Arnd Bergmann 3db03b4afb [PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve
Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
remove these right away.

David Woodhouse 5614253686 Remove unneeded _syscallX macros from user view in asm-*/unistd.h
These aren't needed by glibc or klibc, and they're broken in some cases
anyway. The uClibc folks are apparently switching over to stop using
them too (now that we agreed that they should be dropped, at least).

Andreas Schwab 2833c28aa0 [PATCH] powerpc: Wire up *at syscalls
Wire up *at syscalls.

This patch has been tested on ppc64 (using glibc's testsuite, both 32bit
and 64bit), and compile-tested for ppc32 (I have currently no ppc32 system
available, but I expect no problems).

Jens Axboe 912d35f867 [PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscall
sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.

This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges
inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network
receive support as well.

Jens Axboe 70524490ee [PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee()
Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the
pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference.

Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and
file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to
another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the
input pipe data.

Jens Axboe 5274f052e7 [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).

From the splice.c comments:

   "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.

   This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.

   The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

   Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
   Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
   bugs.

Arnd Bergmann a7f31841a4 [PATCH] powerpc: declare arch syscalls in <asm/syscalls.h>
powerpc currently declares some of its own system calls
in <asm/unistd.h>, but not all of them. That place also
contains remainders of the now almost unused kernel syscall
hack.

 - Add a new <asm/syscalls.h> with clean declarations
 - Include that file from every source that implements one
   of these
 - Get rid of old declarations in <asm/unistd.h>

This patch is required as a base for implementing system
calls from an SPU, but also makes sense as a general
cleanup.

David Woodhouse 150256d8aa [PATCH] Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend()
The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag allows us to have a generic implementation of
sys_rt_sigsuspend() instead of duplicating it for each architecture.  This
provides such an implementation and makes arch/powerpc use it.

It also tidies up the ppc32 sys_sigsuspend() to use TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.

Arnd Bergmann 67207b9664 [PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base
This is the current version of the spu file system, used
for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine.

This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.

The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.

See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use
spufs.
