This adds support for pcmcia slot on sharp zaurus sl-5500. pxa2xx_sharpsl.c thus becomes quite miss-named, but I guess that is not worth fixing? Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Patch from Nicolas Pitre This patch gets rid of the last C implementations of needed libgcc functions for the kernel, replacing them with optimized assembly versions. Those functions are: __ashldi3 __ashrdi3 __lshrdi3 __muldi3 __ucmpdi2 The first 3 were lifted from gcc, the other two were written from scratch.

In 'mm' change the explicit use of a for-loop using NR_CPUS into the general for_each_cpu() constructs. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

Policy contextualization is only useful for task based policies and not for vma based policies. It may be useful to define allowed nodes that are not accessible from this thread because other threads may have access to these nodes. Without this patch strange memory policy situations may cause an application to fail with out of memory. Example: Let's say we have two threads A and B that share the same address space and a huge array computational array X. Thread A is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 0 and 1 and thread B is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 2 and 3. Thread A now wants to restrict allocations to the first node and thus applies a BIND policy on X to node 0 and 2. The cpuset limits this to node 0. Thus pages for X must be allocated on node 0 now. Thread B now touches a page that has never been used in X and faults in a page. According to the BIND policy of the vma for X the page must be allocated on page 0. However, the cpuset of B does not allow allocation on 0 and 1. Now the application fails in alloc_pages with out of memory.

- Do a separation between do_xxx and sys_xxx functions. sys_xxx functions take variable sized bitmaps from user space as arguments. do_xxx functions take fixed sized nodemask_t as arguments and may be used from inside the kernel. Doing so simplifies the initialization code. There is no fs = kernel_ds assumption anymore. - Split up get_nodes into get_nodes (which gets the node list) and contextualize_policy which restricts the nodes to those accessible to the task and updates cpusets. - Add comments explaining limitations of bind policy Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This basically keeps up from having to extern __kmalloc_section_memmap(). The vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() helper could go in a vmalloc header, but that header gets hard to work with, because it needs some arch-specific macros. Just stick it in here for now, instead of creating another header.

This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option. Individual architecture patches will follow. For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled. There's a lot of churn there right now. We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.

pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function. Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a little more straightforward. This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

When doing memory hotplug operations, the size of existing zones can obviously change. This means that zone->zone_{start_pfn,spanned_pages} can change. There are currently no locks that protect these structure members. However, they are rarely accessed at runtime. Outside of swsusp, the only place that I can find is bad_range(). So, split bad_range() up into two pieces: one that needs to be locked and anther that doesn't.

If a zone is empty at boot-time and then hot-added to later, it needs to run the same init code that would have been run on it at boot. This patch breaks out zone table and per-cpu-pages functions for use by the hotplug code. You can almost see all of the free_area_init_core() function on one page now. :) Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We had a problem on ppc64 where with more than 4 threads a large system wouldn't scale well while faulting in the .text (most of the time was spent in the kernel despite it was an userland compute intensive app). The reason is the useless overwrite of the same pte from all cpu. I fixed it this way (verified on an older kernel but the forward port is almost identical). This will benefit all archs not just ppc64.

Basic overcommit checking for hugetlb_file_map() based on an implementation used with demand faulting in SLES9. Since demand faulting can't guarantee the availability of pages at mmap time, this patch implements a basic sanity check to ensure that the number of huge pages required to satisfy the mmap are currently available. Despite the obvious race, I think it is a good start on doing proper accounting. I'd like to work towards an accounting system that mimics the semantics of normal pages (especially for the MAP_PRIVATE/COW case). That work is underway and builds on what this patch starts. Huge page shared memory segments are simpler and still maintain their commit on shmget semantics.

Below is a patch to implement demand faulting for huge pages. The main motivation for changing from prefaulting to demand faulting is so that huge page memory areas can be allocated according to NUMA policy. Thanks to consolidated hugetlb code, switching the behavior requires changing only one fault handler. The bulk of the patch just moves the logic from hugelb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault() and find_get_huge_page().

Move hugetlbfs accounting into ->alloc_inode / ->destroy_inode.

A couple of oddities were guarded by page_table_lock, no longer properly guarded when that is split. The mm_counters of file_rss and anon_rss: make those an atomic_t, or an atomic64_t if the architecture supports it, in such a case. Definitions by courtesy of Christoph Lameter: who spent considerable effort on more scalable ways of counting, but found insufficient benefit in practice. And adding an mm with swap to the mmlist for swapoff: the list is well- guarded by its own lock, but the list_empty check now has to be repeated inside it.

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.
