Linus Torvalds 07ab67c8d0 Fix get_unmapped_area sanity tests
As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless
of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area()
slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.

Linus Torvalds 49a43876b9 [PATCH] prevent NULL mmap in topdown model
Prevent the topdown allocator from allocating mmap areas all the way
down to address zero.

We still allow a MAP_FIXED mapping of page 0 (needed for various things,
ranging from Wine and DOSEMU to people who want to allow speculative
loads off a NULL pointer).

Tested by Chris Wright.

akpm@osdl.org 119f657c72 [PATCH] RLIMIT_AS checking fix
Address bug #4508: there's potential for wraparound in the various places
where we perform RLIMIT_AS checking.

(I'm a bit worried about acct_stack_growth().  Are we sure that vma->vm_mm is
always equal to current->mm?  If not, then we're comparing some other
process's total_vm with the calling process's rlimits).

Hugh Dickins 561bbe3235 [PATCH] freepgt: remove FIRST_USER_ADDRESS hack
Once all the MMU architectures define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, remove hack from
mmap.c which derived it from FIRST_USER_PGD_NR.

Hugh Dickins e2cdef8c84 [PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables from FIRST_USER_ADDRESS
The patches to free_pgtables by vma left problems on any architectures which
leave some user address page table entries unencapsulated by vma.  Andi has
fixed the 32-bit vDSO on x86_64 to use a vma.  Now fix arm (and arm26), whose
first PAGE_SIZE is reserved (perhaps) for machine vectors.

Our calls to free_pgtables must not touch that area, and exit_mmap's
BUG_ON(nr_ptes) must allow that arm's get_pgd_slow may (or may not) have
allocated an extra page table, which its free_pgd_slow would free later.

FIRST_USER_PGD_NR has misled me and others: until all the arches define
FIRST_USER_ADDRESS instead, a hack in mmap.c to derive one from t'other.  This
patch fixes the bugs, the remaining patches just clean it up.

Hugh Dickins ee39b37b23 [PATCH] freepgt: remove MM_VM_SIZE(mm)
There's only one usage of MM_VM_SIZE(mm) left, and it's a troublesome macro
because mm doesn't contain the (32-bit emulation?) info needed.  But it too is
only needed because we ignore the end from the vma list.

We could make flush_pgtables return that end, or unmap_vmas.  Choose the
latter, since it's a natural fit with unmap_mapping_range_vma needing to know
its restart addr.  This does make more than minimal change, but if unmap_vmas
had returned the end before, this is how we'd have done it, rather than
storing the break_addr in zap_details.

unmap_vmas used to return count of vmas scanned, but that's just debug which
hasn't been useful in a while; and if we want the map_count 0 on exit check
back, it can easily come from the final remove_vm_struct loop.

Hugh Dickins e0da382c92 [PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list
Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level
clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its
long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level
page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on
ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables.

Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by
free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same
way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables.  This
brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled,
in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput).

Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region
instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and
can only be freed while it is touched by some vma.

Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted
from the clear_page_range levels.  (Most of free_pgtables' old code was
actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before
hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we
might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going
by vma should itself reduce latency.

But what if is_hugepage_only_range?  Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful
examination: put that off until a later patch of the series.

What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma?

And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables?  It's less clear to me now that
we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be
flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? 
A shame to complicate it unnecessarily.

Special thanks to David Miller for time spent repairing my ceilings.

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!
