Git commit 3610cce87af0693603db171d5b6f6735f5e3dc5b (yeah my own :-/)
introduced a bug in regard to pud/pmd table entries.
If the address of the page table refered to by a pud/pmd value happens
to have zeroes in the lower 32 bits, pud_present and pmd_present return
false. The obvious effect is that this triggers the BUG_ON in exit_mmap
because some ptes will not get released on process end. Worse is that
the next fault for memory covered by that pud/pmd will allocate another
pmd/pte table and populate the pud/pmd entry. The old page table
entries hanging below this entry are lost!
The fix is simple, properly check against 0. The check is added for
pud_none/pmd_none as well even if these two functions work because
the invalid bit is in the lower 32 bits.

Current support for TRACE_IRQFLAGS and lockdep_sys_exit is broken.
IRQ flag tracing is broken for program checks. Even worse is that
the newly introduced calls to lockdep_sys_exit are in the critical
section code which is not supposed to call any C functions. In
addition the checks if locks are still held are also done when
returning to kernel code which is broken as well.
Fix all this by disabling interrupts and machine checks at the
exit paths and then do the appropriate checks and calls.

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:
- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
NULL when passed such an entry.
It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
and set the page member.

The current tlb flushing code for page table entries violates the
s390 architecture in a small detail. The relevant section from the
principles of operation (SA22-7832-02 page 3-47):
"A valid table entry must not be changed while it is attached
to any CPU and may be used for translation by that CPU except to
(1) invalidate the entry by using INVALIDATE PAGE TABLE ENTRY or
INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY, (2) alter bits 56-63 of a page-table
entry, or (3) make a change by means of a COMPARE AND SWAP AND
PURGE instruction that purges the TLB."
That means if one thread of a multithreaded applciation uses a vma
while another thread does an unmap on it, the page table entries of
that vma needs to get removed with IPTE, IDTE or CSP. In some strange
and rare situations a cpu could check-stop (die) because a entry has
been pushed out of the TLB that is still needed to complete a
(milli-coded) instruction. I've never seen it happen with the current
code on any of the supported machines, so right now this is a
theoretical problem. But I want to fix it nevertheless, to avoid
headaches in the futures.
To get this implemented correctly without changing common code the
primitives ptep_get_and_clear, ptep_get_and_clear_full and
ptep_set_wrprotect need to use the IPTE instruction to invalidate the
pte before the new pte value gets stored. If IPTE is always used for
the three primitives three important operations will have a performace
hit: fork, mprotect and exit_mmap. Time for some workarounds:
* 1: ptep_get_and_clear_full is used in unmap_vmas to remove page
tables entries in a batched tlb gather operation. If the mmu_gather
context passed to unmap_vmas has been started with full_mm_flush==1
or if only one cpu is online or if the only user of a mm_struct is the
current process then the fullmm indication in the mmu_gather context is
set to one. All TLBs for mm_struct are flushed by the tlb_gather_mmu
call. No new TLBs can be created while the unmap is in progress. In
this case ptep_get_and_clear_full clears the ptes with a simple store.
* 2: ptep_get_and_clear is used in change_protection to clear the
ptes from the page tables before they are reentered with the new
access flags. At the end of the update flush_tlb_range clears the
remaining TLBs. In general the ptep_get_and_clear has to issue IPTE
for each pte and flush_tlb_range is a nop. But if there is only one
user of the mm_struct then ptep_get_and_clear uses simple stores
to do the update and flush_tlb_range will flush the TLBs.
* 3: Similar to 2, ptep_set_wrprotect is used in copy_page_range
for a fork to make all ptes of a cow mapping read-only. At the end of
of copy_page_range dup_mmap will flush the TLBs with a call to
flush_tlb_mm. Check for mm->mm_users and if there is only one user
avoid using IPTE in ptep_set_wrprotect and let flush_tlb_mm clear the
TLBs.
Overall for single threaded programs the tlb flush code now performs
better, for multi threaded programs it is slightly worse. In particular
exit_mmap() now does a single IDTE for the mm and then just frees every
page cache reference and every page table page directly without a delay
over the mmu_gather structure.

Add two new sysfs entries per cpu: idle_count and idle_time.
idle_count contains the number of times a cpu went into idle state.
idle_time contains the time a cpu spent in idle state in microseconds.
This can be used e.g. by powertop to tell how often idle state is
entered and left.

Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ check from the __u64/__s64 declaration on
32bit targets.
GCC can be made to warn about usage of long long types with ISO C90
(-ansi), but only with -pedantic. You can write this in a way that even
then it doesn't cause warnings, namely by:
#ifdef __GNUC__
__extension__ typedef __signed__ long long __s64;
__extension__ typedef unsigned long long __u64;
#endif
The __extension__ keyword in front of this switches off any pedantic
warnings for this expression.

x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the
proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.
I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
important aswell.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

be migrated
It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
storage and discarding.
An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
__GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The
flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there
are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.
Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
Hugh Dickens.
Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
and ramfs allocations.

One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.
Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

Continuing the work started in 411f0f3edc141a582190d3605cadd1d993abb6df ...
This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without
requiring additional code factoring. It also prevents code that calls
dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously
the code would hit a BUG() at run time. Finally, it allows archs that set
!HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.

Kill pte_rdprotect(), pte_exprotect(), pte_mkread(), pte_mkexec(), pte_read(),
pte_exec(), and pte_user() except where arch-specific code is making use of
them.

Add the termios2 structure ready for enabling on most platforms. One or
two like Sparc are plain weird so have been left alone. Most can use the
same structure as ktermios for termios2 (ie the newer ioctl uses the
structure matching the current kernel structure)

sched-cfs-v2.6.22-git-v18.patch introduces CPU_IDLE in sched.h.
This conflict with the already existing define in
include/asm-s390/processor.h
Just rename the s390 defines, since they will go away as soon as
we support CONFIG_NO_HZ instead of our own CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ.
