2006-06-26[PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for ia64Anil S Keshavamurthy
Overloading of page fault notification with the notify_die() has performance issues(since the only interested components for page fault is kprobes and/or kdb) and hence this patch introduces the new notifier call chain exclusively for page fault notifications their by avoiding notifying unnecessary components in the do_page_fault() code path.

2006-04-07[IA64] Prefetch mmap_sem in ia64_do_page_fault()Christoph Lameter
Take a hint from an x86_64 optimization by Arjan van de Ven and use it for ia64. See a9ba9a3b3897561d01e04cd21433746df46548c0 Prefetch the mmap_sem, which is critical for the performance of the page fault handler. Note: mm may be NULL but I guess that is safe.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: ia64 use expand_upwardsHugh Dickins
ia64 has expand_backing_store function for growing its Register Backing Store vma upwards. But more complete code for this purpose is found in the CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP part of mm/mmap.c. Uglify its #ifdefs further to provide expand_upwards for ia64 as well as expand_stack for parisc. The Register Backing Store vma should be marked VM_ACCOUNT. Implement the intention of growing it only a page at a time, instead of passing an address outside of the vma to handle_mm_fault, with unknown consequences.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: vm_stat_account unshackledHugh Dickins
The original vm_stat_account has fallen into disuse, with only one user, and only one user of vm_stat_unaccount. It's easier to keep track if we convert them all to __vm_stat_account, then free it from its __shackles.

2005-09-06[IA64] page_not_present fault in region 5 is normalKiyoshi Ueda
When copying data from user-space to kernel-space by __copy_user(), a page_not_present fault sometimes occurs at vmalloced kernel address because of VHPT pre-fetching. Ignore the page_not_present fault in ia64_do_page_fault() before jumping into exception handlers.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: kdebug die notification mechanismAnil S Keshavamurthy
As many of you know that kprobes exist in the main line kernel for various architecture including i386, x86_64, ppc64 and sparc64. Attached patches following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64. I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine. I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various templates including various types of branch instructions. I have also tested this patch using the tool http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the kprobes for IA64 works great. Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon. 1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction 2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address 3) Support Return probes 3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes. For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes for switch case zero.

This simple patch changes the informational string to a more correct "break 0" value, and applies to the 2.6.12-rc2-mm2 tree with all the kprobes patches that were just recently included for the next mm cut.

2005-04-25[IA64] Need to handle lfetch in "no_context" case.Tony Luck
Thanks to Mark for tracking down this one. Users of __copy_from_user_inatomic() will be sad if we don't handle lfetch faults for the "no_context" case. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

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!
