Stephen Rothwell ee2cdecec4 [PATCH] powerpc: iSeries fixes for build with no PCI
This reverts part of "ppc64 iSeries: allow build with no PCI"
(145d01e428) which affected generic code
and applies a fix in the arch specific code.

Commit "partly merge iseries do_IRQ"
(5fee9b3b39eb55c7e3619a3b36ceeabffeb8f144) introduced iSeries_get_irq
which was only available if CONFIG_PCI is set.

Jes Sorensen 1b1dcc1b57 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

Bjorn Helgaas 80851ef2a5 [PATCH] /dev/mem: validate mmap requests
Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests.

This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write
paths.

The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or
64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or
uncacheable).  This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a
machine check.

Sample problem scenario:
  - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K
  - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule
  - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0
  - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here")
  - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB
    memory, e.g., sx1000)

In the scenario above, the only choices are
  - Use WB for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because it causes attribute
    aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space.
  - Use UC for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because the chipset may not
    support UC for that region.
  - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL.  That's what this patch does.

Guillaume Chazarain cd140a5c1f [PATCH] kmsg_write: don't return printk return value
kmsg_write returns with printk, so some programs may be confused by a
successful write() with a return value different than the buffer length.

# /bin/echo something > /dev/kmsg
/bin/echo: write error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

The drawbacks is that the printk return value can no more be quickly
checked from userspace.

Linus Torvalds 6aab341e0a mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic
This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP.  It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.

Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way.  It just works.  As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

Sparc update from David in the next commit.

Hugh Dickins f57e88a8d8 [PATCH] unpaged: ZERO_PAGE in VM_UNPAGED
It's strange enough to be looking out for anonymous pages in VM_UNPAGED areas,
let's not insert the ZERO_PAGE there - though whether it would matter will
depend on what we decide about ZERO_PAGE refcounting.

But whereas do_anonymous_page may (exceptionally) be called on a VM_UNPAGED
area, do_no_page should never be: just BUG_ON.

Roland Dreier 8b150478ae [PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses
Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an
address.  This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G
on 32-bit architectures.  We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no
need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the
conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G.

Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an
address by directly comparing to max_pfn.  Working with max_pfn instead of
high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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.

Let it rip!
