Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device
memory. But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB. This leads to
problems for kexec/kdump.
Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a
memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced. Given the
fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to
see and use that memory.
Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the
system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers. After a crash new kernel
parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared
accordingly. As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees
that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it. Hence vmcore is truncated
and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system.
This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

Add a "make isoimage" to i386 and x86-64, which allows the automatic
creation of a bootable CD image. It also adds an option FDINITRD= to
include an initrd of the user's choice in generated floppy- or CD boot
images. Finally, some minor cleanups of the image generation code.

We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from
get_user_pages() and does something like
kmap_atomic(page)
modify page
kunmap_atomic(page)
However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the
kunmap. We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would
specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the
kernel has modified. The driver would need to add
flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap.

Currently, get_user_pages() returns fully coherent pages to the kernel for
anything other than anonymous pages. This is a problem for things like
fuse and the SCSI generic ioctl SG_IO which can potentially wish to do DMA
to anonymous pages passed in by users.
The fix is to add a new memory management API: flush_anon_page() which
is used in get_user_pages() to make anonymous pages coherent.

It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
of entries in the proc file system that are siblings. There's no protection
around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
subdirectory.
This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL. So the BKL was
at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
may be called with spinlocks held. The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
solution.
The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
called proc_subdir_lock. This lock now protects the list in
remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
list is modified and added this protection there too. Care must be taken
since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.
Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of
the spin lock was _not_ used.

Quoting RMK:
|pte_write() just says that the page _may_ be writable. It doesn't say
|that the MMU is programmed to allow writes. If pte_dirty() doesn't
|return true, that means that the page is _not_ writable from userspace.
|If you write to it from kernel mode (without using put_user) you'll
|bypass the MMU read-only protection and may end up writing to a page
|owned by two separate processes.

o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash
on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be
locked.
o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence
interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC
sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other
pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt
is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this
interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31
locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for
EOI.
o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.
o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.
