FWIW, changes since the last posting: * untested conversion for cris added [me] * conversion for mips added [Ralf has done execve side, I've added kernel_thread() one] * conversion for parisc added [aka "Al has generated broken patches, jejb has tested and fixed that crap"] * arm64 conversion added [Catalin Marinas] IOW, right now we have * alpha, arm, arm64, c6x, m68k, mips, parisc, powerpc, s390, sparc, um, x86 - apparently over and done with (IOW, all old architectures except for itanic are converted by now) * avr32, blackfin, hexagon, h8300, ia64, m32r, microblaze, openrisc, score, sh, tile, unicore32, xtensa - need to be done * cris, frv, mn10300 - need to be tested (and very likely will need fixing) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
