      ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state · 540b5738
      Dave Martin 提交于
      Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
      explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
      Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
      kernels.  As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
      decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
      set state.
      
      This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
      be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
      in ARM.
      
      Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.
      
      A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
      support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
      the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
      the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

      ARM: Allow SoCs to enable scatterlist chaining · 74facffe
      Russell King 提交于
      Allow SoCs to enable the scatterlist chaining support, which allows
      scatterlist tables to be broken up into smaller allocations.
      
      As support for this feature depends on the implementation details of
      the users of the scatterlists, we can't enable this globally without
      auditing all the users, which is a very big task.  Instead, let SoCs
      progressively switch over to using this.
      
      SoC drivers using scatterlists and SoC DMA implementations need
      auditing before this option can be enabled for the SoC.

      ns: Wire up the setns system call · 7b21fddd
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
      at closely and I can't find any problems.
      
      setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
      don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
      
      While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
      very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
      the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
      in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
      behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
      the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
      call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
      call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
      new in the 2.6.39.
      
      v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
      v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
      v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
      v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
      v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
      v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

      Oh - ia64 wiring looks good.
