<content type='text'>
Move the ZERO_PAGE remapping complexity to the move_pte macro in
asm-generic, have it conditionally depend on
__HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, which gets defined for MIPS.

For architectures without __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, move_pte becomes
a noop.

From: Hugh Dickins &lt;hugh@veritas.com&gt;

Fix nasty little bug we've missed in Nick's mremap move ZERO_PAGE patch.
The "pte" at that point may be a swap entry or a pte_file entry: we must
check pte_present before perhaps corrupting such an entry.

Patch below against 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, but the same bug is in 2.6.14-rc2's
mm/mremap.c, and more dangerous there since it's affecting all arches: I
think the safest course is to send Nick's patch and Yoichi's build fix and
this fix (build tested) on to Linus - so only MIPS can be affected.

<title>[PATCH] spinlock consolidation</title>

<id>fb1c8f93d869b34cacb8b8932e2b83d96a19d720</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
things:

 - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code

 - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files

 - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
   features (such as -&gt;break_lock) into the generic code.

 - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.

Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)

Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.

The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:

 include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16

I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:

   SMP                         |  UP
   ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
   asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
   linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
   asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
   linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
   linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h

/*
 * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
 *
 * on SMP builds:
 *
 *  asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
 *                        initializers
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
 *                        defines the generic type and initializers
 *
 *  asm/spinlock.h:       contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
 *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
 *
 *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
 *                        contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
 *
 *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.
 *
 * on UP builds:
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
 *                        contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
 *                        (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
 *                        defines the generic type and initializers
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_up.h:
 *                        contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
 *                        builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
 *                        builds)
 *
 *   (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
 *                        builds the _spin_*() APIs.
 *
 *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.
 */

All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.

arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers.  m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.

From: Grant Grundler &lt;grundler@parisc-linux.org&gt;

  Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
  Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
  non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.

  I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
  some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
  are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
  expect any new issues to arise with them.

 If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
  need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
  that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
  (load and clear word).
