This cset allows ARM modules to work again. The solution was suggested by Andi Kleen. We shrink the available user space size by 16MB, thereby opening up a window in virtual memory space between user space and the kernel direct mapped RAM. We place modules into this space, and, since the kernel image is always at the bottom of kernel direct mapped RAM, we can be assured that any 24-bit PC relocations (which have a range of +/- 32MB) will always be able to reach the kernel.

This cset removes some complexity that arose due to the endian issues caused by using byte accesses in the bitops. Since bitops are now guaranteed to operate on unsigned long quantities, we can now use word operations. This means that bitops bit 0 naturally falls into word 0 bit 0.

This cset implements half the changes required for Rusty's in-kernel module loader. It implements the basic principles required to link a module with other modules and the kernel, as well as providing the required functions to allow the kernel to build with CONFIG_MODULES=y. However, as an unfortunate side effect, this cset DISABLES the ability to load modules on ARM; it's currently broken since we need to allocate a jump table for out of range branches (which is required for most calls from modules to the kernel binary to work.) Since we don't know the size of the jump table until we come to link the module, a subsequent vmalloc could return memory no where near the module itself, giving the same problem.

This cset applies the ARM fixups for various 2.5.48 changes, including fixing ADFS. This cset does NOT contain ARM fixes for Rusty's 2.5.48 module changes.

Oops, I broke them. This cset fixes the errors.

This cset adds the missing cpu_flush_pmd() and fixes pmd_clear() (how did I miss that first time around...)

This allows the ARMv4 write buffer + icache entry handling instructions to be left out of a kernel which doesn't have separate icache entry handling instructions.

This cset kills the old racy ecard device discovery interfaces, converting the remaining drivers to use the new LDM-based interface.

Since we store two hardware pte tables contiguously, a common operation is to set two pmd entries. Rather than call set_pmd() with the associated overhead twice, we set the two PMD entries, and then call cpu_flush_pmd() to perform any CPU specific handling.

Make flush_dcache_page() handle user space mappings correctly; with a VIVT cache, we need to make sure that any user space cache lines are coherent with the kernels view of the same page of memory.

Check for ->bd_invalidate moved from rescan_partitions() to the only caller that a) needs that check and b) doesn't do it already. Fixes the problem with BLKRRPART which doesn't want that check at all...

- example in Documentation/DocBook/procfs_example.c uses MOD_..._USE_COUNT for no reason. - alpha/kernel/srm_env.c uses MOD_...USE_COUNT for no reason _and_ does lovely stuff like strlen() on user-supplied pointers, copy_from_user() with unverified size, half-kilobyte on-stack arrays, etc. Fixed. - s390{,x}/kernel/debug.c: set ->owner instead of playing with MOD_..._USE_COUNT in ->open()/->release() - mwavedd.c: gratitious use of MOD_..._USE_COUNT - uinput.c: ditto - radio/miropcm20-rds.c: set ->owner, remove MOD_..._USE_COUNT from ->open()/->release(), fixed an obvious race in the former (it checked that nobody else had device opened, then did kmalloc() with GFP_KERNEL, then marked device as opened).

All callers of devfs_find_and_unregister() pass 0 in 6th argument. All uses of that function either pass 0 in 3rd and 4th argument (in which case the 5th is ignored) or pass the existing pathname in the 2nd (in which case 3rd, 4th and 5th are ignored). In all cases the first argument can be trivially made NULL. devfs_find_and_unregister() is left as-is. All existing callers converted to new helper - devfs_remove(pathname). Said beast does equivalent of devfs_find_and_unregister(NULL, pathname, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Here is another version of the scsi_mid_low_api.txt document. It adds descriptions of functions supplied by the mid level for a LLD (lower level driver) to call. It is also tries to describe the two, alternate registration scenarios. How do the terms: "hotplug initialization model" and "passive initialization model" sound?

After the gendisk changes, the disk name disappeared from the initialisation methods (sd_spinup et al) because the disk name is set after the init routines are called. This moves init to be after the name is set

stat64 has been changed to return jiffies granuality as nsec in previously unused fields. This allows make to make better decisions on when to recompile a file. Follows losely the Solaris API. CURRENT_TIME has been redefined to return struct timespec. The users who don't use it in a inode/attr context have been changed to use a new get_seconds() function. CURRENT_TIME is implemented by an out-of-line function. There is a small performance penalty in this patch. The previous filemap code had an optimization to flush atime only once a second. This is currently gone, which will increase flushes a bit. I believe the correct solution if it should be a problem is to have per super block fields that give an arbitary atime flush granuality - so that you can set it to be only flushed once a hour if you prefer that. I will work on that later in separate patches if the need should arise. struct inode and the attr struct has been changed to store struct timespec instead of time_t for [cma]time. Not all file systems support this granuality, but some like XFS,NFSv3,CIFS,JFS do. The others will currently truncate the nsec part on flushing to disk. There was some discussion on this rounding on l-k previously. I went for simple truncation because there is not much evidence IMHO that the more complicated roundings have any advantages. In practice application will be rather unlikely to notice the rounding anyways - they can only see a difference when an inode is flush from memory and reloaded in less than a second, which is rather unlikely.
