context(). The losing CPU would find that by the time it
acquired ctx.lock, mm->context already had a valid value, but then it
failed to (re-)check the delayed TLB flushing logic and hence could
end up using a context number when there were still stale entries in
its TLB. The fix is to check for delayed TLB flushes only after
mm->context is valid (non-zero). The patch also makes GCC v4.x
happier by defining a non-volatile variant of mm_context_t called
nv_mm_context_t.Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang

There's another problem shown up by Ingo's recent patch to make
smp_processor_id() complain if it's called with preemption enabled.
local_finish_flush_tlb_mm() calls activate_context() in a situation
where it could be rescheduled to another processor. This patch
disables preemption around the call.Signed-off-by: Peter Chubb

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!
