3a85e770aa x86, cpa: remove USER permission from the very early identity mapping attribute
remove USER from the PTE/PDE attributes for the very early identity
mapping. We overwrite these mappings with KERNEL attribute later
in the boot. Just being paranoid here as there is no need for USER bit
to be set.

If this breaks something(don't know the history), then we can simply drop
this change.

91030ca1e7 x86: unsigned long pte_pfn
pte_pfn() has always been of type unsigned long, even on 32-bit PAE;
but in the current tip/next/mm tree it works out to be unsigned long
long on 64-bit, which gives an irritating warning if you try to printk
a pfn with the usual %lx.

Now use the same pte_pfn() function, moved from pgtable-3level.h
to pgtable.h, for all models: as suggested by Jeremy Fitzhardinge.
And pte_page() can well move along with it (remaining a macro to
avoid dependence on mm_types.h).

77ef50a522 x86: consolidate header guards
This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.

The format:

1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
   distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
   underscores.

59438c9fc4 x86: rename PTE_MASK to PTE_PFN_MASK
Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants
should have a name which somewhat accurately reflects the actual
purpose of the constant.

Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually
being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely
different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the
problem is.

But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have
achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

ef5e94af16 x86_32: remove __PAGE_KERNEL(_EXEC)
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must
only use it if the processor supports it.

The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically
we always want it set.

This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all
_PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned
into a real in-pagetable pte.  On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask
is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if
the CPU is found to support it.

The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this
purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.

8490638cf0 x86: always set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL* flags
Consistently set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL flags.  This makes 32-
and 64-bit code consistent, and removes some special cases where
__PAGE_KERNEL* did not have _PAGE_GLOBAL set, causing confusion as a
result of the inconsistencies.

This patch only affects x86-64, which generally always supports PGD.
The x86-32 patch is next.

ce0c0e50f9 x86, generic: CPA add statistics about state of direct mapping v4
Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to
/proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other
memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even
outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the
kernel will run slower.

This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how
many are split.

Useful for general insight into the kernel.

v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race.
    32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem.
    Fix some typos
v3: Rename dpages_cnt
    Add CONFIG ifdef for count update as requested by tglx
    Expand description
v4: Fix stupid bugs added in v3

a15af1c9ea x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flags
Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte.  This is a special
case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags
correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing.

The intent is to allow paravirt implementations to return pte flags
without having to do any translation of the page number (most notably,
Xen).

4226ab93d8 x86: use pteval_t for _PAGE_FOO
Rather than making _PAGE_* constants signed, and then relying on
sign-extension to make sure that masks derived from them are wide
enough, just explicitly type them pteval_t.  This guarantees that they
and any derived values are the right size for the current pte format.

The reliance on sign extension is fragile, and invokes some very
subtle corners of the C type system.

7e675137a8 mm: introduce pte_special pte bit
s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most).  Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:

vm_normal_page()
{
	...
        if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
				return NULL;
#else
                        if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                return NULL;
#endif
                        goto out;
                }
	...
}

This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes.  So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):

vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
		return NULL;
	return pte_page(pte);
#else
	...
#endif
}

And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits.  This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.

So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c.  It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.

BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

68db065c84 x86: unify KERNEL_PGD_PTRS
Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined
for 32-bit.

There are a couple of follow-on changes from this:
 - KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS.  The
   definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64,
   since it can have two different user address-space configurations.
   I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful
   for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations.

 - USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar
   purposes.  Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it
   completely unused, and so I removed it.

f0970c13b6 x86: PAT phys_mem_access_prot_allowed for dev/mem mmap
Introduce phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(), which checks whether the mapping
is possible, without any conflicts and returns success or failure based on that.
phys_mem_access_prot() by itself does not allow failure case. This ability
to return error is needed for PAT where we may have aliasing conflicts.

x86 setup __HAVE_PHYS_MEM_ACCESS_PROT and move x86 specific code out of
/dev/mem into arch specific area.

2e5d9c857d x86: PAT infrastructure patch
Sets up pat_init() infrastructure.

PAT MSR has following setting.
	PAT
	|PCD
	||PWT
	|||
	000 WB		_PAGE_CACHE_WB
	001 WC		_PAGE_CACHE_WC
	010 UC-		_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
	011 UC		_PAGE_CACHE_UC

We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).

reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.

pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.

d546b67a94 x86: fix performance drop for glx
fix the 3D performance drop reported at:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328

fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.

The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.

We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

e3ed910db2 x86: use the same pgd_list for PAE and 64-bit
Use a standard list threaded through page->lru for maintaining the pgd
list on PAE.  This is the same as 64-bit, and seems saner than using a
non-standard list via page->index.
