2012-09-19	ARM: virt: Update documentation for hyp mode entry support	Dave Martin	1	-1/+21
	Document the possibility of the kernel being entered in HYP mode. Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>
2011-07-19	ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state	Dave Martin	1	-0/+5
	Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2 kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction set state. This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered in ARM. Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy. A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

	v6: typo fixes v5: clarified that dtb should be aligned on a 64 bit boundary in RAM. v3: added details to Documentation/arm/Booting Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2011-02-14	Revert "dt: add documentation of ARM dt boot interface"	Grant Likely	1	-29/+4
	This reverts commit 9830fcd6f6a4781d8b46d2b35c13b39f30915c63. The ARM dt support has not been merged yet; this documentation update was premature. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

	v3: added details to Documentation/arm/Booting Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2006-03-24	Fix simple typos	Andrzej Zaborowski	1	-1/+1
	This corrects some trivial errors in ARM docs and comments, Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+141
	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!
