2017-05-01	avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture	Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt
	This patch drops support for AVR32 architecture from the Linux kernel. The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC, it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly. Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now Microchip). Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not received any patches since the last release from Atmel; 4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack. Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today, if anybody at all.

2008-02-08	libfs: allow error return from simple attributes	Christoph Hellwig
	Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for acquiring a mutex interruptibly. In fact we have that situation in spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes. This patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the main ones and allows to return errors.

2008-01-25	[AVR32] Enable debugging only when needed	Haavard Skinnemoen
	Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself) and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next reboot. The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the performance forever.
