  • virtual console: add keyboard mode OFF

    Add a new mode for the virtual console keyboard OFF in which all input
    other than shift keys is ignored. Prevents vt input buffers from
    overflowing when a program opens but doesn't read from a tty, like X11
    using evdev for input.

  • For reasons unclear to me, glibc's deliberately defeats the
    attempt we make in to include

    For now, change the one instance of __u32 to 'unsigned int' instead
    because it's breaking userspace. We should probably also remove our
    inclusion of , since we don't use it -- but that's not a
    change to make in -rc.

  • There have been issues with non-latin1 diacritics and unicode.
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7746

    Git 759448f459234bfcf34b82471f0dba77a9aca498 `Kernel utf-8 handling'
    partly resolved it by adding conversion between diacritics and
    unicode. The patch below goes further by just turning diacritics into
    unicode, hence providing better future support. The kbd support can be
    fetched from
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=12313

    This was tested in all of latin1, latin9, latin2 and unicode with french
    and czech dead keys.

    Turn the kernel accent_table into unicode, and extend ioctls KDGKBDIACR
    and KDSKBDIACR into their equivalents KDGKBDIACRUC and KDSKBDIACR.

    New function int conv_uni_to_8bit(u32 uni) for converting unicode into 8bit
    _input_. No, we don't want to store the translation, as it is potentially
    sparse and large.

  • 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!
