b9d717a7b4 [NET]: Make sure ctl buffer is aligned properly in sys_sendmsg().
It's on the stack and declared as "unsigned char[]", but pointers
and similar can be in here thus we need to give it an explicit
alignment attribute.

8920e8f94c [PATCH] Fix 32bit sendmsg() flaw
When we copy 32bit ->msg_control contents to kernel, we walk the same
userland data twice without sanity checks on the second pass.

Second version of this patch: the original broke with 64-bit arches
running 32-bit-compat-mode executables doing sendmsg() syscalls with
unaligned CMSG data areas

Another thing is that we use kmalloc() to allocate and sock_kfree_s()
to free afterwards; less serious, but also needs fixing.

b69aee04fb [NET]: Use file->private_data to get socket pointer.
Avoid touching file->f_dentry on sockets, since file->private_data
directly gives us the socket pointer.

ba89966c19 [NET]: use __read_mostly on kmem_cache_t , DEFINE_SNMP_STAT pointers
This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.

On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.

07dc3f0718 [NET]: Make use of ->private_data in sockfd_lookup
Please consider the patch below which makes use of file->private_data to
store the pointer to the socket, which avoids touching several unused
cachelines in the dentry and inode in sockfd_lookup.

4bcff1b37e AUDIT: Fix user pointer deref thinko in sys_socketcall().
I cunningly put the audit call immediately after the 
copy_from_user().... but used the _userspace_ copy of the args still. 
Let's not do that.

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!
