2009-12-16efirtc: explicitly set llseek to no_llseekJohn Kacur
Now that we've removed the BKL here, let's explicitly set llseek to no_llseek since the default llseek is not used here. The default_llseek function still contains the BKL. When we are auditing code to see if we can remove the BKL, this is one of the hidden considerations we need to take into account. i.e., is there syncronization between code that has the BKL and llseek. At the same time we remove the BKL it would be a good idea to do indicate when no llseek function is required, so we don't have to revisit this code again, when we are trying to determine if we can remove the BKL from the default_llseek.

2009-10-14rtc: Remove BKL from efirtcThomas Gleixner
BKL locking came to efirtc via the big BKL push down, but the access to the efi functions is protected by efi_rtc_lock already. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> LKML-Reference: <20091010153350.046644063@linutronix.de>

2008-07-25efirtc: push down the BKLAlan Cox
Push it down as far as the EFI method calls. Someone who knows EFI can do the other bits. Also fix another wrong unknown ioctl return.

2006-07-03[PATCH] make more file_operation structs staticArjan van de Ven
Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper debug option they are then protected against corruption..

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!
