2012-03-30itimer: Schedule silent NULL pointer fixup in setitimer() for removalSasikantha babu
setitimer() should return -EFAULT if called with an invalid pointer for value. The current code excludes a NULL pointer from this rule and silently uses it to stop the timer. This violates the spec. Warn about user space apps which rely on that feature and schedule it for removal.

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.

2011-08-05acer-wmi: schedule threeg and interface sysfs for feature removalLee, Chun-Yi
we can now autodetect internal 3G device and already have the threeg rfkill device. So, we plan to remove threeg sysfs support for it's no longer necessary. We also plan to remove interface sysfs file that exposed which ACPI-WMI interface that was used by acer-wmi driver. It will replaced by information log when acer-wmi initial. We keep it around for userspace compatibility reasons, schedule removal in 2012.

It's about time to revert 16d752397301b9 ("thermal: Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n"). Anybody running a kernel >= 2.6.40 would also be running a recent enough version of lm-sensors. Actually having CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON is pretty convenient so instead of dropping it, we keep it but hide it.

2011-07-25oom: remove references to old badness() functionDavid Rientjes
The badness() function in the oom killer was renamed to oom_badness() in a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite") since it is a globally exported function for clarity. The prototype for the old function still existed in linux/oom.h, so remove it. There are no existing users. Also fixes documentation and comment references to badness() and adjusts them accordingly.

2011-07-15nfsd: Remove deprecated nfsctl system call and related code.NeilBrown
As promised in feature-removal-schedule.txt it is time to remove the nfsctl system call. Userspace has perferred to not use this call throughout 2.6 and it has been excluded in the default configuration since 2.6.36 (9 months ago). So this patch removes all the code that was being compiled out. There are still references to sys_nfsctl in various arch systemcall tables and related code. These should be cleaned out too, probably in the next merge window. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
