      [PATCH] SELINUX: add policyvers to selinuxfs · aa9a90bf
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
      
      This patch adds a file to the root selinuxfs directory which returns the
      security policy version associated with the currently running kernel.  Its
      purpose is to allow scripts to determine which version of policy to load.

      [PATCH] drivers/block/initrd.c removal · 0af65687
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk
      
      * drivers/block/initrd.c gone
      
      * chunk of memory where the current tree would look for intird image is
        checked for being a valid initramfs image first; then, it is either
        unpacked (in addition to normal built-in image) or, if it wasn't a valid
        image, copied into a regular file on rootfs called /dev/initrd.  Then
        memory is freed.
      
      Result:
      
      a) we can put initramfs image in place of initrd one and kernel will DTRT.
      
      b) initrd images still work as usual; code that shoves the thing to
         ramdisk, etc.  doesn't care whether it reads from a block device or
         regular file.
      
      c) initrd.c is gone, so is fake block device and a lot of irregularities
         with it.
      
      It has been in -mm for almost two weeks with no reported problems.
