2009-10-14	macintosh: Remove BKL from ans-lcd	Thomas Gleixner	1	-17/+28
	The ans-lcd driver got the cycle_kernel_lock() in anslcd_open() from the BKL pushdown and it still uses the locked ioctl. The BKL serialization in this driver is more than obscure and definitely does not cover all possible corner cases. Protect the access to the hardware with a local mutex and get rid of BKL and locked ioctl.

2007-08-22	[POWERPC] Copy over headers from arch/ppc to arch/powerpc that we need	Kumar Gala	1	-1/+2
	To build arch/powerpc without including asm-ppc/ we need these files in asm-powerpc/ Moved some headers under arch/powerpc/platforms if they were only used by platform or driver files and fixed up the source file includes to match the new locations Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2007-02-12	[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 4	Arjan van de Ven	1	-1/+1
	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.

2005-09-19	[PATCH] powerpc: Remove sections use from ppc64 and drivers	Jon Loeliger	1	-5/+5
	Here is a new patch that removes all notion of the pmac, prep, chrp and openfirmware initialization sections, and then unifies the sections.h files without those __pmac, etc, sections identifiers cluttering things up.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+186
	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!
