Currently a direct-IO read or write of more than 2G on 64-bit machines is
broken.  Replace int with ssize_t in various places to fix that up.

On some larger ppc64 configurations /proc/device-tree is exhausting procfs'
dynamic (non-pid) inode range (16K).  This patch makes the dynamic inode
range 0xf0000000-0xffffffff and changes the inode number allocator to use
the idr.c allocator for the first-fit allocations.

- Adds idr_get_new_above(), whihc permits us to do a first-fit search
  from a specified offset rather than always from zero.

- Add IDR_INIT() DEFINE_IDR() constructors.  Often idr's are singletons
  and having to cook up an initcall for them is a pain.

This is needed by the "Increase number of dynamic inodes in procfs" patch.

A few weeks ago, Pavel and I agreed that PF_IOTHREAD should be renamed to
PF_NOFREEZE.  This reflects the fact that some threads so marked aren't
actually used for IO while suspending, but simply shouldn't be frozen.
This patch, against 2.6.5 vanilla, applies that change.  In the
refrigerator calls, the actual value doesn't matter (so long as it's
non-zero) and it makes more sense to use PF_FREEZE so I've used that.

This patch adds the posix message queue syscalls to ppc32 and 64 and fixes
our implementation of compat copy siginfo to 32 bits userland which wasn't
using the si_code but still doing a switch/case on the signal number.

I also reserved some syscalls for the numa API

This removes a number of unnecessary includes from the ARM specific
files throughout the kernel.  Most notably asm/pgalloc.h is
needlessly included in several places.  There were some places
including it as a means to get at the cache flushing functions,
so this has been corrected.

This is my brown paper bag day, I sent you the wrong patch for
fixing the deadlock in rtas.c, here's one to apply on top of current
bk that fixes build.

People still build modules wrong, particularly without -fno-common.  The
resulting modules don't load, but we should at least warn about it.

Reduce the locking coverage of the oft-used j_list_lock: the per-bh

The earlier changes introducing PageAnon left truncated pages mapped into
nonlinear vmas unswappable.  Once we go to object-based rmap, it's
impossible to find where file page is mapped once page->mapping cleared:
switching them to anonymous is odd, and breaks strict commit accounting.

So now handle truncation of nonlinear vmas correctly.  And factor in
Daniel's cluster filesystem needs while we're there: when invalidating
local cache, we do want to unmap shared pages from all mms, but we do not
want to discard private COWed modifications of those pages (which
truncation discards to satisfy the SIGBUS semantics demanded by specs).

Drew from Daniel's patch (LKML 2 Mar 04), but didn't always follow it;
fewer name changes, but still some - "unmap" rather than "invalidate".
zap_page_range is not exported, safe to give it and all the too-many layers
an extra zap_details arg, in normal cases just NULL.

Given details, zap_pte_range checks page mapping or index to skip anon or
untruncated pages.  I didn't realize before implementing, that in nonlinear
case, it should set a file pte when truncating - otherwise linear pages
might appear in place of SIGBUS.  I suspect this implies that ->populate
functions ought to set file ptes beyond EOF instead of failing, but haven't
changed them as yet.

To avoid making yet another copy of that ugly linear pgidx test, added
inline function linear_page_index (to pagemap.h to get PAGE_CACHE_SIZE,
though as usual things don't really work if it differs from PAGE_SIZE). 
Ooh, I thought I'd removed ___add_to_page_cache last time, do so now.

unmap_page_range static, shift its hugepage check up into sole caller
unmap_vmas.  Killed "killme" debug from unmap_vmas, not seen it trigger.
unmap_mapping_range is exported without restriction: I'm one of those who
believe it should be generally available.  But I'm wrongly placed to decide
that, probably just sob quietly to myself if _GPL added later.

Good example of "swapper_space considered harmful": swap_unplug_io_fn was
originally designed for calling via swapper_space.backing_dev_info; but
that way it loses track of which device is to be unplugged, so had to
unplug all swap devices.  But now sync_page tests SwapCache anyway, can
call swap_unplug_io_fn with page, which leads direct to the device.

Reverted -mc4's CONFIG_SWAP=n fix, just add another NOTHING for it.
Reverted -mc3's editorial adjustments to swap_backing_dev_info and
swapper_space initializations: they document the few fields which are
actually used now, as comment above them says (sound of slapped wrist).

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

One of the callers of flush_dcache_page is do_generic_mapping_read, where
file is read without i_sem and without page lock: concurrent truncation may
at any moment remove page from cache, NULLing ->mapping, making
flush_dcache_page liable to oops.  Put result of page_mapping in a local
variable and apply mapping_mapped to that (if we were to check for NULL
within mapping_mapped, it's unclear whether to say yes or no).

parisc and arm do have other locking unsafety in their i_mmap(_shared)
searching, but that's a larger issue to be dealt with down the line.

My RTAS locking fixes incorrectly added a spinlock around the function used
to stop a CPU, that function never returns, thus the lock becomes stale.
The correct fix is to disable interrupts instead (the RTAS params beeing
per-CPU, this should be safe enough)

But obviously only if we're not passing in any offset pointer.

This is how 2.4.x worked, and vsftpd relies on it.

Bug reported by Chris < chris@scary.beasts.org>

This adds detailed documentation concerning how we map the Linux
page table structure onto the hardware tables on ARM.  In addition,
it also adds documentation describing how we emulate the "dirty"
and "young" or "accessed" page table bits.

This should be of interest to Linux MM developers.

It occurred to me that if vma and new_vma are one and the same, then
vma_relink_file will not do a good job of linking it after itself - in
that pretty unlikely case when move_page_tables fails.

And more generally, whenever copy_vma's vma_merge succeeds, we have no
guarantee that old vma comes before new_vma in the i_mmap lists, as we
need to satisfy Rajesh's point: that ordering is only guaranteed in the
newly allocated case.

We have to abandon the ordering method when/if we move from lists to
prio_trees, so this patch switches to the less glamorous use of
i_shared_sem exclusion, as in my prio_tree mremap.

The field in question is
  a) unused
  b) damn next to impossible to use correctly, due to struct super_block
     lifetime and locking rules.

Update serial to use new module parameters rather than
MODULE_PARM.

into ppc970.osdl.org:/home/torvalds/v2.6/linux

Patch from: Pavel Roskin

As it turns out, mixing MODULE_PARM and module_param in one module is
wrong.  The parameters specified in module_param are ignored.  I've just
posted a patch to LKML that will detect this condition and warn about it.

The new debugging code used the new-style module_param, which means that
all instances of MODULE_PARM should be converted.  The attached patch does
that.

An additional bonus is that module_param_array provides the number of
array elements.  This allowed me to change tcic.c and i82365.c to use
this number for IRQ list.  This change was tested with i82365.  If
"irq_list" is not specified, irq_list_count is 0.

I set all permissions to 0444 to be safe.  I think we have no secrets
from the users regarding those parameters.  If some parameters can be
changed safely at the runtime, the permissions could be changed to 0644.
I didn't examine how safe (and how useful) it would be, so it's 0444 for
now.

rmk mentioned that ARM was borked as the relation, assumed by generic rmap,
PTRS_PER_PTE*sizeof(pte_t) == PAGE_SIZE, fails to hold.  The following
patch, developed jointly with him (or depending on POV, by him with me
acting as codemonkey), is reported to resolve the issue.

Specifically, while ARM dedicates an entire PAGE_SIZE -sized block of
memory to each PTE table, the PTE table itself only spans half that, the
remainder being dedicated to hardware-interpreted structures.  As the
hardware structure must be contiguous, wider ptes can't be used.  So the
core-visible PTE table only spans PAGE_SIZE/2 bytes, violating the
assumption.  This corrects masking and scaling done in ptep_to_address().

Any user can delete any entries in a mqueue mounted filesystem.  The attached
patch prevents that.

- remove the writable test from mq_unlink.

- set the sticky bit in the root inode.  This affects both mq_unlink and
  sys_unlink: only the owner (and root) should be allowed to remove queues.
