The next architecture that is about to get merged will be score, so it would be good if they can move to the same ABI. Please review the files and (in case of microblaze and score maintainers) test them on your architecture. The one part I'm not yet completely happy with is signal handling, I had to massage the microblaze code quite a bit to get the old-style siginfo out of it, which may not yet work. Sam also mentioned that it might be good to consistently use the __u32 and similar types everywhere in asm-generic exported headers, which I might be doing as a next step (including the existing files). Special thanks to Remis Baima, who has done some significant work cleaning up my patches. Sorry for spamming everyone with the broken mail headers. I hope this resend does fly better. Arnd <><
