2005-11-07[PATCH] sh: Drop hp690 discontig supportPaul Mundt
There was only one board using this (hp690 specifically), and it just so happens that it's only physically discontiguous at the "normal" P1 offset. If we bump up the P1 offset, it's possible to hit a shadowed region of memory where we suddenly become magically contiguous. As people have been using this shadowed region workaround for quite some time (and without any adverse effects), it's time to drop the left over discontig bits that no longer have any practical use (it was always very much hp690-centric to begin with).

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: i386 sh sh64 ready for split ptlockHugh Dickins
Use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of pte_offset_map (or inappropriate pte_offset_kernel) and mm-wide page_table_lock, in sundry arch places. The i386 vm86 mark_screen_rdonly: yes, there was and is an assumption that the screen fits inside the one page table, as indeed it does. The sh __do_page_fault: which handles both kernel faults (without lock) and user mm faults (locked - though it set_pte without locking before). The sh64 flush_cache_range and helpers: which wrongly thought callers held page_table_lock before (only its tlb_start_vma did, and no longer does so); moved the flush loop down, and adjusted the large versus small range decision to consider a range which spans page tables as large.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlockHugh Dickins
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.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: sh64 hugetlbpage.cHugh Dickins
The sh64 hugetlbpage.c seems to be erroneous, left over from a bygone age, clashing with the common hugetlb.c. Replace it by a copy of the sh hugetlbpage.c. Except, delete that mk_pte_huge macro neither uses.

2005-06-21[PATCH] Hugepage consolidationDavid Gibson
A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six. Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64. Notes: - this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more analagous to set_pte() - does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
