  • Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • Since version 4.1 the gcc is warning about ignored attributes. This patch is
    using the equivalent attribute on the struct instead of on each of the
    structure or union members.

    GCC Manual:
    "Specifying Attributes of Types

    packed
    This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies
    that
    each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory
    required. When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the
    smallest integral type should be used.

    Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to
    specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union
    members."

  • This recently got changed to include a lot of kernel internal stuff in the
    non-__KERNEL__ area of the header, which isn't so kosher and breaks libc
    builds.

    The fix is pretty simple.

  • 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!
