  • dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
    cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw
    MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has
    suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
    more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So
    remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
    discussed on linux-arch.

  • All asm/ipc.h files do only #include .

    This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the

  • DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED was used for semaphores used as completions and we've
    got rid of them. Well, except for one in libusual that the maintainer
    explicitly wants to keep as semaphore. So convert that useage to an
    explicit sema_init and kill of DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED so that new code is
    reminded to use a completion.

  • Add minimum support for the Blackfin relocations, since we don't have
    enough space in each reloc. The idea is to store a value with one
    relocation so that subsequent ones can access it.

    Actually, this patch is required for Blackfin. Currently if BINFMT_FLAT is
    enabled, git-tree kernel will fail to compile.

  • Remove is_in_rom() function. It doesn't actually serve the purpose it was
    intended to. If you look at the use of it _access_ok() (which is the only use
    of it) then it is obvious that most of memory is marked as access_ok. No
    point having is_in_rom() then, so remove it.

  • It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
    This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
    GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
    using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
    storage and discarding.

    An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
    __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The
    flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
    change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there
    are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
    be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.

    Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
    shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
    shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
    Hugh Dickens.

    Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
    concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
    and ramfs allocations.

  • I'm not sure if this is going to fly, weak symbols work on the compilers I'm
    using, but whether they work for all of the affected architectures I can't say.
    I've cc'ed as many arch maintainers/lists as I could find.

    But assuming they do, we can use a weak empty definition of
    pcibios_add_platform_entries() to avoid having an empty definition on every
    arch.

  • atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
    I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
    prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
    the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
    probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
    atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
    sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.

    atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
    Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by
    such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the
    rest of my atomic.h patches.

    It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.

  • Most architectures defined three macros, MK_IOSPACE_PFN(), GET_IOSPACE()
    and GET_PFN() in pgtable.h. However, the only callers of any of these
    macros are in Sparc specific code, either in arch/sparc, arch/sparc64 or
    drivers/sbus.

    This patch removes the redundant macros from all architectures except
    sparc and sparc64.

  • This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
    various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
    code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
    the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
    sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

    arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
    arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
    declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
    this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

  • 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.
