docs: cdrom-standard.tex: convert from LaTeX to ReST

2019-06-14T20:20:43+00:00

This is the only LaTeX documentation file inside the documentation. Instead of having a Latex document directly there, convert it to ReST format, as this is the format we're using for docs. For now, let's keep the extension as .txt in order to avoid warnings when building the documentation with Sphinx. The next patch patch will rename it to .rst and add it to the building system.

Documentation/cdrom: fix German sharp s in LaTex

2018-03-09T02:35:29+00:00

Apparently the LaTex abbreviation for the German "sharp s" (ß) (Unicode U+00DF) has changed from {\sz} to {\ss}. With {\sz}, I get this error at line 1016 (line number after another patch): ! Undefined control sequence. l.1016 ...nel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Ei{\sz }feldt, This is fixed by changing the {\sz} to {\ss}. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

cdrom: Make device operations read-only

2017-02-14T15:29:56+00:00

Since function tables are a common target for attackers, it's best to keep them in read-only memory. As such, this makes the CDROM device ops tables const. This drops additionally n_minors, since it isn't used meaningfully, and sets the only user of cdrom_dummy_generic_packet explicitly so the variables can all be const. Inspired by similar changes in grsecurity/PaX. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

cdrom: make unregister_cdrom() return void

2008-04-21T07:50:08+00:00

Now unregister_cdrom() always returns 0. Make it return void and update all callers that check the return value. Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Cc: Adrian McMenamin Cc: Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Convert files to UTF-8 and some cleanups

2007-10-19T21:21:04+00:00

* Convert files to UTF-8. * Also correct some people's names (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file. Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss', which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to 7bit.) * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen) * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313) Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
