Paul Bolle d1cadce15a isdn/capi: fix (middleware) device nodes
Since v2.4 the capi driver used the following device nodes if
"middleware" support was enabled:
    /dev/capi20
    /dev/capi/0
    /dev/capi/1
    [...]

/dev/capi20 is a character device node. /dev/capi/0 (and up) are tty
device nodes (with a different major).

This device node (naming) scheme is not documented anywhere, as far as I
know. It was originally provided by the capifs pseudo filesystem (before
udev became available). It is required for example by the pppd
capiplugin. It was supported until a few years ago. But a number of
developments broke it:
- v2.6.6 (May 2004) renamed /dev/capi20 to /dev/capi and removed the
  "/" from the name of capi's tty driver. The explanation of the patch
  that did this included two examples of udev rules "to restore the old
  namespace";
- either udev 154 (May 2010) or udev 179 (January 2012) stopped
  allowing to rename device nodes, and thus the ability to have
  /dev/capi20 appear instead of /dev/capi and /dev/capi/0 (and up)
  instead of /dev/capi0 (and up);
- v3.0 (July 2011) also removed capifs. That disabled another method to
  create the /dev/capi/0 (and up) device nodes.

So now users need to manually tweak their setup (eg, create /dev/capi/
and fill that with symlinks) to get things working. This is all rather
hacky and only discoverable by searching the web. Fix all this by
renaming /dev/capi back to /dev/capi20, and by setting the name of the
"capi_nc" tty driver to "capi!" so the tty device nodes appear as
/dev/capi/0 (and up).

Paul Bolle a79f5d2612 isdn/capi: Make verbose reporting depend on capidrv
The Kconfig symbol ISDN_DRV_AVMB1_VERBOSE_REASON is only used for
capi_info2str(). That function is only used in capidrv.c. So setting it
without setting ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV is pointless. Make it depend on
ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV, rename it to ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV_VERBOSE and put its
entry after ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV's entry.

Since this symbol seems to be primarily used for debugging, keep it off
by default. By now the last users of capidrv hopefully know all they
need to know about the reasons for disconnecting.

Paul Bolle d1958f8c2f isdn/capi: Make Middleware depend on CAPI2.0
The Kconfig symbol ISDN_CAPI_MIDDLEWARE is only used in capi.c. Setting
it without setting ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20 is therefor useless. Make it depend
on ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20 and put its entry after ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20's entry.

Joe Millenbach 4f73bc4dd3 tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY
The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.

The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

Jan Kiszka 771f4c87be CAPI: Remove experimental tag from middleware feature
Despite all its bugs, the middleware support of our CAPI stack was
already in use for many, many moons. And after going through its code,
fixing all issues I found, I feel it deserves to officially become a
non-experimental feature.

As a last duty to this feature, move its help to right option so that
users can read the rationale.

Karsten Keil 17f0cd2f35 [PATCH] Fix buffer overflow and races in capi debug functions
The CAPI trace debug functions were using a fixed size buffer, which can be
overflowed if wrong formatted CAPI messages were sent to the kernel capi
layer.  The code was also not protected against multiple callers.  This fix
bug 8028.

Additionally the patch make the CAPI trace functions optional.

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!
