e63340ae6b header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used
Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

937949d9ed [PATCH] add process_session() helper routine
Replace occurences of task->signal->session by a new process_session() helper
routine.

It will be useful for pid namespaces to abstract the session pid number.

386d9a7edd [PATCH] elf: Always define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.h
Define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.h.  The size of the type is determined using
ELF_CLASS.  This allows us to remove the defines that today are spread all
over .c and .h files.

a928972864 [PATCH] Don't uselessly export task_struct to userspace in core dumps
task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good
information, that is probably interesting in core dumps.  However there is
no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it
useless.

I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not
used anywhere else.  So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is
missing.

In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data
structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak.  I
haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that
information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the
perfect tool for aiming that attack.

So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially
dangerous, let's just not export it.

(akpm: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> "would be amazed" if anything was
using NT_TASKSTRUCT).

404351e67a [PATCH] mm: mm_init set_mm_counters
How is anon_rss initialized?  In dup_mmap, and by mm_alloc's memset; but
that's not so good if an mm_counter_t is a special type.  And how is rss
initialized?  By set_mm_counter, all over the place.  Come on, we just need to
initialize them both at once by set_mm_counter in mm_init (which follows the
memcpy when forking).

7ee8798f37 Until I figure out why NFS filesystems are having problems with
the 'load_irix_binary' and having kernel faults, Irix support is
disabled. I suspect locking of some sort, but I will now have to
investigate further.

Static IRIX binaries are now being detected properly and are using the
ELF interpreter found in this file.

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!
