This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

This patch adds declared coherent memory support to the sh architecture. All
functions are based on the x86 implementation. Header files are adjusted to
use the new functions instead of the former consistent_alloc() code.
This version includes the few changes what were included in the fix patch
together with modifications based on feedback from Paul.

Presently most of the 29-bit physical parts do P1/P2 segmentation
with a 1:1 cached/uncached mapping, jumping between the two to
control the caching behaviour. This provides the basic infrastructure
to maintain this behaviour on 32-bit physical parts that don't map
P1/P2 at all, using a shiny new linker section and corresponding
fixmap entry.

With the refactored update_mmu_cache() introduced in older kernels,
there's no longer any need to take the page_table_lock in this path,
so simply drop it completely.
Without this, performance degradation is seen on SMP on heavily
threaded workloads that don't use the split ptlock, and ultimately
we have no reason to contend for the lock in the first place.

The __do_page_fault() fast-path contains a UTLB flush in order to
force an ITLB reload, this isn't needed in practice as the ITLB is
auto-reloaded from the UTLB anyways, which is already displaced by
the manual 'ldtlb' in the update_mmu_cache() path.
This provides a measurable speed up in the TLB miss fast-path.

Now that copy_to_user_page()/copy_from_user_page() are wired up, we
can drop the old __copy_xxx() implementations. Now that the page
colouring scheme has changed via kmap_coherent(), we can avoid the
flush in these specific helpers.

This moves copy_{to,from}_user_page() out-of-line on SH-4 and

With the kmap_coherent() API in place, this is trivial to implement,

The ST40 stuff in-tree hasn't built for some time, and hasn't been
updated for over 3 years. ST maintains their own out-of-tree changes
and rebases occasionally, and that's ultimately where all of the ST40
users go anyways.
In order for the ST40 code to be brought up to date most of the stuff
removed in this changeset would have to be rewritten anyways, so there's
very little benefit in keeping the remnants around either.

movca.l is restricted to SH-4 and up only, though compilers that

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So
remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.

the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
Convert

Now, arch dependent code around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is a mess.
This patch cleans up them. This is against 2.6.23-rc6-mm1.
- fix compile failure on ia64/ CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE case.
- For !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, add generic no-op remove_memory(),
which returns -EINVAL.
- removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc.
- removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64.
- only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it
to return -EINVAL.
Note:
Currently, only ia64 supports CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. I welcome other
archs if there are requirements and testers.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.
