Here's an implementation of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC for 64 bits powerpc.
It applies on top of the 32 bits patch.
Unlike Anton's previous attempt, I'm not using updatepp. I'm removing
the hash entries from the bolted mapping (using a map in RAM of all the
slots). Expensive but it doesn't really matter, does it ? :-)
Memory hot-added doesn't benefit from this unless it's added at an
address that is below end_of_DRAM() as calculated at boot time.
Here's an implementation of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC for ppc32. It disables BAT
mapping and is only tested with Hash table based processor though it
shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to others.
[POWERPC] Fix 32-bit mm operations when not using BATs
On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with
a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash
fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode
among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code
itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking
a hash miss exceptions.
This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the
linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is
not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be
useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
implemented in a subsequent patch.
This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit
the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash
pressure.
The 32 bits map_page() function is used internally by the mm code
for early mmu mappings and for ioremap. It should never be called
for an address that already has a valid PTE or hash entry, so we
add a BUG_ON for that and remove the useless flush_HPTE call.

The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we
lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs
after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash
entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems.
This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather
stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the
paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu
mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range
of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given
CPU before it drops that lock.
We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush.
Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and
disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is
always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen
and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching
is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will
use the batch for that flush.

[POWERPC] Allow drivers to map individual 4k pages to userspace
Some drivers have resources that they want to be able to map into
userspace that are 4k in size. On a kernel configured with 64k pages
we currently end up mapping the 4k we want plus another 60k of
physical address space, which could contain anything. This can
introduce security problems, for example in the case of an infiniband
adaptor where the other 60k could contain registers that some other
program is using for its communications.
This patch adds a new function, remap_4k_pfn, which drivers can use to
map a single 4k page to userspace regardless of whether the kernel is
using a 4k or a 64k page size. Like remap_pfn_range, it would
typically be called in a driver's mmap function. It only maps a
single 4k page, which on a 64k page kernel appears replicated 16 times
throughout a 64k page. On a 4k page kernel it reduces to a call to
remap_pfn_range.
The way this works on a 64k kernel is that a new bit, _PAGE_4K_PFN,
gets set on the linux PTE. This alters the way that __hash_page_4K
computes the real address to put in the HPTE. The RPN field of the
linux PTE becomes the 4k RPN directly rather than being interpreted as
a 64k RPN. Since the RPN field is 32 bits, this means that physical
addresses being mapped with remap_4k_pfn have to be below 2^44,
i.e. 0x100000000000.
The patch also factors out the code in arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c
that deals with demoting a process to use 4k pages into one function
that gets called in the various different places where we need to do
that. There were some discrepancies between exactly what was done in
the various places, such as a call to spu_flush_all_slbs in one case
but not in others.

- Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new

- Less stack space use: we use just a single global command
line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before,
we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack.
- Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a
commandline, but not a device tree. Platform code can now point new

It is possible for the timer expiry function to run even though the
request has already been handled: ide_timer_expiry() only checks that
the handler is not NULL, but it is possible that we have handled a
request (thus clearing the handler) and then started a new request
(thus starting the timer again, and setting a handler).
A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and
run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because
ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active.
To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets
incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that
we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry
function.

[PATCH] omap_cf: oops-on-suspend fix
Convert omap_cf into a platform_driver ... this resolves oopsing during
suspend/resume.
Evidently folk haven't tried suspend/resume on an OSK (the main platform
for this driver) since September or so, which is when platform_device
learned about suspend_late()/resume_early() and stopped being able to
suspend/resume without a platform_driver.

[PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.
Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.
This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed
differently.

[PATCH] sched: get rid of p->children use in show_task()
the p->parent PID printout gives us all the information about the
task tree that we need - the eldest_child()/older_sibling()/
younger_sibling() printouts are mostly historic and i do not
remember ever having used those fields. (IMO in fact they confuse
the SysRq-T output.) So remove them.
This code has sentimental value though, those fields and
printouts are one of the oldest ones still surviving from
Linux v0.95's kernel/sched.c:
