135ab6ec8f [PATCH] remove remaining errno and __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ references
The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should remove the definition
and everything referring to it.  This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c
file that was introduced earlier.

Also remove every trace of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ that still remained in the
kernel.

6760856791 [PATCH] introduce kernel_execve
The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the
__KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ mechanism that stores the result in a global errno
variable.  As a first step of getting rid of this, change all users to a
global kernel_execve function that returns a proper error code.

This function is a terrible hack, and a later patch removes it again after the
kernel syscalls are gone.

8bb31b9d53 [PATCH] Linux Kernel Dump Test Module
A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism.  This module uses
jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points.  At different crash
points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow.  The user can
activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
time of module insertion.  Please see the file header for usage
information.  The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>.

This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
tasklet_action().

db71daabad [PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: flush_cache_vmap
The existing implementation of ioremap_page_range(), which was taken
from i386, does this:

	flush_cache_all();
	/* modify page tables */
	flush_tlb_all();

I think this is a bit defensive, so this patch changes the generic
implementation to do:

	/* modify page tables */
	flush_cache_vmap(start, end);

instead, which is similar to what vmalloc() does. This should still
be correct because we never modify existing PTEs. According to
James Bottomley:

The problem the flush_tlb_all() is trying to solve is to avoid stale tlb
entries in the ioremap area.  We're just being conservative by flushing
on both map and unmap.  Technically what vmalloc/vfree does (only flush
the tlb on unmap) is just fine because it means that the only tlb
entries in the remap area must belong to in-use mappings.

74588d8ba3 [PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: implementation
This patch adds a generic implementation of ioremap_page_range() in
lib/ioremap.c based on the i386 implementation. It differs from the
i386 version in the following ways:

  * The PTE flags are passed as a pgprot_t argument and must be
    determined up front by the arch-specific code. No additional
    PTE flags are added.
  * Uses set_pte_at() instead of set_pte()

c22f008ba2 [PATCH] spinlock_debug: don't recompute (jiffies_per_loop * HZ) in spinloop
In spinlock_debug.c, the spinloops call __delay() on every iteration.
Because that is an external function, (jiffies_per_loop * HZ), the loop's
iteration limit, gets recomputed every time.  Caching it explicitly
prevents that.

5f97f7f940 [PATCH] avr32 architecture
This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density.  The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture.  It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit.  It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.

Full data sheet is available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.

Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.

This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.

architectures that can also multiply fast.

7e9f4b2d3e Driver core: Don't call put methods while holding a spinlock
The klist utility routines currently call _put methods while holding a
spinlock.  This is of course illegal; a put routine could try to
unregister a device and hence need to sleep.

No problems have arisen until now because in many cases klist removals
were done synchronously, so the _put methods were never actually used.
In other cases we may simply have been lucky.

This patch (as784) reworks the klist routines so that _put methods are
called only _after_ the klist's spinlock has been released.
