  • This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
    const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

    The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
    shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
    things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
    cache clean)

  • Semaphore to mutex conversion.

    The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
    automatically via a script as well.

  • To allow various options to work per-mount instead of per-sb we need a
    struct vfsmount when updating ctime and mtime. This preparation patch
    replaces the inode_update_time routine with a file_update_atime routine so
    we can easily get at the vfsmount. (and the file makes more sense in this
    context anyway). Also get rid of the unused second argument - we always
    want to update the ctime when calling this routine.

  • 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!
