  • Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
    copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
    ./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.

    It also removes:
    - verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
    - file names (you are looking at the file)
    - bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
    - "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right

    It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
    like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

  • * create mm/init-mm.c, move init_mm there
    * remove INIT_MM, initialize init_mm with C99 initializer
    * unexport init_mm on all arches:

    init_mm is already unexported on x86.

    One strange place is some OMAP driver (drivers/video/omap/) which
    won't build modular, but it's already wants get_vm_area() export.
    Somebody should look there.

  • Move the init sections to the end of memory so that after they
    are free, run time memory is all continugous - this should help decrease
    memory fragementation.

    When doing this, we also pack some of the other sections a little closer
    together, to make sure we don't waste memory. To make this happen,
    we need to rename the .data.init_task section to .init_task.data, so
    it doesn't get picked up by the linker script glob.

  • This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
    currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
    (Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
    avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
    BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.

    The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
    Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
    December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
    processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
    orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
    (Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
    single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
    instruction-set architecture.

    The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
    ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
    http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

    The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
    there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
    http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
    documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
    http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
    patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
    bfin-linux-uclibc

    This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
    uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
    http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

    We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
    be found at:
    http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel
