[ARM] Move include/asm-arm/arch-* to arch/arm/*/include/mach

This just leaves include/asm-arm/plat-* to deal with. Signed-off-by: Russell King

inflate: refactor inflate malloc code

2008-07-25T17:53:28Z

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot process and this is provided with a set of four functions: malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release. The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena. This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying all the malloc/free implementations. The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses: - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which allocations should be made - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog() function call. This function will be called several times during the decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls arch_decomp_wdog(). Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the kernel and improved by me.

[PATCH] x86: deflate stack usage in lib/inflate.c

2007-05-02T17:27:15Z

inflate_fixed and huft_build together use around 2.7k of stack. When using 4k stacks, I saw stack overflows from interrupts arriving while unpacking the root initrd: do_IRQ: stack overflow: 384 [] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x30 [] show_trace+0x12/0x14 [] dump_stack+0x16/0x18 [] do_IRQ+0x6d/0xd9 [] xen_evtchn_do_upcall+0x6e/0xa2 [] xen_hypervisor_callback+0x25/0x2c [] xen_restore_fl+0x27/0x29 [] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x4a/0x50 [] change_page_attr+0x577/0x584 [] kernel_map_pages+0x8d/0xb4 [] cache_alloc_refill+0x53f/0x632 [] __kmalloc+0xc1/0x10d [] malloc+0x10/0x12 [] huft_build+0x2a7/0x5fa [] inflate_fixed+0x91/0x136 [] unpack_to_rootfs+0x5f2/0x8c1 [] populate_rootfs+0x1e/0xe4 (This was under Xen, but there's no reason it couldn't happen on bare hardware.) This patch mallocs the local variables, thereby reducing the stack usage to sane levels. Also, up the heap size for the kernel decompressor to deal with the extra allocation.

[ARM] Fix decompressor serial IO to give CRLF not LFCR

2006-03-28T09:24:33Z

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

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!
