7ae5a761d2 [ARM] Convert DMA cache handling to take const void * args
The DMA cache handling functions take virtual addresses, but in the
form of unsigned long arguments.  This leads to a little confusion
about what exactly they take.  So, convert them to take const void *
instead.

953233dc99 [ARM] 4134/1: Add generic support for outer caches
The outer cache can be L2 as on RealView/EB MPCore platform or even L3
or further on ARMv7 cores. This patch adds the generic support for
flushing the outer cache in the DMA operations.

6020dff092 [ARM] Resolve fuse and direct-IO failures due to missing cache flushes
fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants
to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into
kernel space.  However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel
mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to
userspace.

This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data
corruption for direct-IO.

This resolves debian bug #402876

1c9d3df5e8 [ARM] 4078/1: Fix ARM copypage cache coherency problems
If PG_dcache_dirty is set for a page, we need to flush the source page
before performing any copypage operation using a different virtual address.

This fixes the copypage implementations for XScale, StrongARM and ARMv6.

This patch fixes segmentation faults seen in the dynamic linker under
the usage patterns in glibc 2.4/2.5.

ec8c0446b6 [PATCH] Optimize D-cache alias handling on fork
Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away
without cache flushing when forking.  This patch adds a new cache
flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the
moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures
except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

6cc7cbef94 [ARM] Use CPU_CACHE_* where possible in asm/cacheflush.h
Three of the generic cache method options were using explicit CPU
types, whereas they could use the CPU_CACHE_* definitions instead.
Switch them over to use the CPU_CACHE_* definitions.

f37f46eb1c [ARM] nommu: add ARM946E-S core support
This patch adds ARM946E-S core support which has typically 8KB I&D cache.
It has a MPU and supports ARMv5TE instruction set.

Because the ARM946E-S core can be synthesizable with various cache size,
CONFIG_CPU_DCACHE_SIZE is defined for vendor specific configurations.

a188ad2bc7 [ARM] 3762/1: Fix ptrace cache coherency bug for ARM1136 VIPT nonaliasing Harvard caches
Patch from George G. Davis

Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".

NOTES:

1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
   coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page".  However
   flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
   for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
   non-aliasing case.  So memory is consistent between kernel and user
   space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
   range.  IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
   memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
   the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
   invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable.  We don't
   need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
   case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
   process above if we access "page" again.  The flush_ptrace_access()
   function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
   cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

23bdf86aa0 [ARM] 3377/2: add support for intel xsc3 core
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core.  This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:

- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)

I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.

L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.

There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.

78ff18a412 [ARM] Cleanup ARM includes
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S has contained a comment suggesting
that asm/hardware.h and asm/arch/irqs.h should be moved into the
asm/arch/entry-macro.S include.  So move the includes to these
two files as required.

Add missing includes (asm/hardware.h, asm/io.h) to asm/arch/system.h
includes which use those facilities, and remove asm/io.h from
kernel/process.c.

Remove other unnecessary includes from arch/arm/kernel, arch/arm/mm
and arch/arm/mach-footbridge.

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!
