Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 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!

For general info : README.
==============================================================
This path is binary emulation relevant aka personality types aka abi.
When a process is executed, it's linked to an exec_domain whose
personality is defined using values available from /proc/sys/abi.
You can find further details about abi in include/linux/personality.h.
Here are the files featuring in 2.6 kernel :
