This cuts the size of the binaries, as only objects that
are actually used are linked into the binary:
45592 -> 43608 udev
4380 -> 4380 udevsend
10380 -> 4652 udevd
34732 -> 33100 udevinfo
45432 -> 37208 udevtest
The slow logging facilites on some systems are a reason for
the reported slowness of udevstart. On one of my boxes udevstart
is down from 9 second to 0.3 seconds.
This makes the udev operation completely lockless by storing a
file for every node in /dev/.udevdb/* This solved the problem
with deadlocking concurrent udev processes waiting for each other
to release the file lock under heavy load.
In the grand tradition of releasing free software projects on my birthday
for the past few years.
And yes, I skipped version 041, call it grumpyness in my old age...
This patch exposes the wait_for_sysfs functions to all possible users,
so we need to maintain only one list of exceptions. The last list is
hereby removed from udev.c.
Hey, we got consistent source filenames today. Let's go ahead :)
I once started this ambitiuos curses gui to edit udev rules files.
udevruler still lays dead around in the tree. I will not finish it
and it is not really useful at his state. If nobody wants to do
something for it, I'm for deleting it.
This patch fixes the reintroduced bug with the
sig_handler(), if we link against a -mregparm=3 compiled
klibc on i386.
It also fixes some compiler warnings about redefined
asmlinkage on some systems.
Also some (broken?) compilers on distros throw out warnings
if asmlinkage is before "static void". This fixes it, too.
Here is a revised version of the patch. Again, it modifies the Makefile
to respect the prefix= setting when putting paths to
/etc/udev/{rules.s,permissions.d} into the built /etc/udev/udev.conf
file. It also changes the Makefile to create this file at "make" time,
not "make install" time. This allows for udevdir to be specified at
"make" time (thus putting the correct path into udev.conf), but not
specified at "make install" time (thus allowing the installation to
proceed without trying to use the wrong directory).

Description: correct udev's Makefile and template config file
to respect the "prefix=" setting supplied when it is built; also
build etc/udev/udev.conf at "make" time, not "make install" time
