      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      
      First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
      function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
      mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
      
      This patch
      a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
      b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
      c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
      d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
      e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
         getting them indirectly
      
      Net result is:
      a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
         they don't need sched.h
      b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
         on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
         after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).
      
      Cross-compile tested on
      
      	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
      	alpha alpha-up
      	arm
      	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
      	ia64 ia64-up
      	m68k
      	mips
      	parisc parisc-up
      	powerpc powerpc-up
      	s390 s390-up
      	sparc sparc-up
      	sparc64 sparc64-up
      	um-x86_64
      	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig
      
      as well as my two usual configs.

      [PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: flush_cache_vmap · db71daab
      Haavard Skinnemoen authored
      
      The existing implementation of ioremap_page_range(), which was taken
      from i386, does this:
      
      	flush_cache_all();
      	/* modify page tables */
      	flush_tlb_all();
      
      I think this is a bit defensive, so this patch changes the generic
      implementation to do:
      
      	/* modify page tables */
      	flush_cache_vmap(start, end);
      
      instead, which is similar to what vmalloc() does. This should still
      be correct because we never modify existing PTEs. According to
      James Bottomley:
      
      The problem the flush_tlb_all() is trying to solve is to avoid stale tlb
      entries in the ioremap area.  We're just being conservative by flushing
      on both map and unmap.  Technically what vmalloc/vfree does (only flush
      the tlb on unmap) is just fine because it means that the only tlb
      entries in the remap area must belong to in-use mappings.

      [PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: implementation · 74588d8b
      Haavard Skinnemoen authored
      
      This patch adds a generic implementation of ioremap_page_range() in
      lib/ioremap.c based on the i386 implementation. It differs from the
      i386 version in the following ways:
      
        * The PTE flags are passed as a pgprot_t argument and must be
          determined up front by the arch-specific code. No additional
          PTE flags are added.
        * Uses set_pte_at() instead of set_pte()
