2011-07-07[media] feature-removal-schedule: change in how radio device nodes are handledHans Verkuil
Radio devices have weird side-effects when used with combined TV/radio tuners and the V4L2 spec is ambiguous on how it should work. This results in inconsistent driver behavior which makes life hard for everyone. Be more strict in when and how the switch between radio and tv mode takes place and make sure all drivers behave the same.

2011-05-29x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline paramLen Brown
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle(). Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param to simplify the x86 idle code. After this change, kernels configured with (!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be used. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-05-29x86 idle: deprecate "no-hlt" cmdline paramLen Brown
We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had marginal electricals 15-years ago. If those machines are still running the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll". The only difference will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt(). cc: x86@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-05-29x86 idle APM: deprecate CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLELen Brown
We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules. Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to. CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old. It calls into the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines to fail. Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting pm_idle. Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS at run-time will simply use HLT instead. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Plan to remove floppy_disable_hlt in 2012, an ancient workaround with comments that it should be removed. This allows us to remove clutter and a run-time branch from the idle code.

2011-03-21[media] v4l: removal of old, obsolete ioctlsHans Verkuil
Some ioctl's were defined wrong on 2.6.2 and 2.6.6, using the wrong type of R/W arguments. They were fixed, but the old ioctl names are still there, maintained to avoid breaking binary compatibility: There's no sense on preserving those forever, as it is very doubtful that someone would try to use a such old binary with a modern kernel. Removing them will allow us to remove some magic done at the V4L ioctl handler. Note that any application compiled with a videodev2.h from 2.6.7 or later will be using the correct ioctls.

noswapaccount couldn't be used to control memsw for both on/off cases so we have added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter. This way we can turn the feature in two ways noswapaccount resp. swapaccount=0. We have kept the original noswapaccount but I think we should remove it after some time as it just makes more command line parameters without any advantages and also the code to handle parameters is uglier if we want both parameters.

sysfs I/F for ACPI power devices, including AC and Battery, has been working in upstream kenrel since 2.6.24, Sep 2007. In 2.6.37, we made the sysfs I/F always built in and this option disabled by default. Now, we plan to remove this option and the ACPI power procfs interface in 2.6.39. First, update the feature-removal-schedule to announce this change. Second, add runtime warnings in ACPI AC/Battery/SBS driver, so that users will notice this change even if "make oldconfig" is used.

2010-12-29[media] feature_removal_schedule.txt: mark VIDIOC_*_OLD ioctls to dieMauro Carvalho Chehab
There are some old broken definitions of ioctl's, where the read/write arguments were marked wrong. The last one were added on 2.6.6 kernel. Remove them, in order to cleanup some copy_from_user/copy_to_user logic done inside V4L core. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2010-12-29[media] V4L1 removal: Remove linux/videodev.hMauro Carvalho Chehab
There's no sense on keeping it on 2.6.38, as nobody is using it anymore, at the kernel tree, and installing it at the userspace API. As two deprecated drivers still need it, move it to their internal directories. Reviewed-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2010-12-29[media] feature-removal: update V4L1 removal statusHans Verkuil
While the V4L1 compatibility module has been removed, we still have two V4L1 drivers that prevent full V4L1 removal. Those drivers have been moved to staging and will be removed in 2.6.39, together with the last V4L1 support.

2010-12-15workqueue: deprecate cancel_rearming_delayed_work[queue]()Tejun Heo
There's no in-kernel user left for these two obsolete functions. Mark them deprecated and schedule for removal during 2.6.39 cycle. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-11-15i2c: Mark i2c_adapter.id as deprecatedJean Delvare
It's about time to make it clear that i2c_adapter.id is deprecated. Hopefully this will remind the last user to move over to a different strategy.

2010-10-27cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecatedDaniel Lezcano
The ns_cgroup will be removed very soon. Let's warn, for this version, ns_cgroup is deprecated. Make ns_cgroup and clone_children exclusive. If the clone_children is set and the ns_cgroup is mounted, let's fail with EINVAL when the ns_cgroup subsys is created (a printk will help the user to understand why the creation fails). Update the feature remove schedule file with the deprecated ns_cgroup.
