285f5fa7e9 [ARM] 3995/1: iop13xx: add iop13xx support
The iop348 processor integrates an Xscale (XSC3 512KB L2 Cache) core with a
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller, multi-ported DDR2 memory
controller, 3 Application Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers, a 133Mhz
PCI-X interface, a x8 PCI-Express interface, and other peripherals to form
a system-on-a-chip RAID subsystem engine.

The iop342 processor replaces the SAS controller with a second Xscale core
for dual core embedded applications.

The iop341 processor is the single core version of iop342.

This patch supports the two Intel customer reference platforms iq81340mc
for external storage and iq81340sc for direct attach (HBA) development.

6afd6fae1d [ARM] nommu: confirms the CR_V bit in nommu mode
In nommu mode, the exception vector location depends on the platforms.
Some of the implementations may have some special exception control
forwarding method in their ROM/flash and for some of them has its own
re-mapping mechanism by the h/w.

This patch introduces a special configuration CONFIG_CPU_HIGH_VECTOR which
turns on the CR_V bit in nommu mode. The CR_V bit is turned off by default.
This feature depends on CP15 and does not supported by ARM740.

fefdaa06cc [ARM] nommu: defines CPU_CP15, CPU_CP15_MMU and CPU_CP15_MPU
By merging of uClinux/ARM, we need to treat various CPU cores which have
MMU, MPU or even none for memory management. The memory management
coprocessors are controlled by CP15 register set and the ARM core family
can be categorized by 5 groups by the register ;
  G-a. CP15 is MMU : 610, 710, 720, 920, 922, 925, 926, 1020, 1020e, 1022,
		v6 and the derivations sa1100, sa110, xscale, xsc3.
  G-b. CP15 is MPU : 740, 940, 946, 996, 1156.
  G-c. CP15 is MPU or MMU : 1026 (selectable by schematic design)
  G-d. CP15 is exist, but nothing for memory managemnt : 966, 968.
  G-e. no-CP15 : 7tdmi, 9tdmi, 9e, 9ej

This patch defines CPU_CP15, CPU_CP15_MMU and CPU_CP15_MPU. Thus the
family can be defined as :
  - CPU_CP15 only : G-d
  - CPU_CP15_MMU(implies CPU_CP15) : G-a, G-c(selectable)
  - CPU_CP15_MPU(implies CPU_CP15) : G-b, G-c(selectable)
  - !CPU_CP15 : G-e

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

On armv4t systems, we have always compiled the kernel with -march=armv4
instead of -march=armv4t, which means that any use of bx will bomb out.

Commit ba9b5d7637 introduced the use of
bx in the kernel, which means we need to compile with -march=armv4t on

23bdf86aa0 [ARM] 3377/2: add support for intel xsc3 core
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core.  This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:

- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)

I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.

L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.

There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.

b288f75ffa [PATCH] ARM: 2798/1: OMAP update 2/11: Change ARM Kconfig to support omap1 and omap2
Patch from Tony Lindgren

This patch by Paul Mundt and other OMAP developers modifies
ARM specific Kconfig to allow sharing code between OMAP1 and
OMAP2 architectures.
In order to share code between OMAP1 and OMAP2, all OMAP1
specific code is moved into mach-omap1 directory in the
following patch. A new mach-omap2 directory will be added
later on.

038c5b6025 [PATCH] ARM: 2686/2: AAEC-2000 Core support
Patch from Bellido Nicolas

Core support for AAEC-2000 based platforms.
This is an updated version of the previous patch, and takes
into account Russell's comments.
AAED-2000 default configuration will follow as soon
as some problems with the bootloader are sorted out...

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Not that there might be many of them on the planet, but at least RMK
apparently has one.

f8f98a9335 [PATCH] ARM: Fix Xscale copy_page implementation
The ARM copypage changes in 2.6.12-rc4-git1 removed the preempt locking
from the copypage functions which broke the XScale implementation.
This patch fixes the locking on XScale and removes the now unneeded
minicache code.

2d2669b629 [PATCH] ARM: 2651/3: kernel helpers for NPTL support
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call.  This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory.  Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number.  This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
   retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
   gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
   NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
   instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was
   determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be
   much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is
   present or not.

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.

Let it rip!
