• f2b9857ee   Add a bunch of cycle_kernel_lock() calls ... Browse Code »

  All of the open() functions which don't need the BKL on their face may
  still depend on its acquisition to serialize opens against driver
  initialization. So make those functions acquire then release the BKL to be
  on the safe side.

• d21c95c56   Add "no BKL needed" comments to several drivers ... Browse Code »

  This documents the fact that somebody looked at the relevant open()
  functions and concluded that, due to their trivial nature, no locking was
  needed.

• 62322d255   [PATCH] make more file_operation structs static ... Browse Code »

  Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
  them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
  so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
  debug option they are then protected against corruption..

  This allows us to eliminate the casts in the drivers, and eventually
  remove the use of the device_driver function pointer methods for
  platform device drivers.

  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!
