David Mosberger-Tang 30325d1771 [IA64] speed up syscall path a bit more
Recently I noticed that clearing ar.ssd/ar.csd right before srlz.d is
causing significant stalling in the syscall path.  The patch below
fixes that by moving the register-writes after srlz.d.  On a Madison,
this drops break-based getpid() from 241 to 226 cycles (-15 cycles).

Keith Owens e8d1cb2f28 [IA64] Tighten up unw_unwind_to_user check
Detect user space by the unwind frame with predicate PRED_USER_STACK
set, instead of a user space IP.  Tighten up the last ditch check for
running off the top of the kernel stack.

Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current
tree.  This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels.
Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so
gdb can get the user space registers.

Ashok Raj b8d8b883e6 [IA64] cpu hotplug: return offlined cpus to SAL
This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code
just fakes the real offline by keeping it run the idle thread, and polling
for the bit to re-appear in the cpu_state to get out of the idle loop.

For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU 
back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the
SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA
events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL
for global MCA events as well. The handoff is implemented as documented in 
SAL specification section 3.2.5.1 "OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to SAL return State"

Arun Sharma 7130667107 [IA64] ia32_signal.c: erroneous use of memset/memcpy
Found by Alexander Nyberg, improved by Bjorn Helgaas.

- Fix the incorrect argument to sizeof()
- looks like memcpy() code pass was dervived from code that used
  copy_from_user().  But in this case we are doing to kernel space
  to kernel space copy, so memcpy is the right routine, but it
  doesn't return an error code.

Hugh Dickins 3bf5ee9564 [PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_range
ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being
called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.

The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere
and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
motions of freeing nothing.  Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to
ppc64 the special case of skipping them.

The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it
probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another
region into the hugetlb region.

In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in
the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page
at the bottom is larger.  Here we need to scale down each addr before passing
it to the standard free_pgd_range.  Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down
macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose.  Fixed
off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.

Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64.  Make sure the
vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any
other (safe to join huges?  probably but don't bother).

Hugh Dickins e0da382c92 [PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list
Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level
clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its
long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level
page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on
ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables.

Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by
free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same
way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables.  This
brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled,
in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput).

Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region
instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and
can only be freed while it is touched by some vma.

Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted
from the clear_page_range levels.  (Most of free_pgtables' old code was
actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before
hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we
might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going
by vma should itself reduce latency.

But what if is_hugepage_only_range?  Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful
examination: put that off until a later patch of the series.

What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma?

And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables?  It's less clear to me now that
we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be
flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? 
A shame to complicate it unnecessarily.

Special thanks to David Miller for time spent repairing my ceilings.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
