Ingo, in case you don't have a copy handy, I attach it
below. Please add it to these perf mmap bits in your
tree, thanks!
mm: Make vmalloc_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBA.
When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
D-caches which can have aliases.
Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace and
vice versa.
If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is
shared of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED
will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms
with D-cache aliasing matters.
The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific alignment
can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node(). All existing callers
pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior. vmalloc_user() gives
SHMLBA for the alignment.
As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other
vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems.
