  • Transform some calls to kmalloc/memset to a single kzalloc (or kcalloc).

    Here is a short excerpt of the semantic patch performing
    this transformation:

    identifier f,fld;

    ... when != \(x->fld=E;\|y=f(...,x,...);\|f(...,x,...);\|x=E;\|while(...) S\|for(e1;e2;e3) S\)
    - memset((T2)x,0,E1);

  • This extends the API somewhat to allow for platform-specific VCR reading and
    writing. Some platforms (like SH4-202) implement the VCR in a split VCRL and
    VCRH, but end up being in reverse order or have other quirks that need to be
    dealt with, so we add a set of superhyway_ops per-bus to accomodate this.

    We also have to extend the per-device resources somewhat, as some devices now
    conveniently split control and data blocks. So we allow a platform to
    register its set of SuperHyway devices via superhyway_add_devices() with the
    control block always ordered as the first resource (as this is the one that
    userspace cares about).

  • I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
    sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
    from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
    by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
    this disentangling (patch to follow later).
    However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

    In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
    possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
    i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
    patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
    adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
    hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
    will pick it up again in the next round.

  • 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!
