0b95f22bd3 Blackfin arch: add some missing syscall
When compiling the Blackfin kernel, checksyscalls.pl will report lots of missing syscalls warnings.
This patch will add some missing syscalls which make sense on Blackfin arch

After appling this patch, toolchain should be rebuilt. Then recompiling the kernel with the new
toolchain.

0931ce8439 Blackfin arch: fix some bugs in lib/string.h functions found by our string testing modules
- use ints for the return value rather than char since we actually return
   an int and we dont want it improperly being sign extended during the reload
   http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=3525

 - if src is shorter than the requested number of copy bytes, we need to null
   pad the rest
   http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=3524

 - mark these as __volatile__ and add memory to the clobber list so gcc does
   not optimize buffers around on us we may be using

 - rewrite asm code to be readable/maintainable

7adfb58fbd Blackfin arch: defines and provides entry points for certain user space functions at fixed addresses
This patch defines (and provides) entry points for certain user space functions
at fixed addresses.  The Blackfin has no usable atomic instructions, but we can
ensure that these code sequences appear atomic from a user space point of view
by detecting when we're in the process of executing them during the interrupt
handler return path.  This allows much more efficient pthread lock
implementations than the bfin_spinlock syscall we're currently using.

Also provided is a small sys_rt_sigreturn stub which can be used by the signal
handler setup code.  The signal.c part will be committed separately.

24a07a1241 Blackfin arch: initial supporting for BF548-EZKIT
The ADSP-BF54x was specifically designed to meet the needs of convergent multimedia
applications where system performance and cost are essential ingredients. The
integration of multimedia, human interface, and connectivity peripherals combined
with increased system bandwidth and on-chip memory provides customers a platform to
design the most demanding applications.

Since now, ADSP-BF54x will be supported in the Linux kernel and bunch of related drivers
such as USB OTG, ATAPI, NAND flash controller, LCD framebuffer, sound, touch screen will
be submitted later.

Please enjoy the show.

Add the termios2 structure ready for enabling on most platforms.  One or

same structure as ktermios for termios2 (ie the newer ioctl uses the
structure matching the current kernel structure)

f7e4217b00 rename thread_info to stack
This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.

Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.

It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
could benefit.

1394f03221 blackfin architecture
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:
