Make the limit for the number of TIO nodes a function of the number
of C/M nodes in the system instead of a hardcoded constant.  The
number of TIO nodes should be the same as the number of C/M nodes.

Make new MADV_REMOVE, MADV_DONTFORK, MADV_DOFORK consistent across all
arches.  The idea is to make it possible to use them portably even before
distros include them in libc headers.

Move common flags to asm-generic/mman.h

<title>[IA64] ia64: simplify and fix udelay()</title>

<id>defbb2c929cbe89dc92239b303cd33d3c85e9a83</id>
<content type='text'>
The original ia64 udelay() was simple, but flawed for platforms without
synchronized ITCs:  a preemption and migration to another CPU during the
while-loop likely resulted in too-early termination or very, very
lengthy looping.

The first fix (now in 2.6.15) broke the delay loop into smaller,
non-preemptible chunks, reenabling preemption between the chunks.  This
fix is flawed in that the total udelay is computed to be the sum of just
the non-premptible while-loop pieces, i.e., not counting the time spent
in the interim preemptible periods.  If an interrupt or a migration
occurs during one of these interim periods, then that time is invisible
and only serves to lengthen the effective udelay().

This new fix backs out the current flawed fix and returns to a simple
udelay(), fully preemptible and interruptible.  It implements two simple
alternative udelay() routines:  one a default generic version that uses
ia64_get_itc(), and the other an sn-specific version that uses that
platform's RTC.

The __sn_cnodeid_to_nasid array was incorrectly sized at MAX_NUMNODES.
On a large system, this array could overflow.  The following patch
corrects this by defining it to MAX_COMPACT_NODES.

<title>[PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK</title>

Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.

In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.

This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.
