Revert "x86_64: Quicklist support for x86_64"

2007-09-21T19:09:41Z

This reverts commit 34feb2c83beb3bdf13535a36770f7e50b47ef299. Suresh Siddha points out that this one breaks the fundamental requirement that you cannot free page table pages before the TLB caches are flushed. The quicklists do not give the same kinds of guarantees that the mmu_gather structure does, at least not in NUMA configurations.

x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text

2007-07-22T18:03:37Z

Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write protected by DEBUG_RODATA Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster. There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the comment. This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code. text_poke also supports multi byte patching now. Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu Desnoyers.

x86_64: Quicklist support for x86_64

2007-07-22T01:37:09Z

This adds caching of pgds and puds, pmds, pte. That way we can avoid costly zeroing and initialization of special mappings in the pgd. A second quicklist is useful to separate out PGD handling. We can carry the initialized pgds over to the next process needing them. Also clean up the pgd_list handling to use regular list macros. There is no need anymore to avoid the lru field. Move the add/removal of the pgds to the pgdlist into the constructor / destructor. That way the implementation is congruent with i386. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Cc: "David S.

mm: remove ptep_test_and_clear_dirty and ptep_clear_flush_dirty

2007-07-17T17:22:59Z

Nobody is using ptep_test_and_clear_dirty and ptep_clear_flush_dirty. Remove the functions from all architectures. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

page table handling cleanup

Kill pte_rdprotect(), pte_exprotect(), pte_mkread(), pte_mkexec(), pte_read(), pte_exec(), and pte_user() except where arch-specific code is making use of them. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Rework ptep_set_access_flags and fix sun4c

2007-06-16T20:16:16Z

Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults. This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

consolidate asm/const.h to linux/const.h

Clean up mostly unused IOSPACE macros

2007-05-08T18:15:13Z

Most architectures defined three macros, MK_IOSPACE_PFN(), GET_IOSPACE() and GET_PFN() in pgtable.h. However, the only callers of any of these macros are in Sparc specific code, either in arch/sparc, arch/sparc64 or drivers/sbus. This patch removes the redundant macros from all architectures except sparc and sparc64. Signed-off-by: David Gibson Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
