2009-09-23m32r: Remove unused .altinstructions and .exit.* code from linker script.Tim Abbott
It appears that m32r copied the .altinstructions definition from x86 when the architecture was first merged into Linux. m32r doesn't put anything in .altinstructions, so this is just dead code. The following block affecting .exit.text/.exit.data, which has a comment also copied from x86, should also be deleted; the linker script later discards the .exit.text and .exit.data sections.

2009-09-23m32r: Move GET_THREAD_INFO definition out of asm/thread_info.h.Tim Abbott
Previously, asm/thread_info.h was not usable from linker scripts because it contains a piece of .macro code. Since that code was only used in the m32r entry.S, the right fix is probably to move the macro there.

2009-09-23m32r: Define THREAD_SIZE only once.Tim Abbott
Previously, m32r's asm/thread_info.h defined THREAD_SIZE differently for assembly and C code; now that PAGE_SIZE is usable from assembly, these can be combined. Also, m32r's asm/processor.h redefines THREAD_SIZE to the same value; remove this redundant definition.

2009-09-23m32r: make PAGE_SIZE available to assembly.Tim Abbott
page.h includes ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ guards, but PAGE_SIZE is defined using "1UL", which the assembler does not support.

2009-09-22mm: add MAP_HUGETLB for mmaping pseudo-anonymous huge page regionsArnd Bergmann
Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages. The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific meaning to it.

2009-09-22mm: ZERO_PAGE without PTE_SPECIALHugh Dickins
Reinstate anonymous use of ZERO_PAGE to all architectures, not just to those which __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL: as suggested by Nick Piggin. Contrary to how I'd imagined it, there's nothing ugly about this, just a zero_pfn test built into one or another block of vm_normal_page(). But the MIPS ZERO_PAGE-of-many-colours case demands is_zero_pfn() and my_zero_pfn() inlines. Reinstate its mremap move_pte() shuffling of ZERO_PAGEs we did from 2.6.17 to 2.6.19? Not unless someone shouts for that: it would have to take vm_flags to weed out some cases.

2009-09-22mm: don't use alloc_bootmem_low() where not strictly neededJan Beulich
Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full available range. Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

2009-09-22mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

2009-09-22ksm: define MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLEHugh Dickins
The out-of-tree KSM used ioctls on fds cloned from /dev/ksm to register a memory area for merging: we prefer now to use an madvise(2) interface. This patch just defines MADV_MERGEABLE (to tell KSM it may merge pages in this area found identical to pages in other mergeable areas) and MADV_UNMERGEABLE (to undo that). Most architectures use asm-generic, but alpha, mips, parisc, xtensa need their own definitions: included here for mmotm convenience, but we'll probably want to split this and feed pieces to arch maintainers.

2009-09-22perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter renamePaul Mackerras
This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list"). This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of contexts: * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is limited, not the events that they count. Hence: MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS limited_event -> limited_counter freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

2009-09-21ixp4xx: arch_idle() documentation fixupMikael Pettersson
The body of the mach-ixp4xx arch_idle() is mysteriously disabled by an #if 0 .. #endif. Normally one would expect to find a call to cpu_do_idle() there, but that call is disabled, even though cpu_do_idle() is implemented for XScale cores (and ixp4xx is one). The explanation can be found in the ixp42x developer's manual which states that the XScale core clock and power management registers aren't implemented on ixp42x [3.5.2.2]. Also, the disabled code has suffered from bit rot: - it checks hlt_counter which is obsolete, as that variable and all related code now is private to kernel/process.c - it passes too many parameters to cpu_do_idle() So this patch: - adds a comment before the #if 0 to explain why cpu_do_idle() mustn't be called on ixp4xx - removes the obsolete test of hlt_counter and the obsolete parameter to cpu_do_idle() This is purely a documentation fixup and changes no generated code.
