* [PATCH] remove hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() and fix huge_pte_alloc()Chen, Kenneth W2005-09-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't think we need to call hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() anymore in 2.6.13 because of the rework with free_pgtables(). It now collect all the pte page at the time of munmap. It used to only collect page table pages when entire one pgd can be freed and left with staled pte pages. Not anymore with 2.6.13. This function will never be called and We should turn it into a BUG_ON. I also spotted two problems here, not Adam's fault :-) (1) in huge_pte_alloc(), it looks like a bug to me that pud is not checked before calling pmd_alloc() (2) in hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(), it also missed a call to pmd_free_tlb. I think a tlb flush is required to flush the mapping for the page table itself when we clear out the pmd pointing to a pte page. However, since hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() is never called, so it won't trigger the bug.

* [PATCH] mm: consolidate get_orderStephen Rothwell2005-09-051-14/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Someone mentioned that almost all the architectures used basically the same implementation of get_order. This patch consolidates them into asm-generic/page.h and includes that in the appropriate places. The exceptions are ia64 and ppc which have their own (presumably optimised) versions.

* [PATCH] kexec: x86: add CONFIG_PYSICAL_STARTEric W. Biederman2005-06-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory. To accomplish this the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses. This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86 kernel so we can do just that. You need to know what you are doing and the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled with this option but they will still load at 1MB. If you need a kernel loaded at a different address as well you need to boot a vmlinux.

* [PATCH] sparsemem base: teach discontig about sparse rangesDave Hansen2005-06-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | discontig.c has some assumptions that mem_map[]s inside of a node are contiguous. Teach it to make sure that each region that it's bringing online is actually made up of valid ranges of ram.

* [PATCH] Hugepage consolidationDavid Gibson2005-06-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six. Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64. Notes: - this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more analagous to set_pte() - does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+153
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!
