      [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t · e18b890b
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

      [PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page · 39dde65c
      由 Chen, Kenneth W 提交于 
      Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken.  This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.

The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments.  In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant.  For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.

With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio.  One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency.  These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

      [PATCH] pidspace: is_init() · f400e198
      由 Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于 
      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.

      [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ · df67b3da
      由 Jason Baron 提交于 
      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...
