      Deprecate a.out ELF interpreters · 8e9073ed
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could
      probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter).  One particular
      messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos.  This was
      originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an
      a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit.  But by
      now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up
      binfmt_elf.c up a bit.
      
      I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25.
      
      Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so
      they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel.
      
      This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk
      warning users.

      ACPI: Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal · 14e04fb3

      Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal in 6 months.
      
      Re-name acpi_bus_generate_event() to acpi_bus_generate_proc_event()
      to make sure there is no confusion that it is for /proc/acpi/event only.
      
      Add CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT to allow removal of /proc/acpi/event.

      mm: fault feedback #1 · d0217ac0
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Change ->fault prototype.  We now return an int, which contains
      VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
       FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
      locked, and potentially other things.  This is not quite the way he wanted
      it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
      arch code).
      
      This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
      that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
      can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
      going to do that anyway.
      
      struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
      is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
      without really good reason.
      
      The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

      mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear) · 54cb8821
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
      the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
      
      ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
      should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
      is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
       But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
      calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
      
      Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
      to be doing.
      
      This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
      ->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
      so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
      everyone switches over.
      
      The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
      subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
      to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
      
      After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
      pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
      
      NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
      users have hit mainline yet.

      IB/mthca: Schedule MSI support for removal · f6be6fbe
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      The mthca driver supports both MSI and MSI-X.  However, MSI-X works with
      all hardware that the driver handles, and provides a superset of what
      MSI does, so there's no point in having code for both.  Schedule MSI
      support for removal in 2008 to give anyone who actually needs MSI and
      who can't use MSI time to speak up.

      i2c: Deprecate legacy RTC drivers · ba7fbb72
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      We have a new RTC subsystem with better drivers.
      
      Legacy driver status:
      * ds1337: The DS1337 and DS1339 are now supported by the rtc-ds1307
        driver, so it looks to me like we could even delete the ds1337
        driver right away.
      * ds1374: Will soon be replaced with Scott Wood's rtc-ds1374 driver.
      * m41t00: The M41T00 is supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver. For the
        M41T81 and M41T85, the rtc-m41t80 driver written by Atsushi Nemoto
        should work.
