20cb6abfe0 ARM: 8223/1: Add unwinding support for __memzero function
The __memzero function never had unwinding annotations added.
Currently, when accessing invalid pointer by __memzero occurs the
backtrace shown will stop at __memzero or some completely unrelated
function. Add unwinding annotations in hopes of getting a more
useful backtrace in following cases:
1. die on accessing invalid pointer by __memzero
2. kprobe trapped at any instruction within __memzero
3. interrupted at any instruction within __memzero

6ebbf2ce43 ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+
ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).

We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.

Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

93ed397011 [ARM] 5227/1: Add the ENDPROC declarations to the .S files
This declaration specifies the "function" type and size for various
assembly functions, mainly needed for generating the correct branch
instructions in Thumb-2.

1b93a71755 [ARM] Remove LOADREGS macro
As for RETINSTR, LOADREGS is a left-over from the 26-bit days.
Remove it.

7999d8d7a6 [ARM] Remove RETINSTR macro
RETINSTR is a left-over from the days when we had 26-bit and
32-bit CPU support integrated into the same tree.  Since this
is no longer the case, we can now remove RETINSTR.

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!
