Pull module update from Rusty Russell:
 "The sweeping change is to make add_taint() explicitly indicate whether
  to disable lockdep, but it's a mechanical change."

taint: add explicit flag to show whether lock dep is still OK.

2013-01-21T06:47:57+00:00

Fix up all callers as they were before, with make one change: an
unsigned module taints the kernel, but doesn't turn off lockdep.

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it

2012-10-13T00:14:55+00:00

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

This include is no longer needed.
