2008-07-24UFS: add const to parser token tableSteven Whitehouse
This patch adds a "const" to the parser token table. I've done an allmodconfig build to see if this produces any warnings/failures and the patch includes a fix for the only warning that was produced.

2008-05-14add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing ↵Markus Armbruster
more robust match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer. There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

2007-05-05Fix nfsroot buildRalf Baechle
CC fs/nfs/nfsroot.o fs/nfs/nfsroot.c:131: error: tokens causes a section type conflict make[2]: *** [fs/nfs/nfsroot.o] Error 1 This is due to mixing const and non-const content in the same section which halfway recent gccs absolutely hate. Fixed by dropping the const. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-05-03[AFS]: Make the match_*() functions take const options.David Howells
Make the match_*() functions take a const pointer to the options table and make strings pointers in the options table const too. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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!
