Phil Carmody 497888cf69 treewide: fix potentially dangerous trailing ';' in #defined values/expressions
All these are instances of
  #define NAME value;
or
  #define NAME(params_opt) value;

These of course fail to build when used in contexts like
  if(foo $OP NAME)
  while(bar $OP NAME)
and may silently generate the wrong code in contexts such as
  foo = NAME + 1;    /* foo = value; + 1; */
  bar = NAME - 1;    /* bar = value; - 1; */
  baz = NAME & quux; /* baz = value; & quux; */

Initial analysis of the dangers provided by Keith Thompson in that thread.

There are many more instances of more complicated macros having unnecessary
trailing semicolons, but this pile seems to be all of the cases of simple
values suffering from the problem. (Thus things that are likely to be found
in one of the contexts above, more complicated ones aren't.)

Jesper Juhl 7c8347a91d [ISDN]: Get rid of some pointless allocation casts in common and bsd comp.
vmalloc() returns a void pointer - no need to cast the return value.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Jesper Juhl f9101210e7 [PATCH] vfree and kfree cleanup in drivers/
This patch does a full cleanup of 'NULL checks before vfree', and a partial
cleanup of calls to kfree for all of drivers/ - the kfree bit is partial in
that I only did the files that also had vfree calls in them.  The patch
also gets rid of some redundant (void *) casts of pointers being passed to
[vk]free, and a some tiny whitespace corrections also crept in.

Linus Torvalds 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!
