Apparently UML cannot stomach callee reg-saving trickery
introduced with d61931d89be506372d01a90d1755f6d0a9fafe2d
(x86: Add optimized popcnt variants) and oopses during boot:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=127522065202435&amp;w=2

Redirect arch_hweight.h include from the x86 portion to the generic
arch_hweight.h which is a fallback to the software hweight routines.

dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device supports a partial sync so there is no
point to have dma_sync_single_range (also dma_sync_single was obsoleted
long ago, replaced with dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device).

There is no user of dma_sync_single_range() in mainline and only Alpha
architecture supports dma_sync_single_range().  So it's unlikely that
someone out of the tree uses it.

<title>um: use generic ptrace_resume code</title>

<id>1bd095083558928cc3b36b826422d69bcd743dca</id>
<content type='text'>
Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in &lt;asm/ptrace.h&gt; and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.

XXX: I'm not sure arch_has_single_step() is placed in the exactly correct
location, please verify in which of the ptrace headers it should really
be.

<title>MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself</title>
<updated>2010-02-20T16:41:46+00:00</updated>

<id>4b3073e1c53a256275f1079c0fbfbe85883d9275</id>
<content type='text'>
On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.

This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():

  On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
  to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
  more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
  pte_t?

Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

  Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
  -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
  for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
  _PAGE_EXEC.

So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

<id>559df2e0210352f83926d178c40c51142292a18c</id>

The simplest method was to add an extra asm-offsets.h
file in arch/$ARCH/include/asm that references the generated file.

We can now migrate the architectures one-by-one to reference
the generated file direct - and when done we can delete the
temporary arch/$ARCH/include/asm/asm-offsets.h file.

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm-&gt;cpu_vm_mask.

It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).
