Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.
Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.
Let's remove this API.

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.
dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
This patch:
dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.
Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
(except for crypto).

Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.
Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.
Currently avr32 doesn't implement any code to disable single stepping when
one of the non-syscall requests is called which seems wrong, but I've left

On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.
This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().
Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():
On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much
more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
pte_t?
Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that
-instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
_PAGE_EXEC.
So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which

flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is

Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
successfully by me.
Notes:
1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.
2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

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

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.

User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.
When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.
The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

To add a bit in the preempt_count to be set when in NMI context, we
found that some archs did not have enough bits to spare. This is
due to the hardirq_count being a mask that can hold NR_IRQS.
Some archs allow for over 16000 IRQs, and that would require a mask
of 14 bits. The sofitrq mask is 8 bits and the preempt disable mask
is also 8 bits. The PREEMP_ACTIVE bit is bit 30, and bit 31 would
make the preempt_count (which is type int) a negative number.
A negative preempt_count is a sign of failure.
Add them up 14+8+8+1+1 you get 32 bits. No room for the NMI bit.
But the hardirq_count is to track the number of nested IRQs, not
the number of total IRQs. This originally took the paranoid approach
of setting the max nesting to NR_IRQS. But when we have archs with
over 1000 IRQs, it is not practical to think they will ever all
nest on a single CPU. Not to mention that this would most definitely
cause a stack overflow.
This patch sets a max of 10 bits to be used for IRQ nesting.
I did a 'git grep HARDIRQ' to examine all users of HARDIRQ_BITS and
HARDIRQ_MASK, and found that making it a max of 10 would not hurt
anyone. I did find that the m68k expected it to be 8 bits, so
I allow for the archs to set the number to be less than 10.
I removed the setting of HARDIRQ_BITS from the archs that set it
to more than 10. This includes ALPHA, ia64 and avr32.
This will always allow room for the NMI bit, and if we need to allow
for NMI nesting, we have 4 bits to play with.
