df0698be14 ARM: stack protector: change the canary value per task
A new random value for the canary is stored in the task struct whenever
a new task is forked.  This is meant to allow for different canary values
per task.  On ARM, GCC expects the canary value to be found in a global
variable called __stack_chk_guard.  So this variable has to be updated
with the value stored in the task struct whenever a task switch occurs.

Because the variable GCC expects is global, this cannot work on SMP
unfortunately.  So, on SMP, the same initial canary value is kept
throughout, making this feature a bit less effective although it is still
useful.

One way to overcome this GCC limitation would be to locate the
__stack_chk_guard variable into a memory page of its own for each CPU,
and then use TLB locking to have each CPU see its own page at the same
virtual address for each of them.

48d7927bdf Add a prefetch abort handler
This patch adds a prefetch abort handler similar to the data abort one
and renames the latter for consistency. Initial implementation by Paul
Brook with some renaming by Catalin Marinas.

516793c61b [ARM] ARMv6: add CPU_HAS_ASID configuration
Presently, we check for the minimum ARM architecture that we're
building for to determine whether we need ASID support.  This is
wrong - if we're going to support a range of CPUs which include
ARMv6 or higher, we need the ASID.

Convert the checks to use a new configuration symbol, and arrange
for ARMv6 and higher CPU entries to select it.

8799ee9f49 [ARM] Set bit 4 on section mappings correctly depending on CPU
On some CPUs, bit 4 of section mappings means "update the
cache when written to".  On others, this bit is required to
be one, and others it's required to be zero.  Finally, on
ARMv6 and above, setting it turns on "no execute" and prevents
speculative prefetches.

With all these combinations, no one value fits all CPUs, so we
have to pick a value depending on the CPU type, and the area
we're mapping.

Patch from Uwe Zeisberger

The symbol is only used in arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S.  This in turn
is included from arch/arm/kernel/head.S and arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S

cdaabbd74b [ARM] iwmmxt thread state alignment
This patch removes the reliance of iwmmxt on hand coded alignments.
Since thread_info is always 8K aligned, specifying that fpstate is
8-byte aligned achieves the same effect without needing to resort
to hand coded alignments.

f09b997999 [ARM] 3060/1: allow constants found in asm/memory.h to be used in asm code
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This patch allows for assorted type of cleanups by letting assembly code
use the same set of defines for constant values and avoid duplicated
definitions that might not always be in sync, or that might simply be
confusing due to the different names for the same thing.

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!
