Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB
miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked
the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t.Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that
change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match,
second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle
hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point.The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such
a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is
triggered at the wrong point. This patch addresses both bugs.Signed-off-by: David Gibson

alpha, sparc64, x86_64 are each missing some primitives from their atomic64
support: fill in the gaps I've noticed by extrapolating asm, follow the
groupings in each file. But powerpc and parisc still lack atomic64.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

This reverts commit af2b4079ab154bd12e8c12b02db5f31b31babe63
Changing the #define to an inline function breaks on non-SMP builds,
since wuite a few places in the kernel do not implement the ipi handler
when compiling for UP.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

There was some confusion about the different zone usage, this should fix
up the resulting mess in the GFP zonemask handling.The different zone usage is still confusing (it's very easy to mix up
the individual zone numbers with the GFP zone _list_ numbers), so we
might want to clean up some of this in the future, but in the meantime
this should fix the actual problems.Acked-by: Andi Kleen

This patch fixes the problem with promoting aliases when:
a) a single primary and > 1 secondary addresses
b) multiple primary addresses each with at least one secondary addressBased on earlier efforts from Brian Pomerantz ,

Not really a network problem, more a !SMP issue.
net/core/flow.c:295: warning: statement with no effect
flow.c:295: smp_call_function(flow_cache_flush_per_cpu, &info, 1, 0);
Fix this by converting the macro to an inline function, which
also increases the typechecking for !SMP builds.Signed-off-by: Russell King

Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few
drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The
PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in
zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages
just leak away.Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core,
to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they
have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in
core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and
sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range.Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it
needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special
vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be
eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it
kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages
don't get on).Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no
purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

It looks like snd_xxx is not the only nopage to be using PageReserved as a way
of holding a high-order page together: which no longer works, but is masked by
our failure to free from VM_RESERVED areas. We cannot fix that bug without
first substituting another way to hold the high-order page together, while
farming out the 0-order pages from within it.That's just what PageCompound is designed for, but it's been kept under
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. Remove the #ifdefs: which saves some space (out- of-line
put_page), doesn't slow down what most needs to be fast (already using
hugetlb), and unifies the way we handle high-order pages.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

This gives a name to the anonymous union introduced in skas-hold-own-ldt,
allowing to build on a wider range of gccs.It also removes ldt.h, which somehow became real, and replaces it with a
symlink, and creates ldt-x86_64.h as a copy of ldt-i386.h for now.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

Ever since we remove msr.c from x86_64 branch and started grabbing it from
i386, msr device (read functionality) has been broken for us.This is due to the differences between asm-i386/msr.h and asm-x86_64/msr.h interfaces.
Here is a patch to our side to fix this.
Thankfully, as of current (2.6.15-rc1-git6) tree, arch/i386/kernel/msr.c is the only file that uses rdmsr_safe macro.

The receiver status register reports latched error conditions, which
must be cleared by writing to it. However, the data register reports
unlatched conditions which are associated with the current character.
Use the data register to interpret error status rather than the RSR.Signed-off-by: Russell King

This involves some minor changes: a few unused functions that the
ppc32 pci.c provides are no longer declared here or exported;
pcibios_assign_all_busses now just refers to the pci_assign_all_buses
variable on both 32-bit and 64-bit; pcibios_scan_all_fns is now
just 0 instead of a function that always returns 0 on 64-bit.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
