2012-10-01Get rid of Documentation/feature-removal.txtLinus Torvalds
This file has turned out to be a pure write-only file that causes merge conflicts and has no actual redeeming features. There is never any reason to add stuff to this idiotic file. Either something isn't getting used, and you should just remove it, or there is no excuse for removing it in the first place. Just stop the idiocy. It has also been the excuse for just plain bad behavior ("Hey, I don't like xyz, so let's mark it for removal" followed by "Hey, look, it been in feature-removal.txt for six months now, so we should remove it"). The recent bogus setitimer() ABI change request was just the most recent example of pointless and incorrect mental masturbation involving this file, and I'm tired of the silly and pointless conflicts in the file. This removal was discussed during the recent kernel summit, and while Steven Rostedt suggested we should just enter the file itself in the feature-removal schedule (to see if anybody who edits the file actually looks at it), that's cute but non-productive.

Pull USB changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Here is the big USB pull request for 3.7-rc1 There are lots of gadget driver changes (including copying a bunch of files into the drivers/staging/ccg/ directory so that the other gadget drivers can be fixed up properly without breaking that driver), and we remove the old obsolete ub.c driver from the tree. There are also the usual XHCI set of updates, and other various driver changes and updates. We also are trying hard to remove the old dbg() macro, but the final bits of that removal will be coming in through the networking tree before we can delete it for good. All of these patches have been in the linux-next tree.

2012-08-01Merge branch 'dmaengine' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-armLinus Torvalds
Pull ARM DMA engine updates from Russell King: "This looks scary at first glance, but what it is is: - a rework of the sa11x0 DMA engine driver merged during the previous cycle, to extract a common set of helper functions for DMA engine implementations. - conversion of amba-pl08x.c to use these helper functions. - addition of OMAP DMA engine driver (using these helper functions), and conversion of some of the OMAP DMA users to use DMA engine. Nothing in the helper functions is ARM specific, so I hope that other implementations can consolidate some of their code by making use of these helpers. This has been sitting in linux-next most of the merge cycle, and has been tested by several OMAP folk. I've tested it on sa11x0 platforms, and given it my best shot on my broken platforms which have the amba-pl08x controller. The last point is the addition to feature-removal-schedule.txt, which will have a merge conflict. Between myself and TI, we're planning to remove the old TI DMA implementation next year."

2012-03-30x86: Remove the ancient and deprecated disable_hlt() and enable_hlt() facilityLen Brown
The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this.
