Greg Kroah-Hartman dcd0da0021 [PATCH] Kobject: provide better warning messages when people do stupid things
Now that kobject_add() is used more than kobject_register() the kernel
wasn't always letting people know that they were doing something wrong.
This change fixes this.

Chuck Ebbert b365b3daf2 [PATCH] kobject: don't oops on null kobject.name
kobject_get_path() will oops if one of the component names is
NULL.  Fix that by returning NULL instead of oopsing.

Greg Kroah-Hartman c171fef5c8 [PATCH] kobject_add() must have a valid name in order to succeed.
So we might as well check to verify this, and let the user know that
something is wrong if they didn't do it correctly, instead of oopsing
later on in kobject_get_name() or somewhere else.

Kay Sievers 312c004d36 [PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"
Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

Tim Schmielau 4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

kay.sievers@vrfy.org 18c3d5271b [PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - kobject add/remove
kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore.
The user should do it itself if it has finished populating the device
directory.

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!
