  • Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which
    would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed
    string.

    In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed
    string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to
    accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no
    interest in it and promptly throw it away.

    This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases
    where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

  • A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
    source files, including:

    * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
    * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
    * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
    * reword some text for clarity

  • This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed
    to command line helper function, get_options.

    Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a
    list of cpus.

    Format: ,...,
    Valid values of include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in
    system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of
    cpus on a large system. The kernel isolcpus code would not need any
    changing to use this feature. To use it, the change would be in the
    command line format for 'isolcpus='
    Format:
    ,...,
    or
    - (must be a positive range in ascending
    order.)
    or a mixture
    ,...,-

  • 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!
