Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.
This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.
Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.
A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

So out it goes as well.
The PORT_S3C2400 definition in include/linux/serial_core.h is left there
to prevent a reuse of the same number for another port type.

This allows a ROM-able zImage to be written to eSD and for SuperH Mobile
ARM to boot directly from the SDHI hardware block.
This is achieved by the MaskROM loading the first portion of the image into
MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which
copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage
boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final
location and then jumping to it.

Some user space applications are designed around the ability to perform
atomic operations on 64 bit values. Since this is natively possible
only with ARMv6k and above, let's provide a new kuser helper to perform
the operation with kernel supervision on pre ARMv6k hardware.

Russell, please consider merging this for 2.6.38.
This patch depends on:
* "mmc, sh: Move MMCIF_PROGRESS_* into sh_mmcif.h"
which will be merged though Paul Mundt's rmobile sh-2.6.
The absence of this patch will break the build if
the (new) CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF option is set.
There are no subtle side-effects.
v2:
Addressed comments by Magnus Damm
* Fix copyright in vrl4.c
* Fix use of #define CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF in mmcif-sh7372.c
* Initialise LED GPIO lines in head-ap4evb.txt instead of mmcif-sh7372.c
as this is considered board-specific.
v3:
Addressed comments made in person by Magnus Damm
* Move mmcif_loader to be earlier in the image and
reduce the number of blocks of boot program loaded by the MaskRom
from 40 to 8 accordingly.
* Move LED GPIO initialisation into mmcif_progress_init
- This leaves the partner jet script unbloated
Other
* inline mmcif_update_progress so it is a static inline in a header file
v4:
* Use htole16() and htole32() in v4rl.c to ensure
that the output is little endian
v5:
Addressed comments by Russell King
* Simplify assembly code
* Jump to code rather than an address <- bug fix
* Use (void __iomem *) as appropriate
Roll in mackerel support
* This was previously a separate patch, only because of the order
in which this code was developed

The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture,
superseded by the LDREX/STREX family of instructions for
load-linked/store-conditional operations. The ARMv7 multiprocessing
extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined
from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control
Register SW bit.
This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB
instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to
/proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also
modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when
user RO.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

This changes the TCM handling so that a fixed area is reserved at
0xfffe0000-0xfffeffff for TCM. This areas is used by XScale but
XScale does not have TCM so the mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
This change is needed to make TCM detection more dynamic while
still being able to compile code into it, and is a must for the
unified ARM goals: the current TCM allocation at different places
in memory for each machine would be a nightmare if you want to
compile a single image for more than one machine with TCM so it
has to be nailed down in one place.
