struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers, which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it just makes the code messy. Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof() instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

- Move alignment to page size of init data outside ifdef for BLK_DEV_INITRD. The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined. This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup, data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed and reused, with disastrous results. - Use macros for initcalls and .text sections. - Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define. - Change include/asm-cris/page.h to use the _AC macro to instead of testing __ASSEMBLY__.

New (updated) version of ethernet driver for cris v10. - First steps to simplify and make the MII code more similar between the etrax100 and etraxfs ports. - Start the transmit queue before enabling tx interrupts to avoid race with the first frame. - Flip the comparition statement to stick to physical addresses to avoid phys_to_virt mapping a potential null pointer. This was not an error but the change simplifies debugging of address-space mappings. - Made myPrevRxDesc local to e100_rx since it was only used there. Fixed out of memory handling in e100_rx. If dev_alloc_skb() fails persistently the system is hosed anyway but at least it won't loop in an interrupt handler. - Correct some code formatting issues. - Add defines SET_ETH_ENABLE_LEDS, SET_ETH_DISABLE_LEDS and SET_ETH_AUTONEG used in new cris v10 ethernet driver.

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits: - Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located at sg + 1. - Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link with the two low bits masked off. - Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return NULL when passed such an entry. It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get and set the page member. Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not. This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing storage and discarding. An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should be marked deprecated if this patch is merged. Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of Hugh Dickens. Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector and ramfs allocations.
