  • This patch (as1239) updates the kernel's treatment of Unicode. The
    character-set conversion routines are well behind the current state of
    the Unicode specification: They don't recognize the existence of code
    points beyond plane 0 or of surrogate pairs in the UTF-16 encoding.

    The old wchar_t 16-bit type is retained because it's still used in
    lots of places. This shouldn't cause any new problems; if a
    conversion now results in an invalid 16-bit code then before it must
    have yielded an undefined code.

    Difficult-to-read names like "utf_mbstowcs" are replaced with more
    transparent names like "utf8s_to_utf16s" and the ordering of the
    parameters is rationalized (buffer lengths come immediate after the
    pointers they refer to, and the inputs precede the outputs).
    Fortunately the low-level conversion routines are used in only a few
    places; the interfaces to the higher-level uni2char and char2uni
    methods have been left unchanged.

  • fs/isofs/* had a bunch of CodingStyle issues.
    * Indentation was a mix of spaces and tabs
    * "int * foo" instead of "int *foo"
    * "while ( foo )" instead of "while (foo)"
    * if (foo) blah; on one line instead of two
    * Missing printk KERN_ levels
    * lots of trailing whitespace
    * lines >80 columns changed to wrap.
    * Unnecessary prototype removed by shuffling code order in C file.

    Should be no functional changes other than slight size increase due to
    printk changes. Further improvement possible, but this is a start..

  • fs/isofs includes trimmed down to something resembling sanity.

    Kernel-only parts of linux/iso_fs.h and entire linux/iso_fs_{sb,i}.h
    moved to fs/isofs/isofs.h.

    A lot of useless #include in fs/isofs/*.c killed.

  • 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!
