      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
      
      Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
      will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
      freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
      
      Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
      virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
      page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
      RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
      entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
      we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
      
      The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
      too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
      almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
      argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

      x86, mm: fix pte_free() · 42ef73fe

      On -rt we were seeing spurious bad page states like:
      
      Bad page state in process 'firefox'

      Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

      This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
      we get to free the newly allocated one.
      
      This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
      which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
      
      union {
          struct {
              unsigned long private;
              struct address_space *mapping;
          };
          spinlock_t ptl;
          struct kmem_cache *slab;
          struct page *first_page;
      };
      
      Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
      PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
      
      But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
      lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
      
      The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
      path __pte_free_tlb() does.
      
      It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
      nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
      doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

      x86: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
      format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
      
      The format:
      
      1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
      2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
         distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
      3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
         underscores.

      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Add hooks which are called at pgd_alloc/free time.  The pgd_alloc hook
      may return an error code, which if non-zero, causes the pgd allocation
      to be failed.  The hooks may be used to allocate/free auxillary
      per-pgd information.
