The original vm_stat_account has fallen into disuse, with only one user, and
only one user of vm_stat_unaccount.  It's easier to keep track if we convert
them all to __vm_stat_account, then free it from its __shackles.

Hugh made me note this line for permission checking in mprotect():

		if ((newflags & ~(newflags >> 4)) & 0xf) {

after figuring out what's that about, I decided it's nasty enough.  Btw
Hugh itself didn't like the 0xf.

We can safely change it to VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC because we never change
VM_SHARED, so no need to check that.

Checking pte_dirty instead of pte_write in __follow_page is problematic
for s390, and for copy_one_pte which leaves dirty when clearing write.

So revert __follow_page to check pte_write as before, and make
do_wp_page pass back a special extra VM_FAULT_WRITE bit to say it has
done its full job: once get_user_pages receives this value, it no longer
requires pte_write in __follow_page.

But most callers of handle_mm_fault, in the various architectures, have
switch statements which do not expect this new case.  To avoid changing
them all in a hurry, make an inline wrapper function (using the old
name) that masks off the new bit, and use the extended interface with
double underscores.

Yes, we do have a call to do_wp_page from do_swap_page, but no need to
change that: in rare case it's needed, another do_wp_page will follow.

Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[].  This kind of
mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems.  Sparsemem
replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually
become a complete replacement.

A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated
from CONFIG_NUMA.  When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA
and DISCONTIG are often confused.

Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be
contiguous.  It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems,
where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory.

Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for
each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory.  This is what allows the mem_map[]
to be chopped up.

In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page
is encoded in page->flags.  Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables
sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the
page_zone() and sparsemem operations.  However, on 32-bit architectures, the
number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the
page->flags type in certain conditions.  Several things might force this to
occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of
memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the
number of used page->flags.

One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node
information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags.  It might provide
speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is
room.  But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is
used.

This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM.  It is used in almost all cases where
there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM
often have to compile out the same areas of code.

Generify the value fields in the page_flags.  The aim is to allow the location
and size of these fields to be varied.  Additionally we want to move away from
fixed allocations per field whilst still enforcing the overall bit utilisation
limits.  We rely on the compiler to spot and optimise the accessor functions.

This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.

Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets.  So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself.  Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.

So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone.  This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.

We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being
called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.

The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere
and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
motions of freeing nothing.  Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to
ppc64 the special case of skipping them.

The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it
probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another
region into the hugetlb region.

In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in
the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page
at the bottom is larger.  Here we need to scale down each addr before passing
it to the standard free_pgd_range.  Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down
macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose.  Fixed
off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.

Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64.  Make sure the
vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any
other (safe to join huges?  probably but don't bother).

There's only one usage of MM_VM_SIZE(mm) left, and it's a troublesome macro
because mm doesn't contain the (32-bit emulation?) info needed.  But it too is
only needed because we ignore the end from the vma list.

We could make flush_pgtables return that end, or unmap_vmas.  Choose the
latter, since it's a natural fit with unmap_mapping_range_vma needing to know
its restart addr.  This does make more than minimal change, but if unmap_vmas
had returned the end before, this is how we'd have done it, rather than
storing the break_addr in zap_details.

unmap_vmas used to return count of vmas scanned, but that's just debug which
hasn't been useful in a while; and if we want the map_count 0 on exit check
back, it can easily come from the final remove_vm_struct loop.

Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level
clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its
long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level
page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on
ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables.

Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by
free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same
way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables.  This
brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled,
in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput).

Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region
instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and
can only be freed while it is touched by some vma.

Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted
from the clear_page_range levels.  (Most of free_pgtables' old code was
actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before
hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we
might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going
by vma should itself reduce latency.

But what if is_hugepage_only_range?  Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful
examination: put that off until a later patch of the series.

What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma?

And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables?  It's less clear to me now that
we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be
flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? 
A shame to complicate it unnecessarily.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
