This patch requires arch support. I have patches for ia32, ppc64 and x86_64. Other architectures will break. It is a five-minute fix. See http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2003-03/msg00174.html for implementation details. Patch from: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> the attached patch, against BK-curr, is a preparation to make remap_file_pages() usable on swappable vmas as well. When 'swapping out' shared-named mappings the page offset is written into the pte. it takes one bit from the swap-type bits, otherwise it does not change the pte layout - so it should be easy to adapt any other architecture to this change as well. (this patch does not introduce the protection-bits-in-pte approach used in my previous patch.) On 32-bit pte sizes with an effective usable pte range of 29 bits, this limits mmap()-able file size to 4096 * 2^29 == 2 TBs. If the usable range is smaller, then the maximum mmap() size is reduced as well. The worst-case i found (PPC) was 2 hw-reserved bits in the swap-case, which limits us to 1 TB filesize. Is there any other hw that has an even worse ratio of sw-usable pte bits? this mmap() limit can be eliminated by simply not converting the swapped out pte to a file-pte, but clearning it and falling back to the linear mapping upon swapin. This puts the limit into remap_file_pages() alone, but i really hope no-one wants to use remap_file_pages() on a 32-bit platform, on a larger than 1-2 TB file. sys_remap_file_pages() is now enforcing the 'prot' parameter to be zero. This restriction might be lifted in the future - i really hope we can have more flexible remapping once 64-bit platforms are commonplace - eg. things like memory debuggers could just use the permission bits directly, instead of creating many small vmas. i've tested swappable nonlinear ptes and they are swapped out/in correctly. some other changes in -A0 relative to 2.5.63-BK: - slightly smarter TLB flushing in install_page(). This is still only a stupid helper functions - a more efficient 'walk the pagecache tree and pagetable at once and use TLB-gather' implementation is preferred. - cleanup: pass on pgprot_t instead of unsigned long prot. - some sanity checks to make sure file_pte() rules are followed. - do not reduce the vma's default protection to PROT_NONE when using remap_file_pages() on it. With swappable ptes this is now safe.

This patch fixes a couple of bugs and compile errors in the powerbook media bay driver. It was getting initialized after the IDE subsystem, whereas it needs to be initialized before so that the IDE subsystem can see the CD-ROM drive in the bay.

This patch updates the mac53c94 scsi HBA driver, used on older powermacs, to correspond with the recent scsi subsystem changes, to use the PCI DMA API, to not panic, and to use a spinlock instead of save_flags/restore_flags/cli/sti.

This patch updates the `mesh' scsi driver used on older powermacs to correspond with recent changes in the scsi subsystem (things like using cmd->device->id instead of cmd->target).

This patch forward-ports various fixes to the driver for the PMU (power manager unit) on powermacs and powerbooks from 2.4, and in particular, some improvements to the battery charge calculations. From Ben Herrenschmidt.

The patch below removes the uses of save_flags/restore_flags/cli etc. from the macserial driver and replaces them with a spinlock.

This patch updates the CUDA driver (the power/reset/ADB controller on older powermacs) to fix some SMP issues and to match the 2.4 version of the driver. From Ben Herrenschmidt.

This patch updates include/linux/adb.h and include/linux/pmu.h with some additional definitions that we need on powermacs and powerbooks.

Convert the pcnet_cs driver to use the new registration call.

Remove the linked list of pcmcia_drivers. It didn't even handle removal of a driver properly, so it won't be missed all that much.
-
Dominik Brodowski authored
Register all pcmcia drivers with the pcmcia bus within the old register_pccard_driver() function. Alternatively, a new registration function "pcmcia_register_driver()" (and its counterpart, "pcmcia_unregister_driver()") can be used.

Register a bus_type pcmcia_bus_type. This means the initialization of the ds module needs to be done in two levels: one quite early (subsys_initcall) so that drivers may use the bus_type; the other one must stay that late (late_initcall). As only one initcall can be specified within one module, some tweaking is needed.

I'm looking into the other IDE problem from the merge - several people see hangs. Bartolomiej has found one suspicious looking candidate. I'll try and pin it down ASAP.

Two problems with the original change 1. We should return bytes actually processed on an error according to SuS/POSIX. Technically the EFAULT path is outside the spec but its best we follow 2. We need to fix most of this anyway because the final section of the change was wrong. If retval was set we retried and got an efault again in some cases I think this way of doing it is right but it could do with further review
