While looking at code generated by gcc4.0 I noticed some functions still
had frame pointers, even after we stopped ppc64 from defining
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  It turns out kernel/Makefile hardwires
-fno-omit-frame-pointer on when compiling schedule.c.

Create CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER and define it on architectures
that dont require frame pointers in sched.c code.

We can identify new Freescale PPC cores by the fact that the MSB of the PVR
is set.  If we are a new Freescale core the decode of major/minor revision
numbers is simplified so we dont have to add new case checks for a every
new Freescale core.

The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.

This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext.  Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.

Fixes for big-endian systems in soundcard.h and awe_voice.h

This patch fixes the AFMT_S16_NE (include/linux/soundcard.h) and AWE_PATCH

It also moves _PATCHKEY into a new file, patchkey.h, in order to remove a

The recent change fix-crash-in-entrys-restore_all.patch

 	childregs->esp = esp;

 	p->thread.esp = (unsigned long) childregs;
-	p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1);
+	p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1) - 8;

 	p->thread.eip = (unsigned long) ret_from_fork;

introduces an inconsistency between esp and esp0 before the task is run the
first time.  esp0 is no longer the actual start of the stack, but 8 bytes
off.

This shows itself clearly in a scenario when a ptracer that is set to also
ptrace eventual children traces program1 which then clones thread1.  Now
the ptracer wants to modify the registers of thread1.  The x86 ptrace
implementation bases it's knowledge about saved user-space registers upon
p->thread.esp0.  But this will be a few bytes off causing certain writes to
the kernel stack to overwrite a saved kernel function address making the
kernel when actually running thread1 jump out into user-space.  Very
spectacular.

The testcase I've used is:
/* start with strace -f ./a.out */
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void *do_thread(void *p)
{
	for (;;);
}

int main()
{
	pthread_t one;
	pthread_create(&one, NULL, &do_thread, NULL);
	for (;;);
	return 0;
}

So, my solution is to instead of just adjusting esp0 that creates an
inconsitent state I adjust where the user-space registers are saved with -8
bytes.  This gives us the wanted extra bytes on the start of the stack and
esp0 is now correct.  This solves the issues I saw from the original
testcase from Mateusz Berezecki and has survived testing here.  I think
this should go into -mm a round or two first however as there might be some
cruft around depending on pt_regs lying on the start of the stack.  That
however would have broken with the first change too!

It's actually a 2-line diff but I had to move the comment of why the -8 bytes
are there a few lines up. Thanks to Zwane for helping me with this.

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.

No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.

Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:

LANG= make menuconfig

is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.

Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:

http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes

To start the translation process:

  make update-po-config

  This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
  copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.

To test your translation, as root issue this command:

  msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po

  Replace "es" with your language code.

  Then execute, for instance:

  make menuconfig

The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.

Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.

I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.
