[MIPS] Fixes for uaccess.h with gcc >= 4.0.1

2006-02-21T16:58:22+00:00

    
It seems current get_user() incorrectly sign-extend an unsigned int
value on 64bit kernel.  I think this is because '(__typeof__(val))'
cast in final assignment.  I suppose the cast should be
'(__typeof__(*(addr))'.

[MIPS] More uaccess.h fixes with gcc >= 4.0.1.

2006-02-14T19:13:24+00:00

    
From Richard Sandiford :
    
This patch caused a miscompilation of the restore_gp_regs() block
in restore_sigcontext().  This was in a 32-bit kernel compiled with
GCC CVS head.
    
restore_gp_regs() copies 64-bit user fields into 32-bit variables,
and in this combination, the new __get_user_asm_ll32() clobbers too
many registers.  It says:
    
/*
 * Get a long long 64 using 32 bit registers.
 */
{									\
	__asm__ __volatile__(						\
	"1:	lw	%1, (%3)				\n"	\
	"2:	lw	%D1, 4(%3)				\n"	\
	"	move	%0, $0					\n"	\
	"3:	.section	.fixup,\"ax\"			\n"	\
	"4:	li	%0, %4					\n"	\
	"	move	%1, $0					\n"	\
	"	move	%D1, $0					\n"	\
	"	j	3b					\n"	\
	"	.previous					\n"	\
	"	.section	__ex_table,\"a\"		\n"	\
	"	" __UA_ADDR "	1b, 4b				\n"	\
	"	" __UA_ADDR "	2b, 4b				\n"	\
	"	.previous					\n"	\
	: "=r" (__gu_err), "=&r" (val)					\
	: "0" (0), "r" (addr), "i" (-EFAULT));				\
}

and this requires val (%1) to be a 64-bit value.  In the case I saw,
gcc was using $3 for the 32-bit val, and wasn't expecting $4 to be
clobbered.

Drop might_sleep() calls from get_user() & co. This should fix the issue

2005-10-29T18:32:10+00:00

in http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=200508171321.20094.Joshua.Wise%40sicortex.com and it's the right thing to do anyway because
it was inflating those functions way too much.

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!
