Add a little strncpy optimization which can easily cut boot time by 20%.
When the kernel is booting with initramfs, it builds up the filesystem
from a cpio archive by calling strncpy_from_user() via fs/namei.c's
do_getname() on every file in the archive (which can be lots) with a
length of PATH_MAX (1024). This causes the dest of the strncpy to be
padded with many NUL bytes.
This optimization mostly causes these NUL bytes to be padded with a call
to memset() which is already optimized for filling memory quickly, but
the hardware loop helps a little bit as well.
Boot time measured with 'loglevel=0' so UART speed doesn't get in the way.

Since 'extern inline' doesn't work correctly in the context of the Linux
kernel (too many overriding defines), move the string functions to normal
lib/ assembly files (like the existing mem funcs). This avoids the forced
inline all over the kernel and allows us to place them constantly in L1.
This also avoids some module failures when gcc inserts calls to string
functions but the kernel build system doesn't fully consult the library
archives.

Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.
It also removes:
- verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
- file names (you are looking at the file)
- bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
- "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right
It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

The code used in the Blackfin lshrdi3 utilizes gcc constructs. However,
the structures declared don't line up with the code gcc generates, so
under certain optimizations, we get bad code and things crap out in fun
random ways. So rather than trying to maintain different gcc definitions
ourselves, just use the ones available in gcclib.h.

FSVOtest in this case, since I don't have the hardware...
However, all changes seen by gcc are actually
- explicit cast to unsigned short in return expression of functions
returning unsigned short
- csum_fold() return type changed from unsigned int to __sum16
(unsigned short), same as for all other architecture and as net/* expects;
expression actually returned is ((~(sum << 16)) >> 16) with sum being
unsigned 32bit, so it's (a) going to fit into the range of unsigned short
and (b) had been unsigned all along, so no sign expansion mess happened.

/*
* CPUs often take a performance hit when accessing unaligned memory

* the IP header at an unaligned offset. The IP header can be aligned by

*
* skb_reserve(NET_IP_ALIGN);
*
* The downside to this alignment of the IP header is that the DMA is

This new function insl_16 allows to read form 32-bit IO and writes to
16-bit aligned memory. This is useful in above described scenario -
In particular with the AXIS AX88180 Gigabit Ethernet MAC.
Once the device is in 32-bit mode, reads from the RX FIFO always
decrements 4bytes.
While on the other side the destination address in SDRAM is always
16-bit aligned.
If we use skb_reserve(0) the receive buffer is 32-bit aligned but later
we hit a unaligned exception in the IP code.

revise anomaly handling by basing things on the compiler not the kconfig defines,
so the header is stable and usable outside of the kernel. This also allows us to
move some code from preprocessing to compiling (gcc culls dead code)
which should help with code quality (readability, catch minor bugs, etc...).

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:
