<id>90f72aa58bbf076b68e289fbd71eb829bc505923</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>ksm: define MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.

This sockopt goes in line with SO_TYPE and SO_PROTOCOL. It makes it
possible for userspace programs to pass around file descriptors — I
am referring to arguments-to-functions, but it may even work for the
fd passing over UNIX sockets — without needing to also pass the
auxiliary information (PF_INET6/IPPROTO_TCP).

Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to
retrieve the protocol used with a given socket.

I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why
the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex
numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be
the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or
so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others
just uses the next free Linux number, 38.

<title>mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()</title>

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

be configured for their alternate function.

changes compared to v1:
- fixed bug on edge interrupt configuration

There was already a PLATFORM_NR_IRQS define, which is now accompanied
by a VARIANT_NR_IRQS. To be able to initialize these interrupts,
init_IRQ now calls a variant specific hook.

Changes compared to v1:
- adapted to new CONFIG_VARIANT_IRQ_EXT
- removed definition and call of platform_init_IRQ as there already
  is a platform_init_irq defined in asm/platform.h with a weak default
  in kernel/platform.c
- renamed variant_init_IRQ to variant_init_irq

Note that I could not find the call site of platform_init_irq although
it is stated in platform.h that it is called from init_IRQ.
