From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Currently the flag indicating whether or not hugepages are allowed below 4GB is not correctly propagated across fork(), which can lead to oopses. The patch below fixes this.

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> Contributions from: Jan Dittmer <jdittmer@sfhq.hn.org> Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> "Bryan O'Sullivan" <bos@serpentine.com> "David S. Miller" <davem@redhat.com> Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com> Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@linuxpower.ca> It has ben tested on x86, sparc64, x86_64, ia64 (I think), ppc and ppc64. cpumask_t enables systems with NR_CPUS > BITS_PER_LONG to utilize all their cpus by creating an abstract data type dedicated to representing cpu bitmasks, similar to fd sets from userspace, and sweeping the appropriate code to update callers to the access API. The fd set-like structure is according to Linus' own suggestion; the macro calling convention to ambiguate representations with minimal code impact is my own invention. Specifically, a new set of inline functions for manipulating arbitrary-width bitmaps is introduced with a relatively simple implementation, in tandem with a new data type representing bitmaps of width NR_CPUS, cpumask_t, whose accessor functions are defined in terms of the bitmap manipulation inlines. This bitmap ADT found an additional use in i386 arch code handling sparse physical APIC ID's, which was convenient to use in this case as the accounting structure was required to be wider to accommodate the physids consumed by larger numbers of cpus. For the sake of simplicity and low code impact, these cpu bitmasks are passed primarily by value; however, an additional set of accessors along with an auxiliary data type with const call-by-reference semantics is provided to address performance concerns raised in connection with very large systems, such as SGI's larger models, where copying and call-by-value overhead would be prohibitive. Few (if any) users of the call-by-reference API are immediately introduced. Also, in order to avoid calling convention overhead on architectures where structures are required to be passed by value, NR_CPUS <= BITS_PER_LONG is special-cased so that cpumask_t falls back to an unsigned long and the accessors perform the usual bit twiddling on unsigned longs as opposed to arrays thereof. Audits were done with the structure overhead in-place, restoring this special-casing only afterward so as to ensure a more complete API conversion while undergoing the majority of its end-user exposure in -mm. More -mm's were shipped after its restoration to be sure that was tested, too. The immediate users of this functionality are Sun sparc64 systems, SGI mips64 and ia64 systems, and IBM ia32, ppc64, and s390 systems. Of these, only the ppc64 machines needing the functionality have yet to be released; all others have had systems requiring it for full functionality for at least 6 months, and in some cases, since the initial Linux port to the affected architecture.

switch_mm and enter_lazy_tlb take a CPU arg, which is always smp_processor_id(). This is misleading, and pointless if they use per-cpu variables or other optimizations. gcc will eliminate redundant smp_processor_id() (in inline functions) anyway. This removes that arg from all the architectures.

to properly de-activate it and make the child_tid logic work correctly. Clear %fs/%gs in deactivate_mm() on x86, since our LDT will no longer be valid after this. Update mm_release() to deactivate MM state before releasing, and avoid the expensive child_tid FUTEX if we're the last user of the MM.
