Nicolas Pitre 3f471126ee [ARM] 3262/4: allow ptraced syscalls to be overriden
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This is needed by strace to properly handle the tracing of some system
calls. It could be useful for other applications as well.

Based on an earlier patch from Daniel Jacobowitz.

Nicolas Pitre 2dede2d8e9 [ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU exception
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for
reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions.

We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an
exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit
aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function.

If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as
long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data
stack space remain multiples of 8.

Russell King 652a12ef98 [PATCH] ARM: showregs
Fix show_regs() to provide a backtrace.  Provide a new __show_regs()
function which implements the common subset of show_regs() and die().
Add prototypes to asm-arm/system.h

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!
