08932a1983 uml: use generic BUG
Get UML to use the generic bug support rather than arch specific one.

If I insert an artificial bug right before loading init, I get this:

c35e584c08 [PATCH] uml: fix static linking for real
There was a typo in commit 7632fc8f80,
preventing it from working - 32bit binaries crashed hopelessly before
the below fix and work perfectly now.

7632fc8f80 [PATCH] uml: fix static linking
During a static link, ld has started putting a .note section in the
.uml.setup.init section.  This has the result that the UML setups begin
with 32 bytes of garbage and UML crashes immediately on boot.

This patch creates a specific .note section for ld to drop this stuff
into.

92eac95287 [PATCH] uml: fix oops related to exception table
Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

Prevent the kernel from oopsing during the extable sorting, as it can do
now, because the extable is in the readonly section of the binary.

Jeff says: The exception table turned RO in 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 for some reason.
Moving it causes it to land in the writable data section of the binary.

Paolo says: This patch fixes a oops on startup, which can be easily
triggered by compiling with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled, and STATIC_LINK either
disabled or enabled.  The resulting kernel will always Oops on startup,
after printing this simple output:

I've verified, by binary search on the BitKeeper repository (synced up as
of 2.6.12-rc2), starting from the range 2.6.11-2.6.12-rc1, that this bug
shows up on BitKeeper revisions in the range [@1.1994.11.168,+inf), i.e.
starting from this:

[PATCH] lib/sort: Replace insertion sort in exception tables

Since UML does not use the exception table, it's likely that insertion sort
didn't happen to write anything on the table.

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!
