• 41775e29a   procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/kmsg ... Browse Code »

  No need to hold the bkl to seek here, none of the other
  fops callbacks use it.

  Use generic_file_llseek explicitly.

• d78ca3cd7   syslog: use defined constants instead of raw numbers ... Browse Code »

  Right now the syslog "type" action are just raw numbers which makes
  the source difficult to follow. This patch replaces the raw numbers
  with defined constants for some level of sanity.

• 002345925   syslog: distinguish between /proc/kmsg and syscalls ... Browse Code »

  This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating
  from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls. By default, the commoncaps
  will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg
  file descriptor. For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop
  privileges after opening /proc/kmsg, instead of staying privileged with
  CAP_SYS_ADMIN. MAC systems that implement security_syslog have unchanged
  behavior.

• 6e644c312   move proc_kmsg_operations to fs/proc/internal.h ... Browse Code »

  This patch moves the extern of struct proc_kmsg_operations to
  fs/proc/internal.h and adds an #include "internal.h" to fs/proc/kmsg.c
  so that the latter sees the former.

• 4b6f5d20b   [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const ... Browse Code »

  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)

  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!
