Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.
The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.
With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

The following moves the creation of IPR interupts into setup-7750.c
and updates a few other things to make it all work after the "Drop
CPU subtype IRQ headers" commit. It boots and runs fine on my titan
board.
- adds an ipr_idx to the ipr_data and uses a function in the subtype
code to calculate the address of the IPR registers
- adds a function to enable individual interrupt mode for externals
in the subtype code and calls that from the titan board code
instead of doing it directly.
- I changed the shift in the ipr_data to be the actual # of bits to
shift, instead of the numnber / 4 - made it easier to match with
the manual.

There were a number of places that made evil PAGE_SIZE == 4k
assumptions that ended up breaking when trying to play with
8k and 64k page sizes, this fixes those up.
The most significant change is the way we load THREAD_SIZE,
previously this was done via:
mov #(THREAD_SIZE >> 8), reg
shll8 reg
to avoid a memory access and allow the immediate load. With
a 64k PAGE_SIZE, we're out of range for the immediate load
size without resorting to special instructions available in
later ISAs (movi20s and so on). The "workaround" for this is
to bump up the shift to 10 and insert a shll2, which gives a
bit more flexibility while still being much cheaper than a
memory access.

This adds some preliminary support for the SH-X2 MMU, used by
newer SH-4A parts (particularly SH7785).
This MMU implements a 'compat' mode with SH-X MMUs and an
'extended' mode for SH-X2 extended features. Extended features
include additional page sizes (8kB, 4MB, 64MB), as well as the
addition of page execute permissions.
The extended mode attributes are placed in a second data array,
which requires us to switch to 64-bit PTEs when in X2 mode.
With the addition of the exec perms, we also overhaul the mmap
prots somewhat, now that it's possible to handle them more
intelligently.

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.

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...

Currently when making changes to control registers, we
typically need some time for changes to take effect (8
nops, generally). However, for sh4a we simply need to
do an icbi..
This is a simple patch for implementing a general purpose
ctrl_barrier() which functions as a control register write
barrier. There's some additional documentation in the patch
itself, but it's pretty self explanatory.
There were also some places where we were not doing the
barrier, which didn't seem to have any adverse effects on
legacy parts, but certainly did on sh4a. It's safer to have
the barrier in place for legacy parts as well in these cases,
though this does make flush_tlb_all() more expensive (by an
order of 8 nops). We can ifdef around the flush_tlb_all()
case for now if it's clear that all legacy parts won't have
a problem with this.

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..

flush_cache_range() wasn't page aligning the end of the range,
we can't assume that it will always be page aligned, and we
ended up getting unaligned faults in some rare call paths.
Additionally, we add a small optimization to just purge the

table walking will take longer. We use an arbitrary value of
64 pages for the large range size, as per sh64.

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.
Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.
