Please review for inclusion in powerpc.git. As a quick overview, the patches contain: * new spufs file interfaces to support more gdb functionality, to look into the state of various HW registers without changing data. * core dump support for SPUs. When core dumping a task that has created SPU contexts, information about them will be included in the dump. * A rework of the SPU HW isolation support. Reusing an isolated SPU for another program now doesn't require a new spufs interface any more, which simplifies the implementation significantly. * A new oprofile model for using the profile event mechanism on the Cell Broadband Engine. This is only for PPE profiling so far, profiling SPU code is still work-in-progress. * Lots of bug fixes. I have some other patches in my cell kernel tree currently, which I'm not submitting myself, because I assume they will find their own way into the kernel: * Patches to the spidernet driver, these go through netdev * Support for the Playstation 3, the patches are currently under discussion, and I expect that Paul will take them directly once they are done. * xmon add-ons for debugging with SPUs. Waiting for a new version to be submitted. Arnd <><
