4f911d64e0 Make /dev/port conditional on config symbol
Instead of having /dev/port support dependent in multiple places on a
string of preprocessor symbols, define a new configuration directive for
it.  This ensures that all four places remain consistent with each other.

6d3154cc11 Revert "[PATCH] Fix up mmap_kmem"
This reverts commit 99a10a60ba.

As per Hugh Dickins:

  "Nadia Derbey has reported that mmap of /dev/kmem no longer works with
   the kernel virtual address as offset, and Franck has confirmed that
   his patch came from a misunderstanding of what an offset means to
   /dev/kmem - whereas his patch description seems to say that he was
   correcting the offset on a few plaforms, there was no such problem to
   correct, and his patch was in fact changing its API on all platforms."

5fcf7bb73f [PATCH] read_zero_pagealigned() locking fix
Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645.  Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there.  It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.

The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected.  So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.

Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there.  And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that
than -ENOMEM.

99a10a60ba [PATCH] Fix up mmap_kmem
vma->vm_pgoff is an pfn _offset_ relatif to the begining
of the memory start. The previous code was doing at first:

	vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT

which results into a wrong physical address since some
platforms have a physical mem start that can be different
from 0. After that the previous call __pa() on this
wrong physical address, however __pa() is used to convert
a _virtual_ address into a physical one.

This patch rewrites this convertion. It calculates the
pfn of PAGE_OFFSET which is the pfn of the mem start
then it adds the vma->vm_pgoff to it.

It also uses virt_to_phys() instead of __pa() since the
latter shouldn't be used by drivers.

06c67befee [PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfn
Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.

There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
>= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
address:

	static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);

And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:

	static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
	{
		size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;

		if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))

So that's not much help either.

This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

Pass the size, not a pointer to the size, to efi_mem_attribute_range().

This function validates memory regions for the /dev/mem read/write/mmap paths.
The pointer allows arches to reduce the size of the range, but I think that's

80851ef2a5 [PATCH] /dev/mem: validate mmap requests
Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests.

This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write
paths.

The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or
64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or
uncacheable).  This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a
machine check.

Sample problem scenario:
  - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K
  - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule
  - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0
  - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here")
  - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB
    memory, e.g., sx1000)

In the scenario above, the only choices are
  - Use WB for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because it causes attribute
    aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space.
  - Use UC for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because the chipset may not
    support UC for that region.
  - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL.  That's what this patch does.

6aab341e0a mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic
This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP.  It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.

Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way.  It just works.  As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

Sparc update from David in the next commit.

8b150478ae [PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses
Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an
address.  This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G
on 32-bit architectures.  We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no
need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the
conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G.

Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an
address by directly comparing to max_pfn.  Working with max_pfn instead of
high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.
