For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add().
In usual,
- range of physical memory
- range of vmalloc area
- text, etc...
are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It
doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary
memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required
physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory
hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating
information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on
/proc/iomem.

For /proc/kcore, vmalloc areas are registered per arch. But, all of them
registers same range of [VMALLOC_START...VMALLOC_END) This patch unifies
them. By this. archs which have no kclist_add() hooks can see vmalloc
area correctly.

Presently, kclist_add() only eats start address and size as its arguments.
Considering to make kclist dynamically reconfigulable, it's necessary to
know which kclists are for System RAM and which are not.
This patch add kclist types as
KCORE_RAM
KCORE_VMALLOC
KCORE_TEXT
KCORE_OTHER
This "type" is used in a patch following this for detecting KCORE_RAM.

By combining swapper_pg_dir and module_pg_dir, several if conditions
can be eliminated from the tlb exception handler. The reason they
can be combined is that, the effective virtual address of vmalloc
returned is at the bottom, and of module_alloc returned is at the
top. It also fixes the bug in vmalloc(), which happens when its
return address is not covered by the first pgd.

introduces the variable _page_cachable_default, which defaults to zero and.
is used to create the prototype PTE for __kmap_atomic in
arch/mips/mm/init.c:kmap_init before initialization in
arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c:coherency_setup, so the default value of 0 will be
used as the CCA of kmap atomic pages which on many processors is not a
defined CCA value and may result in writes to kmap_atomic pages getting
corrupted. Debugged by Jon Fraser (jfraser@broadcom.com).

Sibyte SOCs only have 32-bit PCI. Due to the sparse use of the address
space only the first 1GB of memory is mapped at physical addresses
below 1GB. If a system has more than 1GB of memory 32-bit DMA will
not be able to reach all of it.
For now this patch is good enough to keep Sibyte users happy but it seems
eventually something like swiotlb will be needed for Sibyte.

Turns out b868868ae0 wasn't quite right.
When called for a page that isn't marked dirty it would artificially
create an alias instead of doing the obvious thing and access the page
via KSEG0.
The same issue also exists in copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page
which was causing the machine to die under rare circumstances for example
when running ps if the BUG_ON() assertion added by the earlier fix was
getting triggered.

Copy_user_highpage was written assuming it was only being called for
breaking COW pages in which case the source page isn't cached as in
marked cachable under it kernel virtual address. If it is called anyway
the aliasing avoidance strategy implemented by kmap_coherent will fail.
Avoid the use of kmap_coherent for pages marked dirty and to avoid
another instance of this sort of bug, place a BUG_ON in kmap_coherent.

__pa() was used by virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid(). These
latter are used when kernel is initialised so __pa() is not
appropriate, we use virt_to_phys() instead.
Futhermore __pa() is going to take care of CKSEG0/XKPHYS
address mix for 64 bit kernels. This makes __pa() more complex
than virt_to_phys() and this extra work is not needed by
virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid().
Eventually it consolidates virt_to_phys() prototype by making
its argument 'const'. this avoids some warnings that was due
to some virt_to_page() usages which pass const pointer.

The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy.
This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB
virtually unusable.
Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very
slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming
model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines.

With some memory model other than FLATMEM, the single node can
contains some holes so there might be many invalid pages. For
example, with two 256M memory and one 256M hole, some variables
(num_physpage, totalpages, nr_kernel_pages, nr_all_pages, etc.) will
indicate that there are 768MB on this system. This is not desired
because, for example, alloc_large_system_hash() allocates too many
entries.
Use free_area_init_node() with counted zholes_size[] instead of
free_area_init().
For num_physpages, use number of ram pages instead of max_low_pfn.

Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
They're all virtually identical. This patch consolidates all of them.
One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file. To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.
Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done. This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
