Ulrich Drepper c04030e16d [PATCH] flags parameter for linkat
I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition.  The name.
Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.

Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
because it would break the ABI.  But the fact remains that some application
might want this behavior.

We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
 For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
flags parameter.  If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
behavior could be invoked.

I do not want to introduce such a patch now.  But we could add the
parameter now, just don't use it.  The patch below would do this.  Can we
get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
syscall API?

Sam Ravnborg 048eb582f3 kbuild: mips use generic asm-offsets.h support
Removed obsolete stuff from arch makefile.
mips had a special rule for generating asm-offsets.h so preserved it
using an architecture specific hook in top-level Kbuild file.
Renamed .h file to asm-offsets.h

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!
