  • This is the core of the switch to the new framework. I've split it from the
    driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
    give this one a good hard stare.

    The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
    defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The
    code patches here ensure that providing

    1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
    2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)

    the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this
    point in time.

    Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
    for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
    vanish.

  • As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
    structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
    structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
    without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
    tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
    be fixed.

    This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
    cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
    extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
    warnings.

    53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
    most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
    last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

  • 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!
