2010-04-21	ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.c	Russell King	1	-20/+20
	/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077' This is caused because: .section .data .section .text .section .text .previous does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections is not known. Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-07-24	Thumb-2: Implement the unified arch/arm/lib functions	Catalin Marinas	1	-2/+5
	This patch adds the ARM/Thumb-2 unified support for the arch/arm/lib/* files. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-05-29	[ARM] allow for alternative __copy_to_user/__clear_user implementations	Nicolas Pitre	1	-0/+2
	This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std. Same thing for __clear_user. Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

2008-11-29	[ARM] Remove linux/sched.h from asm/cacheflush.h and asm/uaccess.h	Russell King	1	-1/+2
	... and fix those drivers that were incorrectly relying upon that include. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-27	[ARM] remove memzero()	Russell King	1	-1/+1
	As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug. Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero(). Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-09-01	[ARM] 5230/1: Replace post-indexed LDRT/STRT in uaccess.h	Catalin Marinas	1	-5/+5
	The post-index immediate value is optional if it is 0 and this patch removes it. The reason is to allow such instructions to compile to Thumb-2 where only pre-indexed LDRT/STRT instructions are allowed.

2008-08-02	[ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asm	Russell King	1	-0/+444
	Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
