Address a potential 'larger than buffer size' memory access by
clear_user().  Without this patch, this call to clear_user() can attempt to
clear too many (tsz) bytes resulting in a wrong (-EFAULT) return code by
read_kcore().

Move the roundup() macro from binfmt_elf.c into linux/kernel.h as it's
generally useful.

<title>[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const</title>

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

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!
