Enabling L2 prefetching improves performance as shown on Panda
ES2.1 board with mem test, and it has measurable impact on
performances. I think we should consider it, even though it damages
"writes" a bit. (rebased to k.org)
Usually the prefetch is used at both levels together L1 + L2, however,
to enable the CP15 prefetch engines, these are under security, and on
GP devices, we cannot enable it(e.g. on PandaBoard). However, just
enabling PL310 prefetch seems to provide performance improvement,
as shown in the data below (from Ubuntu) and would be a great thing
to pull in.

What prefetch does is enable automatic next line prefetching. With this
enabled, whenever the PL310 receives a cachable read request, it
automatically prefetches the following cache line as well.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the
vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local
attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.

bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.

Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the
cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the
SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the
v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and
flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned
to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary.
Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing
cache operations.
While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside
the buffer.

Because the nwfpe support is unlikely to be used on new platforms
and requires CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT, which is not generally used with
ARMv7+, we shouldn't expect to build nwfpe support into a Thumb-2
kernel.

At present, nwfpe contains assembly code which isn't Thumb-2
compatible, and for now it doesn't appear useful to port this
code.

All ARMv7-A/R platforms necessarily have VFPv3 hardware floating-

This makes sense, because Thumb-2 code can't execute on plain
ARMv6 processors.

This will avoid accidentally configuring a broken kernel where the
config otherwise would allow multiple architecture versions to
coexist in the same kernel.

Not adding !CPU_V5 etc., because the chance of anyone trying to
put v5 and v7 in the same kernel is low, and I'm not aware of
any mach which can do this.  These could be added later if it
matters.

Note that the rules may need to be refined if support for the
ARM1156J(F)-S processor is later added to the kernel, since this
processor supports the rare ARMv6T2 extensions, which add support
for Thumb-2 and a few other ARMv7 features.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:

psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581

Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's.  Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page().  The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.

To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:

begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;

If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.

This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.
