8a866fee39 kfifo: DECLARE_KIFO_PTR(fifo, u64) does not work on arm 32 bit
If you try to store u64 in a kfifo (or a struct with u64 members),
then the buf member of __STRUCT_KFIFO_PTR will cause 4 bytes
padding due to alignment (note that struct __kfifo is 20 bytes
on 32 bit).

That in turn causes the __is_kfifo_ptr() to fail, which is caught
by kfifo_alloc(), which now returns EINVAL.

So, ensure that __is_kfifo_ptr() compares to the right structure.

21b2f44315 kfifo: fix sparse complaints
This patch fix complaints by the sparse tool when using kfifo_put() with
non scalar types like structures (i.e.
drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c).

Casting a pointer to the value and read this pointer instead of directly
casting the value will fix this.

The generated code is equal.

498d319bb5 kfifo API type safety
This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API.  It is now safe
to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a
compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination
address is pointing to a const variable.

As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element
instead a pointer to the element.  This was suggested Russell King.  It
make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to
create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass
integers of different sizes.

IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of
kfifo_put().

The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.

144ecf310e kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() to return a signed int value
Add a new __kfifo_int_must_check_helper() helper function, which is needed
for kfifo_alloc() to return the right signed integer value.

The origin __kfifo_must_check_helper() helper was renamed into
__kfifo_uint_must_check_helper() to show the sign which is expected and
returned.

(And revert the temporary disabling of __kfifo_must_check_helper())

52c5171214 kfifo: disable __kfifo_must_check_helper()
This helper is wrong: it coerces signed values into unsigned ones, so code
such as

	if (kfifo_alloc(...) < 0) {
		error
	}

will fail to detect the error.

So let's disable __kfifo_must_check_helper() for 2.6.36.

530cd330dc include/linux/kfifo.h: fix INIT_KFIFO()
DECLARE_KFIFO creates a union with a struct kfifo and a buffer array with
size [size + sizeof(struct kfifo)].

INIT_KFIFO then sets the buffer pointer in struct kfifo to point to the
beginning of the buffer array which means that the first call to kfifo_in
will overwrite members of the struct kfifo.

64ce1037c5 kfifo: sanitize *_user error handling
Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between
a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data.  The problem
is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code.

Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter
and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value.

I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem
to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)

I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions
correctly.

4546548789 kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.

The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains.  Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.

I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:

 - The API is to simple, important functions are missing
 - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
 - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
 - There is no support for data records inside a fifo

So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much.  The new API has the following benefits:

 - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
 - Provide an API for the most use case.
 - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
 - Linux style habit.
 - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
 - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
 - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
   indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
 - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
   which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
 - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
   one is required.
 - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
   - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
     field of 1 bytes.
   - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
     field of 2 bytes.
   - Fixed size records, which no record size field.
 - Preserve memory resource.
 - Performance!
 - Easy to use!

This patch:

Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure.  This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them.  This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

f8a7c1a976 kfifo: Use "const" definitions
Currently kfifo cannot be used by parts of the kernel that use "const"
properly as kfifo itself does not use const for passed data blocks which
are indeed const.

72fd4a35a8 [PATCH] Numerous fixes to kernel-doc info in source files.
A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
source files, including:

  * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
  * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
  * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
  * reword some text for clarity

dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
