This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.
With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

We're going to be messing around with the PMD interpretation and layout
for the sake of transparent huge pages, so we better clearly document what
we're starting with.

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of
a full page. This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page
support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.
What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.
This logic triggers only on allocations. For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port
does.
There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change:
1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *". There's all of this special
logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
PMD populate interfaces.
2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct
just gets copied from the parent on fork.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page
support.
Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB.
The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE
!= PMD_SIZE.
So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page.
We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which
on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures
that this requirement is always met.
There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of
the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page
yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working
properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

Narrowing the scope of the page size configurations will make the
transparent hugepage changes much simpler.
In the end what we really want to do is have the kernel support multiple
huge page sizes and use whatever is appropriate as the context dictactes.

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.
This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.
This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This has three changes for asm-generic that did not really fit into
any other branch as normal asm-generic changes do. One is a fix for a
build warning, the other two are more interesting:
* A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock
infrastructure on all architectures, so we can use the clock API in
architecture independent device drivers.
* The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic
files. There are other architecture specific series that are going
through the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one.
There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and the
following arch header file split patches. In each case the solution
will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it ends
up being the only line in the Kbuild file."

Pull sparc changes from David S Miller:
"There is an attempt to fix a bad interaction between syscall tracing
and force_successful_syscall() from Al Viro, but it needs to be redone
as it introduced regressions and thus had to be reverted for now.
Al is working on an updated version.
But what we do have here are some significant bzero/memset
improvements for Niagara-4. An 8K page can be cleared in around 600
cycles, because we essentially have a store that behaves like
powerpc's dcbz that we can actually make real use of."

This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.
We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.
As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.
As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
at least 50 cycles.
For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
Niagara-1 variants instead. Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
way.
A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.
Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
ASIs. By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
Recently Used. If we know we're going to use the data immediately
(which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
evicted before they get used.

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.
Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.
We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().
This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec862ea ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
exec") and 59e4c3a2fe9c ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
exec") in a similar way already).

After fixing a couple of brainos, it even seems to work. What's done here
is move of ->syscall_noerror right before FPDEPTH byte in ->flags and
using sth to [%g6 + TI_SYS_NOERROR] instead of stb to [%g6 + TI_FPDEPTH] in
both branches of etrap_save. AFAICS, that ought to be solid. Again,
deciding what to do with now unused delay slot of branch on ->syscall_noerror
and dealing with the order of tests in ret_from_sys is a separate question,
but at least that way we don't have to clean ->syscall_noerror in there at
all. AFAICS, it ought to be a clear win - sth is not going to cost more than
stb on etrap_64.S side of things, and we are losing write on syscalls.S one.

(1) fix up #inclusions of "foo.h" rather than <foo.h>.
(2) Remove some redundant #includes from the DRM code.
(3) Make the kernel build infrastructure handle Kbuild files both in

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()

vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of

This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support.
The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile()
directly and avoids set_fs().
The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while
powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers
for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion.
compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since
compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system.
On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from
sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.

This function was only used to set of_pdt_build_more to leon_node_init().
But the leon_node_init() was a nop as prom_amba_init was never assigned.

sparc32 does not support fixmaps - so do not pretend so by
having the fixmap.h file.
Move relevant parts to vaddrs.h.
I looked at simplifying this even more but failed to understand
the reasoning behind the extra guard page involved and due to
missing testing possibilities only the trivial conversion was done.

Remove all unused stuff from fixmap.h
It is only used for highmem - sparc32 has no fixmap support.

We save one page of RAM dropping swapper_pg_dir.
It was only used for an assignment in init-mm.c and we
redid this later in srmmu.c anyway.
This is likely a left-over from the sun4c removal.
To avoid a dummy variable we use a simple #define swapper_pg_dir NULL

Nothing includes these two headers. None of the macros they define are
used anywhere in the tree. This was also the case in v2.6.12-rc2 and,
presumably, every release in between. These two headers can safely be
removed.

Pull third pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro:
"This time it's mostly helpers and conversions to them; there's a lot
of stuff remaining in the tree, but that'll either go in -rc2
(isolated bug fixes, ideally via arch maintainers' trees) or will sit
there until the next cycle."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel mode
blackfin: check __get_user() return value
whack-a-mole with TIF_FREEZE
FRV: Optimise the system call exit path in entry.S [ver #2]
FRV: Shrink TIF_WORK_MASK [ver #2]
FRV: Prevent syscall exit tracing and notify_resume at end of kernel exceptions
new helper: signal_delivered()
powerpc: get rid of restore_sigmask()
most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set
set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING (and never should be)
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK can be set only when TIF_SIGPENDING is set
don't call try_to_freeze() from do_signal()
pull clearing RESTORE_SIGMASK into block_sigmask()
sh64: failure to build sigframe != signal without handler
openrisc: tracehook_signal_handler() is supposed to be called on success
new helper: sigmask_to_save()
new helper: restore_saved_sigmask()
new helpers: {clear,test,test_and_clear}_restore_sigmask()
HAVE_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined on all architectures now

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs changes from Al Viro.
"A lot of misc stuff. The obvious groups:
* Miklos' atomic_open series; kills the damn abuse of
->d_revalidate() by NFS, which was the major stumbling block for
all work in that area.
* ripping security_file_mmap() and dealing with deadlocks in the
area; sanitizing the neighborhood of vm_mmap()/vm_munmap() in
general.
* ->encode_fh() switched to saner API; insane fake dentry in
mm/cleancache.c gone.
* assorted annotations in fs (endianness, __user)
* parts of Artem's ->s_dirty work (jff2 and reiserfs parts)
* ->update_time() work from Josef.
* other bits and pieces all over the place.
Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but
signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/"
Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the
'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS
update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due
to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby).
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (95 commits)
nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate
vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry
vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): don't throw away file on error
vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): inline __dentry_open()
vfs: do_dentry_open(): don't put filp
vfs: split __dentry_open()
vfs: do_last() common post lookup
vfs: do_last(): add audit_inode before open
vfs: do_last(): only return EISDIR for O_CREAT
vfs: do_last(): check LOOKUP_DIRECTORY
vfs: do_last(): make ENOENT exit RCU safe
vfs: make follow_link check RCU safe
vfs: do_last(): use inode variable
vfs: do_last(): inline walk_component()
vfs: do_last(): make exit RCU safe
vfs: split do_lookup()
Btrfs: move over to use ->update_time
fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time
reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super
reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later
