A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

* A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock infrastructure
on all architectures, so we can use the clock API in architecture
independent device drivers.
* The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic files.
There are other architecture specific series that are going through
the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one.
There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and
the following arch header file split patches. In each case the solution
will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it
ends up being the only line in the Kbuild file.

Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells:
"There are three main parts:
(1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64
(some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems -
mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some
__KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64.
(2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its
asm/signal.h. Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to
remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead.
(3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due
to it lacking a kvm_para.h file.
The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h
and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if
an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was*
an asm-generic/ version.
It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three
headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header
installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed
asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs
linux/kvm_para.h as well.
Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't
detectable in those."

asm-generic/unistd.h and a number of asm/unistd.h files have been given
reinclusion guards that allow the guard to be overridden if __SYSCALL is
defined. Unfortunately, these files define __SYSCALL and don't undefine it
when they've finished with it, thus rendering the guard ineffective.
The reason for this override is to allow the file to be #included multiple
times with different settings on __SYSCALL for purposes like generating syscall
tables.
The following guards are problematic:
arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__ASM_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:#if !defined(__ASM_UNISTD32_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
arch/c6x/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_C6X_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
arch/hexagon/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_HEXAGON_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
arch/openrisc/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__ASM_OPENRISC_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
arch/score/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_SCORE_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
arch/tile/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_TILE_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
arch/unicore32/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__UNICORE_UNISTD_H__) || defined(__SYSCALL)
include/asm-generic/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_GENERIC_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL)
On the assumption that the guards' ineffectiveness has passed unnoticed, just
remove these guards entirely.

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when
sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).
I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

centralises the code for updating current->blocked after successfully

architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong, so
using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.
Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.
This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.
For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended

Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

Rather than requiring architectures that use gpiolib but don't have any
need to define anything custom to copy an asm/gpio.h provide a Kconfig
symbol which architectures must select in order to include gpio.h and
for other architectures just provide the trivial implementation directly.
This makes it much easier to do gpiolib updates and is also a step towards
making gpiolib APIs available on every architecture.
For architectures with existing boilerplate code leave a stub header in
place which warns on direct inclusion of asm/gpio.h and includes
linux/gpio.h to catch code that's doing this. Direct inclusion of
asm/gpio.h has long been deprecated.

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 d15bd7ee44
"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.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

...
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).
Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.
The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.
The qemu code which implements this features is at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.
I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.
This patch:
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.
