Now that the arch_{spin,read,write}_relax macros default to cpu_relax(),
remove the redundant definitions for parisc.

The attached change removes the unused and experimental
CONFIG_PARISC_TMPALIAS code. It doesn't work and I don't believe it will
ever be used.

<content type='text'>
Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in
http://lwn.net/Articles/91829). This is especially very interesting on
parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a
64bit Linux kernel).

This commit:
f8dae00684d678afa13041ef170cecfd1297ed40: parisc: Ensure full cache coherency for kmap/kunmap
caused negative caching side-effects, e.g. hanging processes with expect and
too many inequivalent alias messages from flush_dcache_page() on Debian 5 systems.

This patch now partly reverts it and has been in production use on our debian buildd
makeservers since a week without any major problems.

 3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa and Daniel Borkmann.

    from Ben Hutchings.

 6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet.  Basically, if we

    Subramanian.

    address.  From Christoph Paasch.

21) Support 10G in generic phylib.  From Andy Fleming.

22) Try to short-circuit GRO flow compares using device provided RX
    hash, if provided.  From Tom Herbert.

The wireless and netfilter folks have been busy little bees too.

We're going to be adding a few new barrier primitives, and in order to
avoid endless duplication make more agressive use of
asm-generic/barrier.h.

Change the asm-generic/barrier.h such that it allows partial barrier
definitions and fills out the rest with defaults.

There are a few architectures (m32r, m68k) that could probably
do away with their barrier.h file entirely but are kept for now due to
their unconventional nop() implementation.

<title>parisc: Ensure full cache coherency for kmap/kunmap</title>

<id>f8dae00684d678afa13041ef170cecfd1297ed40</id>
<content type='text'>
Helge Deller noted a few weeks ago problems with the AIO support on
parisc. This change is the result of numerous iterations on how best to
deal with this problem.

The solution adopted here is to provide full cache coherency in a
uniform manner on all parisc systems. This involves calling
flush_dcache_page() on kmap operations and flush_kernel_dcache_page() on
kunmap operations. As a result, the copy_user_page() and
clear_user_page() functions can be removed and the overall code is
simpler.

The change ensures that both userspace and kernel aliases to a mapped
page are invalidated and flushed. This is necessary for the correct
operation of PA8800 and PA8900 based systems which do not support
inequivalent aliases.

With this change, I have observed no cache related issues on c8000 and
rp3440. It is now possible for example to do kernel builds with "-j64"
on four way systems.

On systems using XFS file systems, the patch recently posted by Mikulas
Patocka to "fix crash using XFS on loopback" is needed to avoid a hang
caused by an uninitialized lock passed to flush_dcache_page() in the
page struct.

Helge Deller noted a few weeks ago problems with the AIO support on
parisc. This change is the result of numerous iterations on how best to
deal with this problem.

The solution adopted here is to provide full cache coherency in a
uniform manner on all parisc systems. This involves calling
flush_dcache_page() on kmap operations and flush_kernel_dcache_page() on
kunmap operations. As a result, the copy_user_page() and
clear_user_page() functions can be removed and the overall code is
simpler.

The change ensures that both userspace and kernel aliases to a mapped
page are invalidated and flushed. This is necessary for the correct
operation of PA8800 and PA8900 based systems which do not support
inequivalent aliases.
