linux.git/arch/xtensa/Kconfig, branch v3.8

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal

2012-12-21T02:05:28+00:00

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
  new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
  generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
  introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
  new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
  new helper: restore_altstack()
  unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
  new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
  missing user_stack_pointer() instances
  Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE: infrastructure

Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series

2012-12-19T23:07:38+00:00

All architectures have
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
	__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().

xtensa: add support for the XTFPGA boards

2012-12-19T05:10:24+00:00

The Avnet LX60/LX110/LX200 board is an FPGA board that can be configured with
an Xtensa processor and an OpenCores Ethernet device.

xtensa: add device trees support

2012-12-19T05:10:23+00:00

Device trees allow specification of hardware topology and device
parameters at runtime instead of hard-coding them in platform setup
code. This allows running single binary kernel on a range of compatible
boards.

New boot parameters tag BP_TAG_FDT is allocated and a pointer to flat
device tree is passed in it.

Note that current interrupt mapping scheme uses single cell for
interrupt identification. That means that IRQ numbers used in DTS must
be CPU internal IRQ numbers, not external. It is possible to extend
interrupt identification to two cells, and use second cell to tell
external IRQ numbers form internal. That would allow to use single DTS
on multiple boards with different mapping of external IRQ numbers.

xtensa: add IRQ domains support

2012-12-19T05:10:23+00:00

IRQ domains provide a mechanism for conversion of linux IRQ numbers to
hardware IRQ numbers and vice versus. It is used by OpenFirmware for
linking device tree objects to their respective interrupt controllers.

Merge tag 'xtensa-next-20121008' of git://github.com/czankel/xtensa-linux

2012-10-09T07:11:46+00:00

Pull Xtensa patchset from Chris Zankel:
 "The Xtensa tree has been broken for some time now, and this patchset
  brings it back to life.  It has been part of the linux-next tree for
  some time.

  Most changes are inside the xtensa subdirectory; the other changes
  mostly add another rule to already existing #ifdefs to exclude Xtensa,
  where required.  The only 'common' change is to add two more sections
  ('.xt.prop' and '.xt.lit') to the white list in modpost."

Remove Kconfig entries, boot subdirectory, dependencies from other
boot-* Makefiles, and sections from ld scripts.

Remove stale redboot code that used to pass initrd addresses in a3 and
a4 to _start.
