The code for demoting segments to 4K had some issues, like for example, when using _PAGE_4K_PFN flag, the first CPU to hit it would do the demotion, but other CPUs hitting the same page wouldn't properly flush their SLBs if mmu_ci_restriction isn't set. There are also potential issues with hash_preload not handling _PAGE_4K_PFN. All of these are non issues on current hardware but might bite us in the future. This patch thus fixes it by: - Taking the test comparing the mm and current CPU context page sizes to decide to flush SLBs out of the mmu_ci_restrictions test since that can also be triggered by _PAGE_4K_PFN pages - Due to the above being done all the time, demote_segment_4k doesn't need update the context and flush the SLB - demote_segment_4k can be static and doesn't need an EXPORT_SYMBOL - Making hash_preload ignore anything that has either _PAGE_4K_PFN or _PAGE_NO_CACHE set, thus avoiding duplication of the complicated logic in hash_page() (and possibly making hash_preload a little bit faster for the normal case).

On some powerpc architectures (notably 64-bit powermac) there is a memory hole, for example on powermacs between 2G and 4G. Since we use the flat memory model regardless, these pages must be marked as nosave (for suspend to disk.)

In the process of rewriting the x86 setup code, I found a number of inaccuracies and outdated recommendations in the boot protocol documentation. Revamp to make it more up to date. In particular, the common use of the heap actually requires (slightly) more than 4K of heap plus stack, which is the recommended amount in the document; currently the code compensates by being smaller than specified, but we can't assume that will be true forever. Thus, recommend that if we have a modern bzImage kernel, that the bootloader maximizes the available space. Signed-off-by: H.

Miscellaneous fixes to bring FRV up to date: (1) Copy the new syscall numbers from i386 to asm-frv/unistd.h and fill out the syscall table in entry.S too. (2) Mark __frv_uart0 and __frv_uart1 __pminitdata rather than __initdata so that determine_clocks() can access them when CONFIG_PM=y. (3) Make arch/frv/mm/elf-fdpic.c include asm/mman.h so that MAP_FIXED is available (fixes commit 2fd3beba).

This reverts commit 464bdd33. Peter Anvin correctly points out that VESA modes have nothing to do with frame buffers per se - they are often just regular extended text modes.

The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm, with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info entirely as there really isn't any need for it. This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of the PCI error interrupt handling. It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for a few reasons: 1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both PBMs for error status. These errors come from the UPA front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus segments. Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info 2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the 'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be eliminated trivially. What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm to another. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
