arches: drop superfluous casts in nr_free_pages() callers

2009-09-22T14:17:34+00:00

Commit 96177299416dbccb73b54e6b344260154a445375 ("Drop free_pages()")
modified nr_free_pages() to return 'unsigned long' instead of 'unsigned
int'.  This made the casts to 'unsigned long' in most callers superfluous,
so remove them.

Move FAULT_FLAG_xyz into handle_mm_fault() callers

2009-06-21T20:08:22+00:00

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault().  All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room
for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY
when that support is added.

alpha: bad macro expansion, parameter is member

2009-06-17T02:47:46+00:00

`for_each_mem_cluster(x, y, z)' will expand to
`for ((x) = (y)->x ...' but correct is `for ((x) = (y)->cluster ...'

module: trim exception table on init free.

2009-06-12T12:17:04+00:00

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules.  These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup.  The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).

Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.

This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code.  Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.

Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

alpha: exception table sorting

2009-05-02T22:36:10+00:00

Exception fixups for sections other than .text (like one in futex_init())
break the natural ordering of fixup entries, so sorting is required.

Without that the result of the exception table search depends on phase of
the moon.

vmalloc: add @align to vm_area_register_early()

2009-02-24T02:57:21+00:00

Impact: allow larger alignment for early vmalloc area allocation

Some early vmalloc users might want larger alignment, for example, for
custom large page mapping.  Add @align to vm_area_register_early().
While at it, drop docbook comment on non-existent @size.

vmalloc: implement vm_area_register_early()

2009-02-20T07:29:08+00:00

Impact: allow multiple early vm areas

There are places where kernel VM area needs to be allocated before
vmalloc is initialized.  This is done by allocating static vm_struct,
initializing several fields and linking it to vmlist and later vmalloc
initialization picking up these from vmlist.  This is currently done
manually and if there's more than one such areas, there's no defined
way to arbitrate who gets which address.

This patch implements vm_area_register_early(), which takes vm_area
struct with flags and size initialized, assigns address to it and puts
it on the vmlist.  This way, multiple early vm areas can determine
which addresses they should use.  The only current user - alpha mm
init - is converted to use it.

alpha: use generic show_mem()

2008-07-26T19:00:10+00:00

Remove arch-specific show_mem() in favor of the generic version.

This also removes the following redundant information display:

	- free pages, printed by show_free_areas()
	- free swap pages, printed by show_swap_cache_info()
	- pages in swapcache, printed by show_swap_cache_info()

where show_mem() calls show_free_areas(), which calls
show_swap_cache_info().
