[POWERPC] Add files build to .gitignore

2006-12-04T09:41:29+00:00

Mostly taken from corresponding Makefile's make-clean rule.

Tested by (cross)compiling for $ARCH PPC and POWERPC and checking
output of git-status.

[POWERPC] Fix hang in start_ldr if _end or _edata is unaligned

2006-10-25T01:39:27+00:00

Quick fix for lack of memset(__bss_start, 0, _end-__bss_start) in
load_kernel().  If edata is unaligned, the loop will overwrite all
memory because r3 and r4 will never be equal.

[PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent version

2006-06-22T22:05:58+00:00

Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.

The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).

For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement.  I don't
consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
change the zlib_deflate code.

Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
work.

This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32.  JFFS2 sees an approx.  10% real
world file read speed improvement.

This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
take care of that for us.  This removal is also more in keeping with the
zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

kbuild: use relative path to -I

2006-04-04T14:56:10+00:00

Using a relative path has the advantage that when the kernel source
tree is moved the relevant .o files will not be rebuild just because
the path to the kernel src has changed.
This also got rid of a user of TOPDIR - which has been deprecated for a long time now.
