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.

When running with a 16M IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER (on armv7) we found that the
vmlist search routine in __get_vm_area_node can mistakenly allow a driver
to ioremap a range larger than vmalloc space.
If at the time of the ioremap all existing vmlist areas sit below the
determined alignment then the search routine continues past all entries and
exits the for loop - straight into the found: label - without ever testing
for integer wrapping or that the requested size fits.
We were seeing a driver successfully ioremap 128M of flash even though
there was only 120M of vmalloc space. From that point the system was left
with the remainder of the first 16M of space to vmalloc/ioremap within.

We already have page table manipulation for vmalloc in vmalloc.c. Move the
vmalloc_to_page() function there as well.
Move the definitions for vmalloc related functions in mm.h to a newly created
section. A better place would be vmalloc.h but mm.h is basic and may depend
on these functions. An alternative would be to include vmalloc.h in mm.h
(like done for vmstat.h).

The function of GFP_LEVEL_MASK seems to be unclear. In order to clear up
the mystery we get rid of it and replace GFP_LEVEL_MASK with 3 sets of GFP
flags:
GFP_RECLAIM_MASK Flags used to control page allocator reclaim behavior.
GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK Flags used to limit where allocations can occur.
GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK Flags that the slab allocator BUG()s on.
These replace the uses of GFP_LEVEL mask in the slab allocators and in
vmalloc.c.
The use of the flags not included in these sets may occur as a result of a
slab allocation standing in for a page allocation when constructing scatter
gather lists. Extraneous flags are cleared and not passed through to the
page allocator. __GFP_MOVABLE/RECLAIMABLE, __GFP_COLD and __GFP_COMP will
now be ignored if passed to a slab allocator.
Change the allocation of allocator meta data in SLAB and vmalloc to not
pass through flags listed in GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK. SLAB already removes the
__GFP_THISNODE flag for such allocations. Generalize that to also cover
vmalloc. The use of GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK also includes __GFP_HARDWALL.
The impact of allocator metadata placement on access latency to the
cachelines of the object itself is minimal since metadata is only
referenced on alloc and free. The attempt is still made to place the meta
data optimally but we consistently allow fallback both in SLAB and vmalloc
(SLUB does not need to allocate metadata like that).
Allocator metadata may serve multiple in kernel users and thus should not
be subject to the limitations arising from a single allocation context.

math_state_restore:
When the guest triggers a Device Not Available fault, we need
to be able to restore the FPU
__put_task_struct:
We need to hold a reference to another task for inter-guest
I/O, and put_task_struct() is an inline function which calls
__put_task_struct.
access_process_vm:
We need to access another task for inter-guest I/O.

We need to map the switcher shim (ie. monitor) at 0xFFC01000.

I've noticed lots of failures of vmalloc_32 on machines where it
shouldn't have failed unless it was doing an atomic operation.
Looking closely, I noticed that:
#if defined(CONFIG_64BIT) && defined(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32)
#define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_DMA32
#elif defined(CONFIG_64BIT) && defined(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA)
#define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_DMA
#else
#define GFP_VMALLOC32 GFP_KERNEL
#endif
Which seems to be incorrect, it should always -or- in the DMA flags
on top of GFP_KERNEL, thus this patch.
This fixes frequent errors launchin X with the nouveau DRM for example.

This makes unmap_vm_area static and a wrapper around a new
exported unmap_kernel_range that takes an explicit range instead
of a vm_area struct.
This makes it more versatile for code that wants to play with kernel
page tables outside of the standard vmalloc area.
(One example is some rework of the PowerPC PCI IO space mapping
code that depends on that patch and removes some code duplication
and horrible abuse of forged struct vm_struct).

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Recently, __get_vm_area_node() was changed like following
if (unlikely(!area))
return NULL;
- if (unlikely(!size)) {
- kfree (area);
+ if (unlikely(!size))
return NULL;
- }
It is leaking `area', also original code seems strange already.

As reported by Martin J. Bligh <mbligh@google.com>, we let through some
non-slab bits to slab allocation through __get_vm_area_node when doing a
vmalloc.
I haven't been able to reproduce this, although I understand why it
happens: vmalloc allocates memory with
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM
and commit 52fd24ca1db3a741f144bbc229beefe044202cac resulted in the same
flags are passed down to cache_alloc_refill, causing the BUG. The
following patch fixes it.
Note that when calling kmalloc_node, I am masking off __GFP_HIGHMEM with
GFP_LEVEL_MASK, whereas __vmalloc_area_node does the same with
~(__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_ZERO).
IMHO, using GFP_LEVEL_MASK is preferable, but either should fix this
problem.

context, the chain of calls results in __get_vm_area_node allocating memory
for vm_struct with GFP_KERNEL, causing the 'sleeping from invalid context'

Generic lock debugging:
- generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
- got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
- ability to do silent tests
- check lock freeing in vfree too.
- more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
turn off more expensive debugging features.
There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
checks whether we are holding a lock already)
Here are the current debugging options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
which do:
config DEBUG_MUTEXES
bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes"

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

Version 6 of the ARM architecture introduces the concept of 16MB pages
(supersections) and 36-bit (40-bit actually, but nobody uses this) physical
addresses. 36-bit addressed memory and I/O and ARMv6 can only be mapped
using supersections and the requirement on these is that both virtual and
physical addresses be 16MB aligned. In trying to add support for ioremap()
of 36-bit I/O, we run into the issue that get_vm_area() allows for a
maximum of 512K alignment via the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant. To work
around this, we can:
- Allocate a larger VM area than needed (size + (1ul << IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER))
and then align the pointer ourselves, but this ends up with 512K of
wasted VM per ioremap().
- Provide a new __get_vm_area_aligned() API and make __get_vm_area() sit
on top of this. I did this and it works but I don't like the idea
adding another VM API just for this one case.
- My preferred solution which is to allow the architecture to override
the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant with it's own version.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.
