Remove page_count and __put_page from x86-64 pageattr Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-22[PATCH] x86_64: pageattr use single listNick Piggin
Use page->lru.next to implement the singly linked list of pages rather than the struct deferred_page which needs to be allocated and freed for each page.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86/x86_64: mark rodata section read only: generic x86-64 bugfixArjan van de Ven
Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64: when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms. This is fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last part of the kernel .text! The fix is to not invent a new permission for the new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

2005-10-10[PATCH] x86_64: Fix change_page_attr cache flushingAndi Kleen
Noticed by Terence Ripperda Undo wrong change in global_flush_tlb. We need to flush the caches in all cases, not just when pages were reverted. This was a bogus optimization added earlier, but it was wrong. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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!
