.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.
I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

The architecture specification says that an EHB instruction is
needed to avoid a hazard when writing TLB entries. However, some
cores do not have this hazard, and thus the EHB instruction causes
a costly pipeline stall. Detect these cores and do not use the EHB
instruction.

git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping
Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:
A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.
For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").
The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."
People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.

Commit d065bd810b6deb67d4897a14bfe21f8eb526ba99
(mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer) and
commit 37b23e0525d393d48a7d59f870b3bc061a30ccdb
(x86,mm: make pagefault killable)
The above commits introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.
These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.
Port these changes to MIPS.
Without these changes, my MIPS board encounters many hang and livelock
scenarios.
After applying this patch, OOM feature performance improves according to

This patch addresses a couple of related problems:
1) The kernel may reside in physical memory outside of the ranges set
by plat_mem_setup(). If this is the case, init mem cannot be
reused as it resides outside of the range of pages that the kernel
memory allocators control.
2) initrd images might be loaded in physical memory outside of the
ranges set by plat_mem_setup(). The memory likewise cannot be
reused. The patch doesn't handle this specific case, but the
infrastructure is useful for future patches that do.
The crux of the problem is that there are memory regions that need be
memory_present(), but that cannot be free_bootmem() at the time of
arch_mem_init(). We create a new type of memory (BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM)
for use with add_memory_region(). Then arch_mem_init() adds the init
mem with this type if the init mem is not already covered by existing
ranges.
When memory is being freed into the bootmem allocator, we skip the
BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM ranges so they are not clobbered, but we do signal
them as memory_present(). This way when they are later freed, the
necessary memory manager structures have initialized and the Sparse
allocater is prevented from crashing.
The Octeon specific code that handled this case is removed, because
the new general purpose code handles the case.

Page table entries are made invalid by writing a zero into the the PTE
slot in a page table. This creates a race condition with the TLB
modify handlers when they are updating the PTE.
CPU0 CPU1
Test for _PAGE_PRESENT
. set to not _PAGE_PRESENT (zero)
Set to _PAGE_VALID
So now the page not present value (zero) is suddenly valid and user
space programs have access to physical page zero.
We close the race by putting the test for _PAGE_PRESENT and setting of
_PAGE_VALID into an atomic LL/SC section. This requires more registers
than just K0 and K1 in the handlers, so we need to save some registers
to a save area and then restore them when we are done.
The save area is an array of cacheline aligned structures that should
not suffer cache line bouncing as they are CPU private.

On processors with deep write buffers, it is likely that many cycles
will pass between a CACHE instruction and the time the data actually
gets written out to DRAM. Add a SYNC instruction to ensure that the
buffers get emptied before the flush functions return.
Actual problem seen in the wild:
1) dma_alloc_coherent() allocates cached memory
2) memset() is called to clear the new pages
3) dma_cache_wback_inv() is called to flush the zero data out to memory
4) dma_alloc_coherent() returns an uncached (kseg1) pointer to the
freshly allocated pages
5) Caller writes data through the kseg1 pointer
6) Buffered writeback data finally gets flushed out to DRAM
7) Part of caller's data is inexplicably zeroed out
This patch adds SYNC between steps 3 and 4, which fixed the problem.

pfn_valid() compares the PFN to max_mapnr:
__pfn >= min_low_pfn && __pfn < max_mapnr;
On HIGHMEM kernels, highend_pfn is used to set the value of max_mapnr.
Unfortunately, highend_pfn is left at zero if the system does not
actually have enough RAM to reach into the HIGHMEM range. This causes
pfn_valid() to always return false, and when debug checks are enabled
the kernel will fail catastrophically:
Memory: 22432k/32768k available (2249k kernel code, 10336k reserved, 653k data, 1352k init, 0k highmem)
NR_IRQS:128

On such a configuration, max_low_pfn should be used to set max_mapnr.

This patch introduced topdown mmap support in user process address
space allocation policy.
Recently, we ran some large applications that use mmap heavily and
lead to OOM due to inflexible mmap allocation policy on MIPS32.
Since most other major archs supported it for years, it is reasonable
to follow the trend and reduce the pain of porting applications.
Due to cache aliasing concern, arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and
other helper functions are implemented in arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.
