We need to indicate to the hypervisor that it needs to save our VMX
registers when switching partitions on a shared-processor system, just as
it needs to for FP and PMC registers.
This could be made to be on-demand when VMX is used, but we don't do that
for FP nor PMC right now either so let's not overcomplicate things.

Add declaration and cacheable_memcpy(). I'll be needing this function in
new 4xx EMAC driver I'm going to submit to netdev soon.
IMHO, the better place for the declaration would be asm-powerpc/string.h,
unfortunately, ppc64 doesn't have this function, so asm-ppc/system.h is the
next best place.

This patch adds a field to struct ocp_func_emac_data that allows
platform-specific unsupported PHY features to be passed in to the ibm_emac
ethernet driver.
This patch also adds some logic for the Bamboo eval board to populate this
field based on the dip switches on the board. This is a workaround for the
improperly biased RJ-45 sockets on the Rev. 0 Bamboo.

just for informational purposes.
The lack of this information was brought up recently during a discussion

Any architecture that has hardware updated A/D bits that require
synchronization against other processors during PTE operations can benefit
from doing non-atomic PTE updates during address space destruction.
Originally done on i386, now ported to x86_64.
Doing a read/write pair instead of an xchg() operation saves the implicit
lock, which turns out to be a big win on 32-bit (esp w PAE).

Add a new accessor for PTEs, which passes the full hint from the mmu_gather
struct; this allows architectures with hardware pagetables to optimize away
atomic PTE operations when destroying an address space. Removing the
locked operation should allow better pipelining of memory access in this
loop. I measured an average savings of 30-35 cycles per zap_pte_range on
the first 500 destructions on Pentium-M, but I believe the optimization
would win more on older processors which still assert the bus lock on xchg
for an exclusive cacheline.
Update: I made some new measurements, and this saves exactly 26 cycles over
ptep_get_and_clear on Pentium M. On P4, with a PAE kernel, this saves 180
cycles per ptep_get_and_clear, for a whopping 92160 cycles savings for a
full address space destruction.
pte_clear_full is not yet used, but is provided for future optimizations
(in particular, when running inside of a hypervisor that queues page table
updates, the full hint allows us to avoid queueing unnecessary page table
update for an address space in the process of being destroyed.
This is not a huge win, but it does help a bit, and sets the stage for
further hypervisor optimization of the mm layer on all architectures.

I don't think we need to call hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() anymore
in 2.6.13 because of the rework with free_pgtables(). It now collect
all the pte page at the time of munmap. It used to only collect page
table pages when entire one pgd can be freed and left with staled pte
pages. Not anymore with 2.6.13. This function will never be called
and We should turn it into a BUG_ON.
I also spotted two problems here, not Adam's fault :-)
(1) in huge_pte_alloc(), it looks like a bug to me that pud is not
checked before calling pmd_alloc()
(2) in hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(), it also missed a call to
pmd_free_tlb. I think a tlb flush is required to flush the mapping
for the page table itself when we clear out the pmd pointing to a
pte page. However, since hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() is never
called, so it won't trigger the bug.

Version 6 of the ARM architecture introduces the concept of 16MB pages
(supersections) and 36-bit (40-bit actually, but nobody uses this) physical
addresses. 36-bit addressed memory and I/O and ARMv6 can only be mapped
using supersections and the requirement on these is that both virtual and
physical addresses be 16MB aligned. In trying to add support for ioremap()
of 36-bit I/O, we run into the issue that get_vm_area() allows for a
maximum of 512K alignment via the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant. To work
around this, we can:
- Allocate a larger VM area than needed (size + (1ul << IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER))
and then align the pointer ourselves, but this ends up with 512K of
wasted VM per ioremap().
- Provide a new __get_vm_area_aligned() API and make __get_vm_area() sit
on top of this. I did this and it works but I don't like the idea
adding another VM API just for this one case.
- My preferred solution which is to allow the architecture to override
the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant with it's own version.

This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2
I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration. There was a
small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the
display of the locality of the pages in use by a process. I reworked that
patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information
about the vma's of a process. numa_maps is indexes by the start address
found in /proc/<pid>/maps. F.e. with this patch you can see the page use
of the "getty" process:

The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks. swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.
While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock. Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path. No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.
Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

The "Adding %dk swap" message shows the number of swap extents, as a guide to
how fragmented the swapfile may be. But a useful further guide is what total
extent they span across (sometimes scarily large).
And there's no need to keep nr_extents in swap_info: it's unused after the
initial message, so save a little space by keeping it on stack.

There are several comments that swap's extent_list.prev points to the lowest
extent: that's not so, it's extent_list.next which points to it, as you'd
expect. And a couple of loops in add_swap_extent which go all the way through
the list, when they should just add to the other end.
Fix those up, and let map_swap_page search the list forwards: profiles shows
it to be twice as quick that way - because prefetch works better on how the
structs are typically kmalloc'ed? or because usually more is written to than
read from swap, and swap is allocated ascendingly?

With cleanups from Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to
mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller
memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift
and load when fetching the memory section. The current SPARSEMEM
implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the
default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates the
implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME requires bootmem to be functioning at the time of
memory_present() calls. This is not always feasible, so architectures
which do not need it may allocate everything statically by using
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.

A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Architecture
platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to
select this option. For those architecture platforms that don't select the
option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm.
I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of
pointers to mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve
smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an
additional shift and load when fetching the memory section. The current
SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections
which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates
the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false.
I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.
I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
and tested with aim.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The prototype for sys_fadvise64_64() is:
long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice)
The argument list is therefore as follows on legacy ABI:
fd: type int (r0)
offset: type long long (r1-r2)
len: type long long (r3-sp[0])
advice: type int (sp[4])
With EABI this becomes:
fd: type int (r0)
offset: type long long (r2-r3)
len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
advice: type int (sp[8])
Not only do we have ABI differences here, but the EABI version requires
one additional word on the syscall stack.
To avoid the ABI mismatch and the extra stack space required with EABI
this syscall is now defined with a different argument ordering
on ARM as follows:
long sys_arm_fadvise64_64(int fd, int advice, loff_t offset, loff_t len)
This gives us the following ABI independent argument distribution:
fd: type int (r0)
advice: type int (r1)
offset: type long long (r2-r3)
len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
Now, since the syscall entry code takes care of 5 registers only by
default including the store of r4 to the stack, we need a wrapper to
store r5 to the stack as well. Because that wrapper was missing and was
always required this means that sys_fadvise64_64 never worked on ARM and
therefore we can safely reuse its syscall number for our new
sys_arm_fadvise64_64 interface.
