Patch from Catalin Marinas
cpu_v6_set_pte() sets the kernel access rights to r/o for user
pages (L_PTE_USER) when neither L_PTE_WRITE nor L_PTE_DIRTY are
set. This causes a kernel data abort when writing the TLS value
in the 0xffff0000 page. This patch enables the kernel r/w access.

Current IXP4xx debug macros do not work in the small window between
the MMU being enabled and the call to map_io() b/c the standard
peripheral mapping is not properly setup for use with the low-level

UART specifically for use with the debug macros.

The attached patch causes the various arch specific install.sh scripts to
look for ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel rather than just installkernel (in
both /sbin/ and ~/bin/ where the script already did this). This allows you
to have e.g. arm-linux-installkernel as a handy way to install on your
cross target. It also prevents the script picking up on the host
/sbin/installkernel which causes the script to fall through and do the
install itself (which is what I actually use myself, with $INSTALL_PATH
set).
I don't believe it causes back-compatibility problems since calling the
host installkernel was never likely to work or be what you wanted when
cross compiling anyway. If $CROSS_COMPILE isn't set then nothing changes.
I only use ARM and i386 myself but I figured it couldn't hurt to do the
whole lot. I've cc'd those who I hope are the arch maintainers for files
that I've touched.

For all architectures, this just means that you'll see a "Memory Model"
choice in your architecture menu. For those that implement DISCONTIGMEM,
you may eventually want to make your ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE a "def_bool
y" and make your users select DISCONTIGMEM right out of the new choice
menu. The only disadvantage might be if you have some specific things that
you need in your help option to explain something about DISCONTIGMEM.

Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.
The problem is twofold:
1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always
searched from the base address on.
So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
large and available for larger requests.
2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of
1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.
Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The IXP2000 has four timers, but if we're on an A-step IXP2800, timer
2 and 3 don't work. We need two timers for timekeeping (one for the
timer interrupt and one for tracking missed jiffies), so on early
IXP2800s we have no other choice but to use timer 1 and 4 for that,
but on all other IXP2000s we'd rather leave timer 4 free since that's
the only timer we can use for the watchdog.
So, on buggy IXP2000s (i.e. the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 4 for
tracking missed jiffies, and on all all non-buggy IXP2000s (i.e.
everything but the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 2.
On a pre-production IXP2800, this patch should print these messages
on boot:
Enabling IXP2800 erratum #25 workaround
Unable to use IXP2000 watchdog due to IXP2800 erratum #25
On any non-buggy IXP2800 (as well as on IXP2400s) you shouldn't see
anything at all, and the watchdog should be usable again.

The ARM generic Kconfig filters out IDE options ... except for
an error prone ARMload of special cases.
This adds one general case to the systems that will offer IDE options:
kernels with PCMCIA support, which probably want to use IDE to access
CompactFlash cards. This might allow many (most?) of the other cases
to disappear, for systems that only see IDE hardware through CF cards.
Right now this one patch is used to gate access to CF cards, including
MicroDrives, for both omap_cf and at91_cf drivers.
