      Fix incorrect user space access locking in mincore() · 2f77d107
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Doug Chapman noticed that mincore() will doa "copy_to_user()" of the
      result while holding the mmap semaphore for reading, which is a big
      no-no.  While a recursive read-lock on a semaphore in the case of a page
      fault happens to work, we don't actually allow them due to deadlock
      schenarios with writers due to fairness issues.
      
      Doug and Marcel sent in a patch to fix it, but I decided to just rewrite
      the mess instead - not just fixing the locking problem, but making the
      code smaller and (imho) much easier to understand.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      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!
