I'm not going to comment on this yet, but I'll instead comment on the newly appeared sram_exec_copy() stuff. So, a few years ago, we went to significant effort in ARM land to come up with a way to _safely_ copy assembler from the kernel into SRAM, because copying code to SRAM that is compiled in thumb mode and then executing it is _not_ as simple as memcpy(), cast the pointer to a function pointer, and then call the function pointer. The SRAM stuff throws all that out, instead preferring the dumb memcpy() approach. This needs resolving, and I'd like to see it resolved to the satisfaction of architecture maintainers before we progress any further down this route. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
