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!

+config EXPERIMENTAL
+ bool "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
+ ---help---
+ Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
+ drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
+ of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
+ testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
+ known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
+ currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
+ uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
+ avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
+ testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
+ may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
+ in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
+ with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
+ (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
+ <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
+ <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
+ <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
+
+ This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
+ drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
+ scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
+
+ Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
+ falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
+ using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
+ cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
+ you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
+ drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.
+
+config CLEAN_COMPILE

+config LOCALVERSION
+ string "Local version - append to kernel release"
+ help
+ Append an extra string to the end of your kernel version.
+ This will show up when you type uname, for example.
+ The string you set here will be appended after the contents of
+ any files with a filename matching localversion* in your
+ object and source tree, in that order. Your total string can
+ be a maximum of 64 characters.
+
+config SWAP
+ bool "Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)"

+ This option allows you to choose whether you want to have support
+ for socalled swap devices or swap files in your kernel that are
+ used to provide more virtual memory than the actual RAM present
+ in your computer. If unsure say Y.
+
+config SYSVIPC
+ bool "System V IPC"
+ depends on MMU
+ ---help---
+ Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
+ system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
+ exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
+ and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
+ you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
+ DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
+ you'll need to say Y here.
+
+ You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in
+ section 6.4 of the Linux Programmer's Guide, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
+
+config POSIX_MQUEUE
+ bool "POSIX Message Queues"
+ depends on NET && EXPERIMENTAL
+ ---help---
+ POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
+ queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
+ of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
+ programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
+ queues (functions mq_*) say Y here. To use this feature you will
+ also need mqueue library, available from
+ <http://www.mat.uni.torun.pl/~wrona/posix_ipc/>
+
+ POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
+ and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
+ operations on message queues.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
+ bool "BSD Process Accounting"
+ help
+ If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
+ kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
+ information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
+ that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
+ information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
+ command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
+ list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
+ up to the user level program to do useful things with this
+ information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
+
+config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
+ bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
+ depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
+ default n
+ help
+ If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
+ in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
+ process and it's parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
+ with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
+ for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
+ at <http://www.physik3.uni-rostock.de/tim/kernel/utils/acct/>.
+
+config SYSCTL
+ bool "Sysctl support"
+ ---help---
+ The sysctl interface provides a means of dynamically changing
+ certain kernel parameters and variables on the fly without requiring
+ a recompile of the kernel or reboot of the system. The primary
+ interface consists of a system call, but if you say Y to "/proc
+ file system support", a tree of modifiable sysctl entries will be
+ generated beneath the /proc/sys directory. They are explained in the
+ files in <file:Documentation/sysctl/>. Note that enabling this
+ option will enlarge the kernel by at least 8 KB.
+
+ As it is generally a good thing, you should say Y here unless
+ building a kernel for install/rescue disks or your system is very
+ limited in memory.
+
+config AUDIT
+ bool "Auditing support"
+ default y if SECURITY_SELINUX
+ help
+ Enable auditing infrastructure that can be used with another
+ kernel subsystem, such as SELinux (which requires this for
+ logging of avc messages output). Does not do system-call
+ auditing without CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL.

+ can be used independently or with another kernel subsystem,
+ such as SELinux.
+
+config HOTPLUG
+ bool "Support for hot-pluggable devices" if !ARCH_S390
+ default ARCH_S390
+ help
+ This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree
+ modules require HOTPLUG functionality, but a module built
+ outside the kernel tree does. Such modules require Y here.
+
+config KOBJECT_UEVENT
+ bool "Kernel Userspace Events"
+ depends on NET
+ default y
+ help
+ This option enables the kernel userspace event layer, which is a
+ simple mechanism for kernel-to-user communication over a netlink
+ socket.
+ The goal of the kernel userspace events layer is to provide a simple
+ and efficient events system, that notifies userspace about kobject
+ state changes. This will enable applications to just listen for
+ events instead of polling system devices and files.
+ Hotplug events (kobject addition and removal) are also available on
+ the netlink socket in addition to the execution of /sbin/hotplug if
+ CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled.
+
+ Say Y, unless you are building a system requiring minimal memory
+ consumption.
+
+config IKCONFIG
+ bool "Kernel .config support"
+ ---help---
+ This option enables the complete Linux kernel ".config" file
+ contents to be saved in the kernel. It provides documentation
+ of which kernel options are used in a running kernel or in an
+ on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the kernel
+ image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as
+ input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel.
+ It can also be extracted from a running kernel by reading
+ /proc/config.gz if enabled (below).
+
+config IKCONFIG_PROC
+ bool "Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz"
+ depends on IKCONFIG && PROC_FS
+ ---help---
+ This option enables access to the kernel configuration file
+ through /proc/config.gz.
+
+config CPUSETS
+ bool "Cpuset support"
+ depends on SMP
+ help
+ This options will let you create and manage CPUSET's which
+ allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
+ Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
+ This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.
+
+ Say N if unsure.
+
+menuconfig EMBEDDED
+ bool "Configure standard kernel features (for small systems)"
+ help
+ This option allows certain base kernel options and settings
+ to be disabled or tweaked. This is for specialized
+ environments which can tolerate a "non-standard" kernel.
+ Only use this if you really know what you are doing.
+
+config KALLSYMS
+ bool "Load all symbols for debugging/kksymoops" if EMBEDDED
+ default y
+ help
+ Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
+ symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
+ somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
+
+config KALLSYMS_ALL
+ bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
+ help
+ Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions, for nicer
+ OOPS messages. Some debuggers can use kallsyms for other
+ symbols too: say Y here to include all symbols, and you
+ don't care about adding 300k to the size of your kernel.
+
+ Say N.
+
+config KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS
+ bool "Do an extra kallsyms pass"
+ depends on KALLSYMS
+ help
+ If kallsyms is not working correctly, the build will fail with
+ inconsistent kallsyms data. If that occurs, log a bug report and
+ turn on KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS which should result in a stable build.
+ Always say N here unless you find a bug in kallsyms, which must be
+ reported. KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is only a temporary workaround while
+ you wait for kallsyms to be fixed.
+
+config BASE_FULL
+ default y
+ bool "Enable full-sized data structures for core" if EMBEDDED
+ help
+ Disabling this option reduces the size of miscellaneous core
+ kernel data structures. This saves memory on small machines,
+ but may reduce performance.
+
+config FUTEX
+ bool "Enable futex support" if EMBEDDED
+ default y
+ help
+ Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
+ support for "fast userspace mutexes". The resulting kernel may not
+ run glibc-based applications correctly.
+
+config EPOLL
+ bool "Enable eventpoll support" if EMBEDDED
+ default y
+ help
+ Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
+ support for epoll family of system calls.
+
+config CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
+ bool "Optimize for size" if EMBEDDED
+ default y if ARM || H8300
+ help
+ Enabling this option will pass "-Os" instead of "-O2" to gcc
+ resulting in a smaller kernel.
+
+ WARNING: some versions of gcc may generate incorrect code with this
+ option. If problems are observed, a gcc upgrade may be needed.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config SHMEM
+ bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EMBEDDED
+ default y
+ depends on MMU
+ help
+ The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
+ It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
+ to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
+ option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
+ which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
+
+config CC_ALIGN_FUNCTIONS
+ int "Function alignment" if EMBEDDED
+ default 0
+ help
+ Align the start of functions to the next power-of-two greater than n,
+ skipping up to n bytes. For instance, 32 aligns functions
+ to the next 32-byte boundary, but 24 would align to the next
+ 32-byte boundary only if this can be done by skipping 23 bytes or less.
+ Zero means use compiler's default.
+
+config CC_ALIGN_LABELS
+ int "Label alignment" if EMBEDDED
+ default 0
+ help
+ Align all branch targets to a power-of-two boundary, skipping
+ up to n bytes like ALIGN_FUNCTIONS. This option can easily
+ make code slower, because it must insert dummy operations for
+ when the branch target is reached in the usual flow of the code.
+ Zero means use compiler's default.
+
+config CC_ALIGN_LOOPS
+ int "Loop alignment" if EMBEDDED
+ default 0

+ Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
