  • We want to phase out the GPIO "autorequest" mechanism in gpiolib and
    require all callers to use gpio_request().

    - Update feature-removal-schedule
    - Update the documentation now
    - Convert the relevant pr_warning() in gpiolib to a WARN()
    so folk using this mechanism get a noisy stack dump

    Some drivers and board init code will probably need to change.
    Implementations not using gpiolib will still be fine; they are already
    required to implement gpio_{request,free}() stubs.

  • Allow non root users with sufficient mlock rlimits to be able to allocate
    hugetlb backed shm for now. Deprecate this though. This is being
    deprecated because the mlock based rlimit checks for SHM_HUGETLB is not
    consistent with mmap based huge page allocations.

    that were still using the V4L1 obsoleted header.

  • This removal was scheduled and there is no problem with later
    distros to adapt for the new bus, thanks to aliases.

    module-init-tools map files are deprecated nowadays, so that
    the patch which introduced hid ones into the m-i-t won't be
    accepted and hence there is no reason for leaving compat stuff in.

  • The SELinux "compat_net" is marked as deprecated, the time has come to
    finally remove it from the kernel. Further code simplifications are
    likely in the future, but this patch was intended to be a simple,
    straight-up removal of the compat_net code.

  • It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not
    recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities
    for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using
    this though.

    Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace
    automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy
    the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg
    code to help these users migrate.

    Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their
    ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled
    system will world roam.

    This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module
    parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and
    users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

    as well as bus-level rescan, there's no functional need to keep fakephp

    in three years.

  • The scheduled date for the removal of old fw support was in July 2008.
    However, we're not going to remove the support unless it causes a major
    headache. So change the schedule from "July 2008" to "when it causes headaches".

  • This patch is the first step towards removing the old "compat_net" code from
    the kernel. Secmark, the "compat_net" replacement was first introduced in
    2.6.18 (September 2006) and the major Linux distributions with SELinux support
    have transitioned to Secmark so it is time to start deprecating the "compat_net"
    mechanism. Testing a patched version of 2.6.28-rc6 with the initial release of
    Fedora Core 5 did not show any problems when running in enforcing mode.

    This patch adds an entry to the feature-removal-schedule.txt file and removes
    the SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT configuration option, forcing
    Secmark on by default although it can still be disabled at runtime. The patch
    also makes the Secmark permission checks "dynamic" in the sense that they are
    only executed when Secmark is configured; this should help prevent problems
    with older distributions that have not yet migrated to Secmark.

  • Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks
    atomic.

    This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). I
    marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for
    removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated.

    parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs
    to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power). This
    patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix
    dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
    to get meaningful initcall_debug output.

  • This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
    main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
    code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
    and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:

    * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
    * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
    * all rules were built statically in the kernel

    We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
    and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
    through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
    without updating the kernel.

    Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
    based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
    respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
    regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
    regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
    further help compliance.

    Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
    this.

    For more information see:

    http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA

    For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
    ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
    (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
    These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
    scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
    you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
    If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
    use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
    domain for us.
