All the architectures properly set NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE now so we can safely
add linux/pci-dma.h to linux/pci.h and remove the linux/pci-dma.h
inclusion in arch's asm/pci.h

<title>Add generic sys_ipc wrapper</title>

<id>urn:sha1:baed7fc9b580bd3fb8252ff1d9b36eaf1f86b670</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.

There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.

Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

<title>MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself</title>
<updated>2010-02-20T16:41:46Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Russell King</name>
</author>
<published>2009-12-18T16:40:18Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=4b3073e1c53a256275f1079c0fbfbe85883d9275'/>
<id>urn:sha1:4b3073e1c53a256275f1079c0fbfbe85883d9275</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.

Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:

  sparc: fix fallout from update_mmu_cache API change

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define
USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP.  The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so
let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2d4dc890b5c8fabd818a8586607e6843c4375e62</id>
<content type='text'>
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.
