Nicolas Pitre 8993a44ced [ARM] 3111/2: old ABI compat: adjust NWFPE to be operational within an EABI kernel
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

We need NWFPE if we want to support execution of legacy binaries with
an EABI kernel.

Lennert Buytenhek bedf142b8b [ARM] 3118/1: fix and reenable nwfpe extended precision emulation for big-endian
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

nwfpe extended precision emulation used to be broken on big-endian
and was therefore disabled.  This patch fixes nwfpe so that it copies
extended precision floats to/from userspace in the proper word order
(similar to patch #2046, see the description of that patch for an
explanation) and reenables the Kconfig option.

Ben Dooks 6ec5e7f365 [ARM] 2978/1: nwfpe - clean up sparse errors
Patch from Ben Dooks

The NWFPE is producing a number of errors from sparse
due to not defining a number of functions in the
header files.

Richard Purdie f148af2593 [PATCH] ARM: 2837/2: Re: ARM: Make NWFPE preempt safe
Patch from Richard Purdie

NWFPE used global variables which meant it wasn't safe for use with
preemptive kernels. This patch removes them and communicates the
information between functions in a preempt safe manner. Generation
of some exceptions was broken and this has also been corrected.
Tests with glibc's maths test suite show no change in the results
before/after this patch.

Russell King b66da4a485 [PATCH] ARM: Remove global nwfpe register variable
Recent changes to nwfpe broke the build with some gcc versions:

In file included from arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.c:33:
arch/arm/nwfpe/fpa11.h:32: global register variable follows a function definition
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.o] Error 1

Since we now ensure that the kernel stack is empty when returning
to user space, we can now access the userspace registers with
reference to the kernel stack using current_thread_info(), rather
than remembering the stack pointer at the time nwfpe was called.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
