Martin Schwidefsky 2f569afd9c CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.

Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).

Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
 To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

Kirill A. Shutemov 516c25a86f Cleanup asm/{elf,page,user}.h: #ifdef __KERNEL__ is no longer needed
asm/elf.h, asm/page.h and asm/user.h don't export to userspace now, so we can
drop #ifdef __KERNEL__ for them.

Randy Dunlap 6df95fd7ad consolidate asm/const.h to linux/const.h
Make a global linux/const.h header file instead of having multiple,
per-arch files, and convert current users of asm/const.h to use
linux/const.h.

Built on x86_64 and sparc64.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki a117e66ed4 [PATCH] unify pfn_to_page: generic functions
There are 3 memory models, FLATMEM, DISCONTIGMEM, SPARSEMEM.
Each arch has its own page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() for each models.
But most of them can use the same arithmetic.

This patch adds asm-generic/memory_model.h, which includes generic
page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() definitions for each memory model.

When CONFIG_OUT_OF_LINE_PFN_TO_PAGE=y, out-of-line functions are
used instead of macro. This is enabled by some archs and  reduces
text size.

1) huge_pte_offset() did not check the page table hierarchy
   elements as being empty correctly, resulting in an OOPS

2) Need platform specific hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() to handle
   the top-down vs. bottom-up address space allocation strategies.

David S. Miller 8bcd174116 [SPARC64]: Do not allow mapping pages within 4GB of 64-bit VA hole.
The UltraSPARC T1 manual recommends this because the chip
could instruction prefetch into the VA hole, and this would
also make decoding  certain kinds of memory access traps
more difficult (because the chip sign extends certain pieces
of trap state).

Stephen Rothwell fd4fd5aac1 [PATCH] mm: consolidate get_order
Someone mentioned that almost all the architectures used basically the same
implementation of get_order.  This patch consolidates them into
asm-generic/page.h and includes that in the appropriate places.  The
exceptions are ia64 and ppc which have their own (presumably optimised)
versions.

David Gibson 63551ae0fe [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation
A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.

Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

Notes:
	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
	  analagous to set_pte()
	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
