  • Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it
    to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This
    obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
    already used in generic code.

    It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
    keeping the most inclusive wording.

  • User Mode Linux can also benefit from earlyprintk. UML's earlyprintk
    writes kernel messages directly to stdout.

  • Formatting changes in the files which have been changed in the
    tt-removal patchset so far. These include:
    copyright updates
    header file trimming
    style fixes
    adding severity to printks
    indenting Kconfig help according to the predominant kernel style

    These changes should be entirely non-functional.

  • This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

    This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

    The removal is done as follows:
    remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
    CONFIG_MODE_TT
    get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
    call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
    skas portions
    replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

    There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
    mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These
    are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

    As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
    files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase,
    covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

    I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
    it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

    The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
    inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this
    can now go in.

    This patch:

    Start getting rid of tt mode support.

    This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
    which depend on it.

    CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
    unconditionally.

    The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
    something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
    strictly deletions.

  • Apparently, GDB gets confused when we do an execvp() on ourselves.

    Since it's simply done to allocate further space for command line arguments
    (which we'll use to allow gathering the startup command line for guest
    processes through the host), allow the user to disable that to get a
    debuggable UML binary.

  • Until now, FRAME_POINTER was set = DEBUG_INFO for UML. Change it to be the
    default way, so that it can be enabled alone (for instance to get better
    backtraces on crashes). The call-trace dumper which uses the frame pointer is
    not yet in, I'm going to introduce it in a separate patch.

  • 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!
