2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: fix single-stepping of emulated instructionsPaul Mackerras
On ppc, we emulate instructions that cause alignment exceptions. If we are single-stepping an instruction and it causes an alignment exception, we will currently do the next instruction as well before taking the single-step exception. This patch fixes that, so we take the single-step exception after emulating the instruction.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: oops on kernel altivec assist exceptionsPaul Mackerras
If we should happen to get an altivec assist exception while executing in the kernel, we will currently try to handle it and fail, and end up oopsing with (apparently) a segfault. (An altivec assist exception occurs for floating-point altivec instructions with denormalized inputs or outputs if the altivec unit is in java mode.) This patch checks explicitly if we are in user mode and prints a useful message if not.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: fix bogosity in process-freezing codePaul Mackerras
The code that went into arch/ppc/kernel/signal.c recently to handle process freezing seems to contain a dubious assumption: that a process that calls do_signal when PF_FREEZE is set will have entered the kernel because of a system call. This patch removes that assumption. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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!
