2009-09-22mm: add MAP_HUGETLB for mmaping pseudo-anonymous huge page regionsArnd Bergmann
Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages. The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific meaning to it.

2009-06-11asm-generic: add generic ABI headersArnd Bergmann
These header files are typically copied from an existing architecture into any new one, slightly modified and then remain untouched until the end of time in the name of ABI stability. To make it easier for future architectures, provide a sane generic version here. In cases where multiple architectures already use identical code, I used the most common version. In cases like stat.h that are more or less broken everywhere, I provide a version that is meant to be ideal for new architectures.

2009-06-11asm-generic: rename termios.h, signal.h and mman.hArnd Bergmann
The existing asm-generic versions are incomplete and included by some architectures. New architectures should be able to use a generic version, so rename the existing files and change all users, which lets us add the new files.

2007-02-11[PATCH] Remove final references to deprecated "MAP_ANON" page protection flagRobert P. J. Day
Remove the last vestiges of the long-deprecated "MAP_ANON" page protection flag: use "MAP_ANONYMOUS" instead. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@mindspring.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-02-15[PATCH] add asm-generic/mman.hMichael S. Tsirkin
Make new MADV_REMOVE, MADV_DONTFORK, MADV_DOFORK consistent across all arches. The idea is to make it possible to use them portably even before distros include them in libc headers.
