With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.
This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

In cases where the acpi memory-add event does not containe the pxm (node)
infomation allow the driver to look up node info based on the address. The
acpi_get_node call returns -1 if it can't decode the pxm info, this causes
add_memory to panic. acpi_get_node would have to decode the resource from the
handle (a lenghty proposition). This seems to be the cleanist point to
interject the hook.

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.
Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.
This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c66 needless. So this patch removes
it.
As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.
While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
"
if (cause < 0) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
goto bad_area;
} else if (!cause) {
/* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
goto bad_area;
} else {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
goto bad_area;
}
"
Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.
Additional discussion:
Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.
The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

This patch reverses the order of fetching log from SAL and
checking poll threshold. This will fix following trivial issues:
- If SAL_GET_SATE_INFO is unbelievably slow (due to huge system
or just its silly implementation) and if it takes more than
1/5 sec, CMCI/CPEI will never switch to CMCP/CPEP.
- Assuming terrible flood of interrupt (continuous corrected
errors let all CPUs enter to handler at once and bind them
in it), CPUs will be serialized by IA64_LOG_LOCK(*).
Now we check the poll threshold after the lock and log fetch,
so we need to call SAL_GET_STATE_INFO (num_online_cpus() + 4)
times in the worst case.
if we can check the threshold before the lock, we can shut up
interrupts quickly without waiting preceding log fetches, and
the number of times will be reduced to (num_online_cpus()) in
the same situation.

When entering the kernel due to an MCA or INIT, ar.fpsr (ar40)
was not getting set to the kernel default value (remaining
at the user value). The effect depends on the user setting
of ar.fpsr. In the test case, the effect was addresses
printing with strange hex values.
Setting ar.fpsr in ia64_set_kernel_registers sets it for both
the MCA and INIT paths. The user value of ar.fpsr is correctly
saved (in ia64_state_save) and restored (in ia64_state_restore).
Below is an example of output with very strange hex values.

Printing message to console from MCA/INIT handler is useful,
however doing oops_in_progress = 1 in them exactly makes
something in kernel wrong. Especially it sounds ugly if
system goes wrong after returning from recoverable MCA.
This patch adds ia64_mca_printk() function that collects
messages into temporary-not-so-large message buffer during
in MCA/INIT environment and print them out later, after
returning to normal context or when handlers determine to
down the system.
Also this print function is exported for use in extensional
MCA handler. It would be useful to describe detail about
recovery.
NOTE:
I don't think it is sane thing if temporary message buffer
is enlarged enough to hold whole stack dumps from INIT, so
buffering is disabled during stack dump from INIT-monarch
(= default_monarch_init_process). please fix it in future.

MCA dispatch code take physical address of GP passed from SAL, then call
DATA_PA_TO_VA twice on GP before call into C code. The first time is
in ia64_set_kernel_register, the second time is in VIRTUAL_MODE_ENTER.
The gp is changed to a virtual address in region 7 because DATA_PA_TO_VA
is implemented by dep instruction.
However when notify blocks were called from MCA handler code, because
notify blocks are supported by callback function pointers, gp value
value was switched to region 5 again.
The patch set gp register to kernel gp of region 5 at entry of MCA

This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead
to system crash. They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls,
but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading.
This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).
Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore
the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on
its own when the macro isn't defined.

the panic_on_oops path. However, Paul Mackerras suggested that this was
somewhat confusing, leadind people to believe that it was panic_on_oops
that was the root cause of the fatal exception. On his suggestion, this
patch changes the message to simply "Fatal exception". A suitable oops
message should already have been displayed.

Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the
xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are
done to the start virtual address translated to physical.
This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have
tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
this if a similar situation is encountered.
