88a411c07b seqlock: livelock fix
Thomas Gleixner debugged a particularly ugly seqlock related livelock:
do not process the seq-read section if we know it beforehand that the
test at the end of the section will fail ...

99a3eb3845 [PATCH] lockdep: fix seqlock_init()
seqlock_init() needs to use spin_lock_init() for dynamic locks, so that
lockdep is notified about the presence of a new lock.

(this is a fallout of the recent networking merge, which started using
the so-far unused seqlock_init() API.)

This fix solves the following lockdep-internal warning on current -git:

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

cde227afe6 [PATCH] x86_64: inline function prefix with __always_inline in vsyscall
In vsyscall function do_vgettimeofday(), some functions are declared as
inlined, which is a hint for gcc to compile the function inlined but it
not forced.  Sometimes compiler does not compile the function as
inlined, so here inline is replaced by __always_inline prefix.

It does not happen in gcc compiler actually, but it possibly happens.

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!
