2005-10-04[ARM] 2952/1: fix a register clobber listNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre If gcc decides to assign lr to %0 we're screwed. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-09-01[ARM] 2865/2: fix fadvise64_64 syscall argument passingNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre The prototype for sys_fadvise64_64() is: long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice) The argument list is therefore as follows on legacy ABI: fd: type int (r0) offset: type long long (r1-r2) len: type long long (r3-sp[0]) advice: type int (sp[4]) With EABI this becomes: fd: type int (r0) offset: type long long (r2-r3) len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4]) advice: type int (sp[8]) Not only do we have ABI differences here, but the EABI version requires one additional word on the syscall stack. To avoid the ABI mismatch and the extra stack space required with EABI this syscall is now defined with a different argument ordering on ARM as follows: long sys_arm_fadvise64_64(int fd, int advice, loff_t offset, loff_t len) This gives us the following ABI independent argument distribution: fd: type int (r0) advice: type int (r1) offset: type long long (r2-r3) len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4]) Now, since the syscall entry code takes care of 5 registers only by default including the store of r4 to the stack, we need a wrapper to store r5 to the stack as well. Because that wrapper was missing and was always required this means that sys_fadvise64_64 never worked on ARM and therefore we can safely reuse its syscall number for our new sys_arm_fadvise64_64 interface.

2005-05-05[PATCH] ARM: Fix kernel stack offset calculationsRussell King
Various places in the ARM kernel implicitly assumed that kernel stacks are always 8K due to hard coded constants. Replace these constants with definitions. Correct the allowable range of kernel stack pointer values within the allocation. Arrange for the entire kernel stack to be zeroed, not just the upper 4K if CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE is set.

2005-04-19[PATCH] freepgt: arm FIRST_USER_ADDRESS PAGE_SIZEHugh Dickins
ARM define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as PAGE_SIZE (beyond the machine vectors when they are mapped low), and use that definition in place of locally defined MIN_MAP_ADDR.

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!
