Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install,
because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h. This problem
was introduced bycommit fb56dbb31c4738a3918db81fd24da732ce3b4ae6
Author: Avi Kivity
Date: Sun Dec 2 10:50:06 2007 +0200KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM
Currently, make headers_check barfs due to , which
includes, not existing. Rather than add a zillion s, export kvm.

which makes this an 2.6.25 regression.
One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced
me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go. This patch changes
the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y.If unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all
architectures without asm/kvm.h. Therefore, this patch also provides
asm/kvm.h on all architectures.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is
subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
example.This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but
since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having
to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is
to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
sh tree.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.[jdike@addtoit.com: uml: re-remove accidentally restored code]

struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.Cc: Linux Arch Mailing List

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned

at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
NULL when passed such an entry.It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get

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
