Eric W. Biederman 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.

Andi Kleen 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.

Nick Piggin 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.

Nick Piggin 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.

Randy Dunlap 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.

Stefan Richter 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.

Andy Whitcroft 0a920b5b66 add a trivial patch style checker
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

Tejun Heo d9aca22cf4 libata: remove libata.spindown_compat
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.

Tejun Heo 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).

Define the deprecated flags as a call to a __deprecated inline function
so a warning is emitted on compile time.

mca_53c9x which hasn't gotten any non-trivial update since it was
