flush_cache_range() wasn't page aligning the end of the range,
we can't assume that it will always be page aligned, and we
ended up getting unaligned faults in some rare call paths.
Additionally, we add a small optimization to just purge the
dcache entirely if the range is large enough that the page
table walking will take longer. We use an arbitrary value of
64 pages for the large range size, as per sh64.

Convert cmm's usage of kernel_thread to kthread_run. Also create the
cmmthread at module load time, so it is possible to check if creation of
the thread fails.
In addition the cmmthread now gets terminated when the module gets unloaded
instead of leaving a stale kernel thread. Also check the return values of
other registration functions at module load and handle their return values
appropriately.

The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack. In order to overcome
an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single
register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full
pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and
returned one field. do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two
local pt_regs, blowing out the stack.
This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just
return a single register from a jmp_buf.
The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of
jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c. <setjmp.h>
shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc
setjmp/longjmp.

set_interval returns an error instead of panicing if setitimer fails. Some of
its callers now check the return.
enable_timer is largely tt-mode-specific, so it is marked as such, and the
only skas-mode caller is made to call set-interval instead.
user_time_init was a no-value-added wrapper around set_interval, so it is
gone.
Since set_interval is now called from kernel code, callers no longer pass
ITIMER_* to it. Instead, they pass a flag which is converted into ITIMER_REAL
or ITIMER_VIRTUAL.

Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers the
sigcontext and then calls a generic handler. This replaces the
ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile. On x86_64, recovering
%rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first thing that
happens. sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is no guarantee that
I can see that instructions won't be reordered such that %rdx is used before
that. Having the arch provide the handler seems much more robust.
Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these places
don't call set_handler any more. They call sigaction or signal themselves.

- Various cleanups in the sigio code.
- Removed explicit zero-initializations of a few structures.
- Improved some error messages.
- An API change - there was an asymmetry between reactivate_fd calling
maybe_sigio_broken, which goes through all the machinery of figuring out if
a file descriptor supports SIGIO and applying the workaround to it if not,
and deactivate_fd, which just turns off the descriptor.
This is changed so that only activate_fd calls maybe_sigio_broken, when
the descriptor is first seen. reactivate_fd now calls add_sigio_fd, which
is symmetric with ignore_sigio_fd.
This removes a recursion which makes a critical section look more critical
than it really was, obsoleting a big comment to that effect. This requires
keeping track of all descriptors which are getting the SIGIO treatment, not
just the ones being polled at any given moment, so that reactivate_fd,
through add_sigio_fd, doesn't try to tell the SIGIO thread about descriptors
it doesn't care about.

The current VMSPLIT Kconfig option is disabled whenever highmem is on.
This is a bit screwy because the people who need to change VMSPLIT the most
tend to be the ones with highmem and constrained lowmem.
So, remove the highmem dependency. But, re-include the dependency for the
"full 1GB of lowmem" option. You can't have the full 1GB of lowmem and
highmem because of the need for the vmalloc(), kmap(), etc... areas.

This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output
file.
To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to
start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly
create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them
appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous
section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S.
This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for
other architectures will be as simple.

external flash as a root filesystem. It might also be possible to update the

As suggested by David Woodhouse, I reworked the patches to use the physmap
driver instead of introducing a separate mapping driver for the ATSTK1000.
I've also cleaned up the hsmc header by removing useless comments and
converting spaces to tabs (my headerfile generator needs some work.)
Unfortunately, I couldn't unlock the flash in fixup_use_atmel_lock because the
erase regions hadn't been set up yet, so I had to do it from cfi_amdstd_setup
instead.

This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.
AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.
The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf
The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.
Full data sheet is available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf
while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf
Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918
including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.
Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.
This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.
Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone

The uncached allocator manages per node pools. Specify __GFP_THISNODE in
order to force allocation on the indicated node or fail. The uncached
allocator has already logic to deal with failing allocations.

Add a notifer chain to the out of memory killer. If one of the registered
callbacks could release some memory, do not kill the process but return and
retry the allocation that forced the oom killer to run.
The purpose of the notifier is to add a safety net in the presence of
memory ballooners. If the resource manager inflated the balloon to a size
where memory allocations can not be satisfied anymore, it is better to
deflate the balloon a bit instead of killing processes.
The implementation for the s390 ballooner is included.
