2005-06-23	[PATCH] ppc64: add BPA platform type	Arnd Bergmann	1	-0/+2
	This adds the basic support for running on BPA machines. So far, this is only the IBM workstation, and it will not run on others without a little more generalization. It should be possible to configure a kernel for any combination of CONFIG_PPC_BPA with any of the other multiplatform targets.

2005-06-21	[PATCH] ppc64: override command line AS/LD/CC variables when adding -m64 and co for biarch compilers	Sven Luther	1	-3/+3
	The following kind of calls currently fails : make ARCH=ppc64 CC="gcc-3.4" Since the code for detecting a biarch compiler and adding the needed 64bit magic argument fails if the AS/LD/CC commands are overriden in the command line. The attached patch fixes this by using the make override and += directive, but i am not 100% sure this will work without gmake, as i am no Makefile expert.

2005-05-03	[PATCH] ppc64: fix gcc 4.0 vs CONFIG_ALTIVEC	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-0/+7
	gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel. However, we used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented building the RAID6 altivec code. This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version. If 4.0 or later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add -maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support. For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code. The Makefile hackery may not be the most lovely, I welcome anybody more skilled than me to improve it.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+122
	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!
