Andy Whitcroft be6e028b64 [PATCH] root mount failure: emit filesystems attempted
When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we
have tried to mount it with.  This gives the user vital diagnostics as to
what is missing from their kernel.

For example in the fragment below the kernel does not have CRAMFS compiled
into the kernel and yet appears to recognise it at the RAMDISK detect
stage.  Later the mount fails as we don't have the filesystem.

  RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
  RAMDISK: Loading 1604KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.
  XFS: bad magic number
  XFS: SB validate failed
  No filesystem could mount root, tried: reiserfs ext3 ext2 msdos vfat
    iso9660 jfs xfs
  Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)

Florin Malita 5ac35783f4 do_mounts.c: Minor ROOT_DEV comment cleanup
The ROOT_DEV comment is no longer accurate, it now seems to be
initialized in init/do_mounts.c.

Theodore Ts'o 9b04c997b1 [PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENT
The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means,
"don't be verbose".  This is confusing and counter-intuitive.

In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the
mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options
which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which
unfortunately we do not:

#ifdef MS_SILENT
  { "quiet",    0, 0, MS_SILENT    },   /* be quiet  */
  { "loud",     0, 1, MS_SILENT    },   /* print out messages. */
#endif

So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it
with MS_SILENT.

Rolf Eike Beer 13ae6d81b9 [PATCH] remove driverfs references from init/do_mounts.c
This patch is against 2.6.10, but still applies cleanly. It's just
s/driverfs/sysfs/ in this file.

Andrew Morton d53d9f16ea [PATCH] name_to_dev_t warning fix
kernel/power/disk.c needs a declaration of name_to_dev_t() in scope.  mount.h
seems like an appropriate choice.

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!
