c34d1b4d16 [PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable
check_user_page_readable is a problematic variant of follow_page.  It's used
only by oprofile's i386 and arm backtrace code, at interrupt time, to
establish whether a userspace stackframe is currently readable.

This is problematic, because we want to push the page_table_lock down inside
follow_page, and later split it; whereas oprofile is doing a spin_trylock on
it (in the i386 case, forgotten in the arm case), and needs that to pin
perhaps two pages spanned by the stackframe (which might be covered by
different locks when we split).

I think oprofile is going about this in the wrong way: it doesn't need to know
the area is readable (neither i386 nor arm uses read protection of user
pages), it doesn't need to pin the memory, it should simply
__copy_from_user_inatomic, and see if that succeeds or not.  Sorry, but I've
not got around to devising the sparse __user annotations for this.

Then we can eliminate check_user_page_readable, and return to a single
follow_page without the __follow_page variants.

c6b9dafce3 [ARM] 4/4 Combine oprofile common and init code
There is nothing special about having the init code separate from
the common code, so combine the two.

55f052341f [ARM] 3/4 Rename common oprofile code
The common oprofile code assumes the name "PMU" (from Intel's
performance management unit).  This is misleading when we
start adding oprofile support for other machine types which
don't use the same terminology.  Call it op_arm_* instead of
pmu_*.

7c5b3fc208 [ARM] 2/4 Fix oprofile suspend/resume
The oprofile suspend/resume was missing locking.  If we failed
to start oprofile on resume, we still reported that it was
enabled.  Instead, disable oprofile on error.

fa0ebff62a [PATCH] ARM: 2761/1: OProfile: Add call graphing support for arm
Patch from Richard Purdie

Add functions to generate backtraces of both kernel and user processes
which allows oprofile's call graphing functionality to be used on arm.
This requires unstripped binaries/libs which use a frame pointer.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
