Linus Torvalds 44e843eb5c As a result of some of Al Viro's great work, here are a few cleanups
with fixes for adfs:
 
 - factor out filename comparison, so we can be sure that adfs_compare()
   (used for namei compare) and adfs_match() (used for lookup) have the
   same behaviour.
 - factor out filename lowering (which is not the same as tolower() which
   will lower top-bit-set characters) to ensure that we have the same
   behaviour when comparing filenames as when we hash them.
 - factor out the object fixups, so we are applying all fixups to
   directory objects in the same way, independent of the disk format.
 - factor out the object name fixup (into the previously factored out
   function) to ensure that filenames are appropriately translated -
   for example, adfs allows '/' in filenames, which being the Unix path
   separator, need to be translated to a different character, which is
   normally '.' (DOS 8.3 filenames represent the . as a / on adfs, so
   this is the expected reverse translation.)
 - remove filename truncation; Al asked about this and apparently the
   decision is to remove it.  In any case, adfs's truncation was buggy,
   so this rids us of that bug by removing the truncation feature.
 - we now have only one location which adds the "filetype" suffix to the
   filename, so there's no point that code being out of line.
 - since we translate '/' into '.', an adfs filename of "/" or "//" would
   end up being translated to "." and ".." which have special meanings.
   In this case, change the first character to "^" to avoid these special
   directory names being abused.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
