  • The recently introduced page walker (walk_page_range()) calls pgd_offset with a
    const struct mm_struct pointer, causing the following compile warning on m68k:

    mm/pagewalk.c:111: warning: passing argument 1 of 'pgd_offset' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

    Make the `mm' parameter of the inline function pgd_offset() const to shut it
    up.

  • Kill pte_rdprotect(), pte_exprotect(), pte_mkread(), pte_mkexec(), pte_read(),
    pte_exec(), and pte_user() except where arch-specific code is making use of
    them.

  • 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.

  • 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!
