Also on a related note there is a compilation error on arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S if the DEBUG macro is defined (useful to take advantage of puts and putc for early debugging) at least on Tegra devices. The loadsp macro definition makes use of addruart, which has been changed to take 3 arguments since about 2 years ago (commit 639da5ee), but loadsp still uses the 2 arguments form. I'm not sure how this should be fixed, either by adding another argument to loadsp (which will turn out to be useless for most implementations) or by using an arbitrary register in the definition that uses addruart (probably dangerous). Alex.

Russell, I put this patch into the ARM patch tracker a while back. I assume it's something you plan to take, or should I put it into the Tegra tree? Thanks.

I haven't applied it yet because it doesn't apply to the branch it needs to (that being the debug choice cleanup): Patching 7806/1... git apply --whitespace=fix -p1 --index --check > /tmp/pdb.12252 2>&1 exited with non-zero status: 256 error: patch failed: arch/arm/Kconfig.debug:1052 error: arch/arm/Kconfig.debug: patch does not apply Not even with gnu patch: patching file arch/arm/Kconfig.debug Hunk #1 FAILED at 1052. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file arch/arm/Kconfig.debug.rej patching file arch/arm/include/debug/tegra.S This is because at the moment, that branch is based before other changes which have gone in during the -rcs, namely b6992fa9a7. It needs that branch rebased before it can be applied. I'll get to it eventually.
