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
dcache entirely if the range is large enough that the page
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.

Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.
Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range(). On powerpc, which
implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
used.
In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).
This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range(). Instead
prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly. Most archs use the default
version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
hugepage. ia64 and powerpc define custom versions. The ia64 one simply
checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
being suitably aligned. The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
set up new areas for use by hugepages.
No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR).

There was only one board using this (hp690 specifically), and it just so
happens that it's only physically discontiguous at the "normal" P1 offset. If
we bump up the P1 offset, it's possible to hit a shadowed region of memory
where we suddenly become magically contiguous.
As people have been using this shadowed region workaround for quite some time
(and without any adverse effects), it's time to drop the left over discontig
bits that no longer have any practical use (it was always very much
hp690-centric to begin with).

The sh64 flush_cache_range and helpers: which wrongly thought callers held
page_table_lock before (only its tlb_start_vma did, and no longer does so);

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
