The commit c1bf207d6ee1eb72e9c10365edbdc7c9ff7fb9b0 (kernel.org) rsp.
58e9ad32a48dce37ffeea912f55bd1c94b85ad7f (lmo) [MIPS: kprobe: Add support]
introduced a useless comment.

MIPS: Add uImage build target

2013-09-03T16:00:01+00:00

Add a uImage build target for MIPS, which builds uImage.gz (a U-Boot
image of vmlinux.bin.gz), and then symlinks it to uImage. This allows
for the use of other compression algorithms in future, and is how a few
other architectures do it.

It's enabled conditionally on load-y >= 0xffffffff80000000 which
hopefully allows 64bit kernels to also work as long as the load and
entry address can be represented by the 32bit addresses in the U-Boot
image format.

MIPS: Refactor load/entry address calculations

2013-09-03T15:58:37+00:00

The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple
places:
 - arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or
   defined by the platform) and passes it to
   arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile.
 - arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm.
 - arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address
   using nm.

Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make
parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/,
boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use
them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets.

The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the
load address using nm.

MIPS: Refactor boot and boot/compressed rules

2013-09-03T15:57:50+00:00

Split out the arch/mips/boot/ and arch/mips/boot/compressed/ targets
into boot-y and bootz-y variables. This makes it slightly cleaner to add
new targets.

MIPS: initial stack protector support

2013-07-01T13:10:48+00:00

Implements basic stack protector support based on ARM version in
c743f38013aeff58ef6252601e397b5ba281c633 , with Kconfig option,
constant canary value set at boot time, and script to check if
compiler actually supports stack protector.

Tested by creating a kernel module that writes past end of char[].

MIPS: microMIPS: Add configuration option for microMIPS kernel.

2013-05-09T15:55:19+00:00

This adds the option to build the Linux kernel using only the
microMIPS ISA. The resulting kernel binary is, at a minimum,
20% smaller than using the MIPS32R2 ISA.

MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.

2013-02-01T09:00:22+00:00

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

MIPS: PMC-Sierra Yosemite: Remove support.

Nobody seems to be interested anymore and upstream also never had an
ethernet driver.

MIPS: Kconfig: Rename several firmware related config symbols.

2012-12-13T16:02:14+00:00

With the upcoming merge of the ARC architecture there is a small likelyhood
of conflicting use for the CONFIG_ARC config symbol.  Rename it to
CONFIG_FW_ARC.  Also rename CONFIG_ARC32 to CONFIG_FW_ARC32, CONFIG_ARC64
to CONFIG_FW_ARC64.

For consistence also rename CONFIG_SNIPROM to CONFIG_FW_SNIPROM and
CONFIG_CFE to CONFIG_FW_CFE.
