Artem Bityutskiy cde3f86073 ARM: 5759/1: Add register information of threads to coredump
Defines ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS so that CPU register information
of every thread is included in coredump. Without this, only the faulting
thread is coredumped.

Catalin Marinas adca6dc23b Thumb-2: Add support for loadable modules
Modules compiled to Thumb-2 have two additional relocations needing to
be resolved at load time, R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, for BL
and B.W instructions. The maximum Thumb-2 addressing range is +/-2^24
(+/-16MB) therefore the MODULES_VADDR macro in asm/memory.h is set to
(MODULES_END - 8MB) for the Thumb-2 compiled kernel.

Paul Gortmaker ae51e60984 [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types
From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.

The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.

The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself.  The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

Daniel Silverstone 4731f8b66d [ARM] 5428/1: Module relocation update for R_ARM_V4BX
It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils
(required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed
with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations
are emitted for function epilogues.

This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40"
error message.

The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel
module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the
binutils bfd library.

Martin Schwidefsky 0b59268285 [PATCH] remove unused ibcs2/PER_SVR4 in SET_PERSONALITY
The SET_PERSONALITY macro is always called with a second argument of 0.
Remove the ibcs argument and the various tests to set the PER_SVR4
personality.

Russell King 8ec53663d2 [ARM] Improve non-executable support
Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust
permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas.  Also,
ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that
is true, and for any executable-stack binary.
