[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 6

2007-02-12T17:48:45+00:00

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.

Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again

2006-12-11T19:34:11+00:00

As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary.  It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)

That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").

This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding.  And /proc/version simply uses a different string.

To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

[PATCH] rename struct pspace to struct pid_namespace

2006-12-08T16:28:52+00:00

Rename struct pspace to struct pid_namespace for consistency with other
namespaces (uts_namespace and ipc_namespace).  Also rename
include/linux/pspace.h to include/linux/pid_namespace.h and variables from
pspace to pid_ns.

[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information

2006-12-08T16:28:37+00:00

utsname information is shown in the linux banner, which also is used for
/proc/version (which can have different utsname values inside a uts
namespaces).  this patch makes the varying data arguments and changes the
string to a format string, using those arguments.

[PATCH] remove the syslog interface when printk is disabled

2006-12-07T16:39:38+00:00

Attempts to read() from the non-existent dmesg buffer will return zero and
userspace tends to get stuck in a busyloop.

So just remove /dev/kmsg altogether if CONFIG_PRINTK=n.
