<content type='text'>
The ARM kprobes arithmetic immediate instruction decoder
(space_cccc_001x()) was accidentally zero'ing out not only the Rn and
Rd arguments, but the lower nibble of the immediate argument as well
-- this patch fixes this.

It is more useful to flush the cache with the actual buffer address
rather than the address containing a pointer to the buffer.

Ccoreutils and other have started using fstatat64. Thus, we
need a shim for it if we want to support modern oldabi
userlands (such as Debian/arm/lenny) with EABI kernels.

Move the definitions of ATAG_CORE and ATAG_CORE_SIZE in head.S to
head-common.S. There is no use of these in head.S itself, but they
are used in head-common.S. When building for the !CONFIG_MMU case
these were not defined when compiling head-nommu.S (which includes
head-common.S).

<title>aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT</title>

<id>7fa3031500ec9b0a7460c8c23751799006ffee74</id>
<content type='text'>
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.

Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case.  Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.

To make this work, this patch also does the following:

 (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
     CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.

 (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
     core dumping code.

 (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline.  This
     is then included only where needed.  This means that this bit of arch
     code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
     the core kernel.

 (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
     needed) and FRV.

This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

(with Martin Schwidefsky &lt;schwidefsky@de.ibm.com&gt;)

The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument.  The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument.  This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.
