The kernel originally supported revB only. This patch enables revC by
default and adds a config option for building the kernel for the revB
platform. Since the SCU base address was hard-coded in the proc-v6.S
file (and only valid for RealView/EB revB), this patch also adds a
more generic support for defining the SCU information.

f2131d348f [ARM] Always mark ARMv6 PTWs outer cacheable
Other platforms other than SMP may have an outer cache.  For these, we
also need to mark the page table walks outer cacheable.  Since marking
the walks always outer cacheable apparantly has no side effects, we
might as well always mark them so.

However, we continue to only mark PTWs shared if we have SMP enabled.

e6a5d66f58 [ARM] 4129/1: Add barriers after the TLB operations
The architecture specification states that TLB operations are
guaranteed to be complete only after the execution of a DSB (Data
Synchronisation Barrier, former Data Write Barrier or Drain Write
Buffer). The branch target cache invalidation is also needed. The ISB
(Instruction Synchronisation Barrier, formerly Prefetch Flush) is
needed unless there will be a return from exception before the
corresponding mapping is used (i.e. user mappings).

On newer architectures (ARMv6, ARMv7), the depth of the prefetch and

of wrong ASID tagging when changing TTBR0 before setting the new

- Fix up indentation in a number of places.
- Change references to the various caches to be more clear about

  cache.
- Rename "drain write buffer" to "data write barrier", the official
  name used in the Manzano manual.
- Change the xsc3 cpu name from "XScale-Core3" to "XScale-V3 based

Also, since a previously merged patch implements proper support for
using a MAC or iWMMXt coprocessor on xsc3 platforms, we no longer
need to enable access to CP0 on boot.

6020dff092 [ARM] Resolve fuse and direct-IO failures due to missing cache flushes
fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants
to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into
kernel space.  However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel
mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to
userspace.

This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data
corruption for direct-IO.

This resolves debian bug #402876

285f5fa7e9 [ARM] 3995/1: iop13xx: add iop13xx support
The iop348 processor integrates an Xscale (XSC3 512KB L2 Cache) core with a
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller, multi-ported DDR2 memory
controller, 3 Application Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers, a 133Mhz
PCI-X interface, a x8 PCI-Express interface, and other peripherals to form
a system-on-a-chip RAID subsystem engine.

The iop342 processor replaces the SAS controller with a second Xscale core
for dual core embedded applications.

The iop341 processor is the single core version of iop342.

This patch supports the two Intel customer reference platforms iq81340mc
for external storage and iq81340sc for direct attach (HBA) development.

afe4b25e7d [ARM] 3881/4: xscale: clean up cp0/cp1 handling
XScale cores either have a DSP coprocessor (which contains a single
40 bit accumulator register), or an iWMMXt coprocessor (which contains
eight 64 bit registers.)

Because of the small amount of state in the DSP coprocessor, access to
the DSP coprocessor (CP0) is always enabled, and DSP context switching
is done unconditionally on every task switch.  Access to the iWMMXt
coprocessor (CP0/CP1) is enabled only when an iWMMXt instruction is
first issued, and iWMMXt context switching is done lazily.

CONFIG_IWMMXT is supposed to mean 'the cpu we will be running on will
have iWMMXt support', but boards are supposed to select this config
symbol by hand, and at least one pxa27x board doesn't get this right,
so on that board, proc-xscale.S will incorrectly assume that we have a
DSP coprocessor, enable CP0 on boot, and we will then only save the
first iWMMXt register (wR0) on context switches, which is Bad.

This patch redefines CONFIG_IWMMXT as 'the cpu we will be running on
might have iWMMXt support, and we will enable iWMMXt context switching
if it does.'  This means that with this patch, running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=n
kernel on an iWMMXt-capable CPU will no longer potentially corrupt iWMMXt
state over context switches, and running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=y kernel on a
non-iWMMXt capable CPU will still do DSP context save/restore.

These changes should make iWMMXt work on PXA3xx, and as a side effect,
enable proper acc0 save/restore on non-iWMMXt capable xsc3 cores such
as IOP13xx and IXP23xx (which will not have CONFIG_CPU_XSCALE defined),
as well as setting and using HWCAP_IWMMXT properly.

5e70982750 [ARM] 3927/1: Allow show_mem() to work with holes in memory map.

panic.

This patch keeps the struct meminfo around after system
initialization so that show_mem() can use it when
scanning memory.  show_mem() now walks over each bank
of each online node, rather than assuming that each node
contains a single contiguous bank.

8f7f9435e6 [ARM] 3912/1: Make PXA270 advertise HWCAP_IWMMXT capability
ARM patch 3756/1 added HWCAP_IWMMXT.  This patch adds support
for broadcasting that info via /proc/cpuinfo and sets it for
the CPU features of the PXA270.

I've booted 19rc3 on a pxa270 and confirmed that the /proc/cpuinfo
shows "iwmmxt" in the Features.

f400e198b2 [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
	->pid == 1.

	Introduce is_init to capture this case.

	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
	process that has pid == 1.

df67b3daea [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.

While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach.  For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:

"
        if (cause < 0) {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else if (!cause) {
                /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
                        goto bad_area;
        }
"

Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest.  I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.

Additional discussion:

Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write.  Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.

Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV.  That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c.  However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write.  Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed.  It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address.  Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV.  Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.

According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.

The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations.  This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable.  If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...
