<content type='text'>
s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most).  Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:

vm_normal_page()
{
	...
        if (unlikely(vma-&gt;vm_flags &amp; (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                if (vma-&gt;vm_flags &amp; VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
				return NULL;
#else
                        if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                return NULL;
#endif
                        goto out;
                }
	...
}

This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes.  So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):

vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
		return NULL;
	return pte_page(pte);
#else
	...
#endif
}

And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits.  This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.

So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c.  It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.

BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

Some 64-bit tlb fixes -
	moved pmd_page_vaddr to pgtable.h since it's the same for both
2-level and 3-level page tables
	fixed a bogus cast on pud_page_vaddr
	made the address checking in update_*_range more careful

Turn um_virt_to_phys into virt_to_pte, cleaning up a horrid interface.

It's also made non-static and declared in pgtable.h because it'll be
needed when the stubs get a vma.

<content type='text'>
Get the sizes of various pieces of data right when using three-level
page tables.  pgd and pmd entries remain at 32 bits in a 32-bit
compilation because page tables will remain in low memory.  So,
PGDIR_SHIFT, the PTRS_PER_* values, set_pud, set_pmd are conditional
on 64BIT.

More use of phys_t is made when there are physical memory addresses
floating around.

ObCheckpatchViolationJustification - the new typedef is an alternate
definition of pmd_t, which I can't really live without.

<title>uml: header untangling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8192ab42bf60e1e9b7efa046990e9cc5e4a95cf4</id>
<content type='text'>
Untangle UML headers somewhat and add some includes where they were
needed explicitly, but gotten accidentally via some other header.

arch/um/include/um_uaccess.h loses asm/fixmap.h because it uses no
fixmap stuff and gains elf.h, because it needs FIXADDR_USER_*, and
archsetjmp.h, because it needs jmp_buf.

pmd_alloc_one is uninlined because it needs mm_struct, and that's
inconvenient to provide in asm-um/pgtable-3level.h.

elf_core_copy_fpregs is also uninlined from elf-i386.h and
elf-x86_64.h, which duplicated the code anyway, to
arch/um/kernel/process.c, so that the reference to current_thread
doesn't pull sched.h or anything related into asm/elf.h.

arch/um/sys-i386/ldt.c, arch/um/kernel/tlb.c and
arch/um/kernel/skas/uaccess.c got sched.h because they dereference
task_structs.  Its includes of linux and asm headers got turned from
"" to &lt;&gt;.

arch/um/sys-i386/bug.c gets asm/errno.h because it needs errno
constants.

asm/elf-i386 gets asm/user.h because it needs user_regs_struct.

asm/fixmap.h gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK and
system.h for BUG_ON.

asm/pgtable doesn't need sched.h.

asm/processor-generic.h defined mm_segment_t, but didn't use it.  So,
that definition is moved to uaccess.h, which defines a bunch of
mm_segment_t-related stuff.  thread_info.h uses mm_segment_t, and
includes uaccess.h, which causes a recursion.  So, the definition is
placed above the include of thread_info. in uaccess.h.  thread_info.h
also gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE.

ObCheckpatchViolationJustification - I'm not adding a typedef; I'm
moving mm_segment_t from one place to another.

<id>urn:sha1:9157f90f08f7db3188cd06971f41cb2ba5646e57</id>
<content type='text'>
This patchset makes UML build and run with three-level page tables on
32-bit hosts.  This is an uncommon use case, but the code here needed
fixing and cleaning up, so 32-bit three-level pages tables were tested
to make sure the changes are good.

Patch 1 - code movement
Patch 2 - header untangling
Patch 3 - style fixups in files affected so far
Patch 4 - clean up use of current.h
Patch 5 - fix sizes of types that are different between 2 and 3-level
	page tables - three-level page table support should build at
	this point
Patch 6 - tidy (i.e. eliminate much of) the code that figures out how
	big the address space is
Patch 7 - change um_virt_to_phys into virt_to_pte, clean its
	interface, and clean its (so far) one caller
Patch 8 - the stub pages are covered with a VMA, allowing some nasty
	code to be thrown out - three-level page tables now work

This patch:

um_virt_to_phys only has one user, so it can be moved to the same file
and made static.  Its declarations in pgtable.h and ksyms.c are also
gone.

current_cmd was another apparent user, but it itself isn't used, so it
is deleted.

The earlier pgtable.h tidying patch made things a bit too tidy.  Add
back a header which is needed in VMALLOC_START and friend.  Also add
back a definition of pmd_page_vaddr, which is needed on x86_64.
