Support page table check on all PowerPC platforms. This works by serialising assignments, reassignments and clears of page table entries at each level in order to ensure that anonymous mappings have at most one writable consumer, and likewise that file-backed mappings are not simultaneously also anonymous mappings. In order to support this infrastructure, a number of stubs must be defined for all powerpc platforms. Additionally, separate set_pte_at() and set_pte_at_unchecked(), to allow for internal, uninstrumented mappings. (This series was written by Rohan McLure, who has left IBM and is no longer working on powerpc.)
Anything more we need to get this merged? Thanks, -- Andrew Donnellan OzLabs, ADL Canberra ajd@linux.ibm.com IBM Australia Limited
