Koen Kooi a9da396a37 [ARM] 3729/3: EABI padding rules necessitate the packed attribute of floatx80
Patch from Koen Kooi

EABI padding rules necessitate the packed attribute of floatx80,
otherwise nwfpe complains about invalid structure sizes.

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.

Lennert Buytenhek 06c03cac94 [ARM] 3117/1: nwfpe kernel memory info leak
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The routine that nwfpe uses for converting floats/doubles to
extended precision fails to zero two bytes of kernel stack.  This
is not immediately obvious, as the floatx80 structure has 16 bits
of implicit padding (by design.)  These two bytes are copied to
userspace when an stfe is emulated, causing a possible info leak.

Make the padding explicit and zero it out in the relevant places.

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.

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!
