Nothing terribly earth-shattering in this release. We had a number of
reports of build-breaking problems in version 5.4, mostly due to the
fact that we now turn on -Werror by default, and a number of patches to
fix them.

I'm starting to have doubts as to whether it's a good idea to keep
- -Werror in the default CFLAGS. This is built in a large range of
environments and with a large range of different tool versions.
Catching all of the warnings can be difficult.

I've left that flag in place for now, but if it's causing significant
pain for anyone then please speak up, and we might remove it in a later
release.

Highlights:

 * a bunch of fixes for compile time warnings and build breaks

 * some fixes in the libcap capabilities dropping code 

 * remove unneeded mount.smb2 multicall code and other prep work for
   smb2 support

 * manpage updates for kernel-level behavior changes

    mount.cifs: uninitialized variables in mount.cifs

    older gcc versions (4.3 in the case of SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP 1 and
    SP 2) complain about uninitialized variables in the recent 5.4 release.

    The attached patch makes the build process a bit quieter.

    cifs.upcall: missing prototype for krb5_auth_con_set_req_cksumtype in MIT
    krb5 < 1.7

    products coming with MIT krb5 < 1.7 (like SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP 1
    or SP 2) suffer from the same issue as described by
    https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6918

    The declaration of krb5_auth_con_set_req_cksumtype is missing.

    mount.cifs: toggle_dac_capability() stores return code

    the build process of the cifs-utils for Mandriva 2011 made me notice of
    the unused variable rc in toggle_dac_capability() of mount.cifs.c.

    A bit up in the code we store the return value and do not make use of it
    while calling return.

    The attached patch intends to fix this.

    The failing build result is still visible at

    mount.cifs: remove unnecessary getuid() check in libcap version of toggle_dac_capability

    I'm not sure what I was thinking when I added that check in, but it's
    been there since the inception. We shouldn't care at all what the
    real uid is when we call toggle_dac_capability and indeed we don't
    care with the libcap-ng version. Remove that check.

    mount.cifs: don't pass credentials= option to the kernel

    We handle this option in userspace, so there's little value in also
    passing it to the kernel.

    Also fix minor double-comma nit in the options string.

    mount.cifs: don't send a mandatory ver= option to the kernel

    Traditionally, this ver= option was used to specify the "options
    version" that we're passing in. It has always been set to '1' though
    and we have never changed that.

    Eventually we want to have a ver= (or vers=) option that allows users
    to specify the SMB version that they want to use to talk to the server.

    At that point, this option will just get in the way. Let's go ahead
    and remove it now in preparation for that day.

    mount.cifs: remove smb2 multicall binary code

    This was added when it was thought that smb2 would be a different fstype
    altogether. Now that we are not adding a separate fstype, this code is
    no longer needed since nothing will ever call /sbin/mount.smb2.

    doc: remove old XML sources for mount.cifs.8 and cifs.upcall.8

    These files were added when I originally split these tools off from the
    samba sources, but we haven't ever used them to build the actual
    manpages and they haven't been maintained. Remove them.
