  • By default, non-privileged tasks can only mlock() a small amount of
    memory to avoid a DoS attack by ordinary users. The Linux kernel
    defaulted to 32k (on a 4k page size system) to accommodate the needs of
    gpg.

    However, newer gpg2 needs 64k in various circumstances and otherwise
    fails miserably, see bnc#329675.

    Change the default to 64k, and make it more agnostic to PAGE_SIZE.

  • Add the RUSAGE_THREAD option for the getrusage system call. This is
    essentially Roland's patch from http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/18/589, but the
    line about RUSAGE_LWP line has been removed, as suggested by Ulrich and
    Christoph.

  • - proper prototypes for the following functions:
    - ctrl_alt_del() (in include/linux/reboot.h)
    - getrusage() (in include/linux/resource.h)
    - make the following needlessly global functions static:
    - kernel_restart_prepare()
    - kernel_kexec()

  • 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!
