Remove MSI support from the mthca driver, as scheduled.  There is no
reason to use MSI instead of MSI-X, since MSI-X performs better.  No

7058cb02dd sysctl: deprecate sys_sysctl in a user space visible fashion.
After adding checking to register_sysctl_table and finding a whole new set
of bugs.  Missed by countless code reviews and testers I have finally lost
patience with the binary sysctl interface.

The binary sysctl interface has been sort of deprecated for years and
finding a user space program that uses the syscall is more difficult then
finding a needle in a haystack.  Problems continue to crop up, with the in
kernel implementation.  So since supporting something that no one uses is
silly, deprecate sys_sysctl with a sufficient grace period and notice that
the handful of user space applications that care can be fixed or replaced.

The /proc/sys sysctl interface that people use will continue to be
supported indefinitely.

This patch moves the tested warning about sysctls from the path where
sys_sysctl to a separate path called from both implementations of
sys_sysctl, and it adds a proper entry into
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.

Allowing us to revisit this in a couple years time and actually kill
sys_sysctl.

8e9073ed02 Deprecate a.out ELF interpreters
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.

d0217ac04c mm: fault feedback #1
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.

54cb8821de mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)
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.

e84845c4bf add printk.time option, deprecate 'time'
Allow printk_time to be enabled or disabled at boot time.  Previously it
could be enabled only, but not disabled.

Change printk_time from an int to a bool since that's what it is.  Make its
logical (exposed) name just be "time" (was "printk_time").

Note: Changes kernel boot option syntax from "time" to "printk.time=value".

Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be
changed at run-time by modifying
  /sys/module/printk/parameters/time
to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it.

Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also
be set at boot-time by using
  linux printk.time=<bool>

If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated
and will be removed.

Note its planned removal in feature-removal-schedule.txt.

ba7fbb723f i2c: Deprecate legacy RTC drivers
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.

53c96b4174 ieee1394: remove old isochronous ABI
Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}"
from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006.

This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and
disables them in pcilynx.  That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and
hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception
and transmission.

Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso
interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no
longer useful for isochronous applications.

raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the
requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.

With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't
necessary anymore.  If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata
warns.  If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does
the right thing.  Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown
by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

920a4b1038 libata: implement libata.spindown_compat
Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
shutdown.  In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
shutdown(8).  Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
this double spinning down causes problem.

This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down.  Note that
libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).

shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually.  Some drive do spin up on
SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean.  Those disks
currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
head.  We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
dangerous data integrity-wise.

So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.

  * Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
    exists.  If it does, write 0 to it.

  * For each libata harddisk {
	* Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
	  exists.  Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
	  down as before.
  }

The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
it.

To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by
hours of tireless usability testing).

199c1167f5 ieee1394: change deprecation status of dv1394
Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no
justification to remove dv1394 right now.

Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense,
especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive
alternative to the existing ones.  But we don't have a schedule at the
moment.

cc2cccaec8 [PATCH] schedule wext/rtnl for removal
Since wext is being replaced as fast as we can (it'll probably stick around
for legacy drivers though) and the wext/netlink stuff was never really
used, this schedules it for removal.

The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the main
user of the wext user interface are the wireless-tools, they only have an
alpha version using the netlink interface and even that is incomplete.

b119dc3f99 i2c: Migration aids for i2c_adapter.dev removal
Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and
include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this:

 - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had.  This
   was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node.
   Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away.

 - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any
   physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to
   fix this problem earlier.

This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better
citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

13bb7e37e5 [PATCH] sysctl: Undeprecate sys_sysctl
The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl.  It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.

Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.

Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.

Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.

Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.

So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.

With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it.  Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.

i2c: Plan i2c-isa for removal

i2c-isa doesn't make much sense in the device driver model. Drivers
relying on it are better implemented as platform drivers. We must
wait for recent versions of libsensors (2.10.0 or later) to be widely
deployed beforehand, though. This move should also make it easier to
convert i2c-core to the device driver model.

6e21361619 [PATCH] irq-flags: consolidate flags for request_irq
The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc.
Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_
flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags.

This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit
field values.

This patch:

Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to
IRQF_ .  This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace
and allows to remove the architecture dependencies.

SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely.

The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be
removed after a 6 month grace period.

Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL.  These
will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the
kernel and are on the way out.  When a module uses such a symbol, a warning
is printk'd at modprobe time.

The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes
roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary.  This
patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config
option.

Patch update in anticipation of more workarounds:
 - Add module parameter "workarounds".
 - Deprecate parameter "force_inquiry_hack".
 - Compose the blacklist of a compound type for better readability and

 - Remove a now unused #define.

like the others.  Now that XFS no longer uses it, and its last remaining
caller actually wants an elevated refcount, opencode that callsite and
schedule find_trylock_page() for removal.

7d99b7d634 [PATCH] Validate and sanitze itimer timeval from userspace
According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an
errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form.
This check was never done in Linux.

The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently.  Negative timeouts
were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout.

hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form.
Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the
optimized ktime_add/sub operations.  Negative timeouts are treated as
already expired.  This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16.

To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and
invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did.

Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel
messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected.

After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a
correct validation check.  This is also documented in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers
(sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.

fa675765af Revert mount/umount uevent removal
This change reverts the 033b96fd30 commit
from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
new device has been mounted.  These events are not correctly emitted,
and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
future program.  Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
properly detect this kind of event.

A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
interface will be removed from the kernel.

c5e3fbf22c [PATCH] hwmon: Fix reboot on it87 driver load
Only scan I2C address 0x2d. This is the default address and no IT87xxF
chip was ever seen on I2C at a different address. These chips are
better accessed through their ISA interface anyway.

This fixes bug #5889, although it doesn't address the whole class
of problems. We'd need the ability to blacklist arbitrary I2C addresses
on systems known to contain I2C devices which behave badly when probed.

Plan the I2C interface for removal as well. If nobody complains within
a year, it will confirm my impression that the I2C interface isn't
actually needed by anyone.

49705b7743 [PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototype
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents.  Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down.  For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation.  All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it.  All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.

At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage.  Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

See below for a patch that puts the exports back, along with an updated
