Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

[PATCH] Optimize D-cache alias handling on fork Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away without cache flushing when forking. This patch adds a new cache flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

MIPS: c-r4k: Split user/kernel flush_icache_range() flush_icache_range() is used for both user addresses (i.e. cacheflush(2)), and kernel addresses (as the API documentation describes). This isn't really suitable however for Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) where cache operations on usermode addresses must use a different instruction, and the protected cache ops assume user addresses, making flush_icache_range() ineffective on kernel addresses. Split out a new __flush_icache_user_range() and __local_flush_icache_user_range() for users which actually want to flush usermode addresses (note that flush_icache_user_range() already exists on various architectures but with different arguments). The implementation of flush_icache_range() will be changed in an upcoming commit to use unprotected normal cache ops so as to always work on the kernel mode address space.

MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing. The lazy cache flushing implemented in the MIPS kernel suffers from a race condition that is exposed by do_set_pte() in mm/memory.c. A pre-condition is a file-system that writes to the page from the CPU in its readpage method and then calls flush_dcache_page(). One example is ubifs. Another pre-condition is that the dcache flush is postponed in __flush_dcache_page(). Upon a page fault for an executable mapping not existing in the page-cache, the following will happen: 1. Write to the page 2. flush_dcache_page 3. flush_icache_page 4. set_pte_at 5. update_mmu_cache (commits the flush of a dcache-dirty page) Between steps 4 and 5 another thread can hit the same page and it will encounter a valid pte. Because the data still is in the L1 dcache the CPU will fetch stale data from L2 into the icache and execute garbage. This fix moves the commit of the cache flush to step 3 to close the race window. It also reduces the amount of flushes on non-executable mappings because we never enter __flush_dcache_page() for non-aliasing CPUs. Regressions can occur in drivers that mistakenly relies on the flush_dcache_page() in get_user_pages() for DMA operations.

block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So, this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this. The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is equal 1 or do nothing otherwise. See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion on LKML for more information.

MIPS: Flush dcache for flush_kernel_dcache_page The flush_kernel_dcache_page function was previously essentially a nop. This is incorrect for MIPS, where if a page has been modified & either it aliases or it's executable & the icache doesn't fill from dcache then the content needs to be written back from dcache to the next level of the cache hierarchy (which is shared with the icache). Implement this by simply calling flush_dcache_page, treating this kmapped cache flush function (flush_kernel_dcache_page) exactly the same as its non-kmapped counterpart (flush_dcache_page).
