The userland ELF tools have been coping with partial-segments core files
for a few years now. Multiple distro builds are now setting this option.
It behooves everyone who ever deals with core files to have more info
dumped in there, especially as more and more people's compilers are
producing build IDs. Make it the default.
Anyone using older tools confused by these core files can configure this
option off, or just change /proc/PID/coredump_filter after boot.

This adds a kconfig option to change the /proc/PID/coredump_filter default.
Fedora has been carrying a trivial patch to change the hard-wired value for
this default, since Fedora 8. The default default can't change safely
because there are old GDB versions out there (all before 6.7) that are
confused by the core dump files created by the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS setting.

HAVE_AOUT doesn't quite do the same thing as the recently removed
ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT config option. That was set even on platforms where
binfmt_aout isn't supported, although it's not entirely clear why.
So it's best just to introduce a new symbol, handled consistently with
other similar HAVE_xxx symbols; with a simple 'select' in the arch Kconfig.

I have not yet seen anyone saying he has a reasonable use case for using
BINFMT_FLAT modular on his embedded device.
Considering that fs/binfmt_flat.c even lacks a MODULE_LICENSE() I really doubt
there is any, and this patch therefore makes BINFMT_FLAT a bool.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

Not really sure where this bogosity came from, but there's certainly
nothing special about sh that lets us use flat files with the MMU on.
Kill the dependency, and leave it as !MMU, like it is for all of the

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.
The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.
The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf
The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc
This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/
We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:

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!
