Russell King f00a75c094 ARM: Pass VMA to copy_user_highpage() implementations
Our copy_user_highpage() implementations may require cache maintainence.
Ensure that implementations have all necessary details to perform this
maintainence.

Uwe Kleine-König 446c92b290 [ARM] 5421/1: ftrace: fix crash due to tracing of __naked functions
This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

Nicolas Pitre 43ae286b7d [ARM] fix a couple clear_user_highpage assembly constraints
In all cases the kaddr is assigned an input register even though it is
modified in the assembly code.  Let's assign a new variable to the
modified value and mark those inline asm with volatile otherwise they
get optimized away because the output variable is otherwise not used.

Also fix a few conversion errors in copypage-feroceon.c and
copypage-v4mc.c.

Russell King 303c644365 [ARM] clearpage: provide our own clear_user_highpage()
For similar reasons as copy_user_page(), we want to avoid the
additional kmap_atomic if it's unnecessary.

Russell King 063b0a4207 [ARM] copypage: provide our own copy_user_highpage()
We used to override the copy_user_page() function.  However, this
is not only inefficient, it also causes additional complexity for
highmem support, since we convert from a struct page to a kernel
direct mapped address and back to a struct page again.

Moreover, with highmem support, we end up pointlessly setting up
kmap entries for pages which we're going to remap.  So, push the
kmapping down into the copypage implementation files where it's
required.

Russell King bb30f36f9b [ARM] Introduce new PTE memory type bits
Provide L_PTE_MT_xxx definitions to describe the memory types that we
use in Linux/ARM.  These definitions are carefully picked such that:

1. their LSBs match what is required for pre-ARMv6 CPUs.
2. they all have a unique encoding, including after modification
   by build_mem_type_table() (the result being that some have more
   than one combination.)

Richard Purdie 1c9d3df5e8 [ARM] 4078/1: Fix ARM copypage cache coherency problems
If PG_dcache_dirty is set for a page, we need to flush the source page
before performing any copypage operation using a different virtual address.

This fixes the copypage implementations for XScale, StrongARM and ARMv6.

This patch fixes segmentation faults seen in the dynamic linker under
the usage patterns in glibc 2.4/2.5.

Russell King ad1ae2fe7f [ARM] Unuse another Linux PTE bit
L_PTE_ASID is not really required to be stored in every PTE, since we
can identify it via the address passed to set_pte_at().  So, create
set_pte_ext() which takes the address of the PTE to set, the Linux
PTE value, and the additional CPU PTE bits which aren't encoded in
the Linux PTE value.

Russell King 1b2e2b73b4 [ARM] Cleanup arch/arm/mm a little
Move top_pmd into arch/arm/mm/mm.h - nothing outside arch/arm/mm
references it.

Move the repeated definition of TOP_PTE into mm/mm.h, as well as
a few function prototypes.

Russell King f8f98a9335 [PATCH] ARM: Fix Xscale copy_page implementation
The ARM copypage changes in 2.6.12-rc4-git1 removed the preempt locking
from the copypage functions which broke the XScale implementation.
This patch fixes the locking on XScale and removes the now unneeded
minicache code.
