Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages). This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page. As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW. In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.
In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.
This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork. Useful e.g. for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages. Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.

Add enough arch-specific compat signals code to enable parisc64
to compile and boot out of the mainline tree. There are likely still
many dragons here, but this is a start to squashing the last
big difference between the mainline tree and the parisc-linux tree.
The remaining bugs can be squashed as they come up.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.
The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.
This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

We actually have two separate bad bugs
1. The read_lock implementation spins with disabled interrupts. This is
completely wrong
2. Our spin_lock_irqsave should check to see if interrupts were enabled
before the call and re-enable interrupts around the inner spin loop.
The problem is that if we spin with interrupts off, we can't receive
IPIs. This has resulted in a bug where SMP machines suddenly spit
smp_call_function timeout messages and hang.
The scenario I've caught is
CPU0 does a flush_tlb_all holding the vmlist_lock for write.
CPU1 tries a cat of /proc/meminfo which tries to acquire vmlist_lock for
read
CPU1 is now spinning with interrupts disabled
CPU0 tries to execute a smp_call_function to flush the local tlb caches
This is now a deadlock because CPU1 is spinning with interrupts disabled
and can never receive the IPI

Fix our interrupts not to use smp_call_function
On K and D class smp, the generic code calls this under an irq

There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch:
mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4,
but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6.
On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which
has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so
proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on
page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a
bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm,
so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there.
Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and
flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what
generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now
changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic
tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under
and sometimes not?).

Fix the alloc_slabmgmt panic
Hopefully this should also fix a lot of other intermittent kernel bugs.
The problem has been around since 2.6.9-rc2-pa6 when we allowed
floating point registers to be used in kernel code. The essence of
the problem is that gcc prefers to use floating point for integer
divides and multiples. Further, it can rely on the values in the no
clobber fp regs being correct across a function call. Unfortunately,
our task switch function only saves the integer no clobber registers,
not the fp ones, so if gcc makes a function call to any function in
the kernel which could sleep, the values it is relying on in any no
clobber floating point register may be lost. In the case of
alloc_slabmgmt, the value of the page offset is being stored in %fr12
across a call to kmem_getpages(), which sleeps if no pages are
available. Thus, the offset can be trashed and the slab code can end
up with a completely bogus address leading to corruption.
Kudos to Randolph who came up with the program to trip this problem at
will and thus allowed it to be tracked and fixed.

Fixup bitops.h to use volatile for *_bit() ops
Based on this email thread:

In a nutshell:
*_bit() want use of volatile.
__*_bit() are "relaxed" and don't use spinlock or volatile.
other minor changes:
o replaces hweight64() macro with alias to generic_hweight64() (Joel Soete)
o cleanup ext2* macros so (a) it's obvious what the XOR magic is about
and (b) one version that works for both 32/64-bit.
o replace 2 uses of CONFIG_64BIT with __LP64__. bitops.h used both.
