* [PATCH] oprofile: fix potential deadlock on oprofilefs_lockJiri Kosina2007-03-28
| | | | | | | | | nmi_cpu_setup() is called from hardirq context and acquires oprofilefs_lock. alloc_event_buffer() and oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() acquire this lock without disabling irqs, which could deadlock.

* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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!
