  • The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
    EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them
    onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

    Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

    -#include
    +#include

    This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
    will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

  • It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

    This patch already moves register_reboot_notifier() and
    unregister_reboot_notifier() from kernel/notifier.c to kernel/sys.c.

  • Add __kprobes to notify_die() because do_int3() calls notify_die()
    instead of atomic_notify_call_chain() which is already marked as
    __kprobes.

  • during some development we suspected a case where we left something
    in a notifier chain that was from a module that was unloaded already...
    and that sort of thing is rather hard to track down.

    This patch adds a very simple sanity check (which isn't all that
    expensive) to make sure the notifier we're about to call is
    actually from either the kernel itself of from a still-loaded
    module, avoiding a hard-to-chase-down crash.

  • The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative
    value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain.

    A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism:
    notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already
    registered. With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states
    changes in procfs.

  • There is separate notifier header, but no separate notifier .c file.

    Extract notifier code out of kernel/sys.c which will remain for
    misc syscalls I hope. Merge kernel/die_notifier.c into kernel/notifier.c.
