      [PATCH] Restore PPP filtering · aa524be4
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Karsten Keil's patch entitled "[ISDN]: Fix kernel PPP/IPPP active/passiv
      filter code" that went in back in April was an attempt to solve a real
      problem - namely that the libpcap maintainers have removed useful
      functionality that pppd was using - but his fix broke existing pppd
      binaries and IMO didn't end up actually solving the problem.
      
      This patch reverts the change to ppp_generic.c so that existing pppd
      binaries work again.  I am going to have to work out a proper fix, which
      may involve further changes to ppp_generic.c, but I will make sure existing
      pppd binaries still work.

      [PATCH] kbuild: Remove LANG preset in top-level Makefile · c279ca27
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      In the top-level Makefile a number of locale related environment
      variables were preset to give a small speed up when building the kernel.
      
      Unfortunately this had the bad sideeffect that the variable
      CFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.o lost the exported vaule in some setups (obviously
      not mine).  This smells like a make issue - but the best solution is
      simply to drop presetting the locale related variables.

      Add infrastructure for the VFS layer to mark files seekable. · 4a47ae69
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We use a FMODE_LSEEK flag to match the existing read/write
      bits. This allows us to check for seekability on a VFS level
      for lseek/pread/pwrite, and cleans things up.
      
      Update some sites that used the numeric constants to use 
      the symbolic values instead.
