2009-04-01[ARM] 5440/1: Fix VFP state corruption due to preemption during VFP exceptionsGeorge G. Davis
We've observed that ARM VFP state can be corrupted during VFP exception handling when PREEMPT is enabled. The exact conditions are difficult to reproduce but appear to occur during VFP exception handling when a task causes a VFP exception which is handled via VFP_bounce and is then preempted by yet another task which in turn causes yet another VFP exception. Since the VFP_bounce code is not preempt safe, VFP state then becomes corrupt. In order to prevent preemption from occuring while handling a VFP exception, this patch disables preemption while handling VFP exceptions. Signed-off-by: George G.

2008-09-01[ARM] 5227/1: Add the ENDPROC declarations to the .S filesCatalin Marinas
This declaration specifies the "function" type and size for various assembly functions, mainly needed for generating the correct branch instructions in Thumb-2. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-06-10[ARM] VFP: fix section mismatch errorRussell King
Fix a real section mismatch issue; the test code is thrown away after initialisation, but if we do not detect the VFP hardware, it is left hooked into the exception handler. Any VFP instructions which are subsequently executed risk calling the discarded exception handler. Introduce a new "null" handler which returns to the "unrecognised fault" return address.

2007-01-25[ARM] 4111/1: Allow VFP to work with thread migration on SMPCatalin Marinas
The current lazy saving of the VFP registers is no longer possible with thread migration on SMP. This patch implements a per-CPU vfp-state pointer and the saving of the VFP registers at every context switch. The registers restoring is still performed in a lazy way.

2006-03-23[ARM] Move enable_irq and disable_irq to assembler.hRussell King
5d25ac038a317d454a4321cba955f756400835a5 broke VFP builds due to enable_irq not being defined as an assembly macro. Move it to assembler.h so everyone can use it. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-03-21[ARM] Move IRQ enable after coprocessor number decodeRussell King
Allow the individual coprocessor handlers to decide when to enable interrupts, rather than unconditionally enabling them. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

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!
