ec8c0446b6 [PATCH] Optimize D-cache alias handling on fork
Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away
without cache flushing when forking.  This patch adds a new cache
flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the
moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures
except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

f3c2575818 sh: Calculate shm alignment at runtime.
Set the SHM alignment at runtime, based off of probed cache desc.
Optimize get_unmapped_area() to only colour align shared mappings.

26ff6c11ef sh: page table alloc cleanups and page fault optimizations.
Cleanup of page table allocators, using generic folded PMD and PUD
helpers. TLB flushing operations are moved to a more sensible spot.

The page fault handler is also optimized slightly, we no longer waste
cycles on IRQ disabling for flushing of the page from the ITLB, since
we're already under CLI protection by the initial exception handler.

8b395265f8 sh: Fix fatal oops in copy_user_page() on sh4a (SH7780).
We had a pretty interesting oops happening, where copy_user_page()
was down()'ing p3map_sem[] with a bogus offset (particularly, an
offset that hadn't been initialized with sema_init(), due to the
mismatch between cpu_data->dcache.n_aliases and what was assumed
based off of the old CACHE_ALIAS value).

Luckily, spinlock debugging caught this for us, and so we drop
the old hardcoded CACHE_ALIAS for sh4 completely and rely on the
run-time probed cpu_data->dcache.alias_mask. This in turn gets
the p3map_sem[] index right, and everything works again.

While we're at it, also convert to 4-level page tables..

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!
