<content type='text'>
Now /proc/sys is described in many places and much information is
redundant.  This patch updates the proc.txt and move the /proc/sys
desciption out to the files in Documentation/sysctls.

Details are:

merge
-  2.1  /proc/sys/fs - File system data
-  2.11 /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
-  2.17 /proc/sys/fs/epoll - Configuration options for the epoll interface
with Documentation/sysctls/fs.txt.

remove
-  2.2  /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc - Miscellaneous binary formats
since it's not better then the Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt.

merge
-  2.3  /proc/sys/kernel - general kernel parameters
with Documentation/sysctls/kernel.txt

remove
-  2.5  /proc/sys/dev - Device specific parameters
since it's obsolete the sysfs is used now.

remove
-  2.6  /proc/sys/sunrpc - Remote procedure calls
since it's not better then the Documentation/sysctls/sunrpc.txt

move
-  2.7  /proc/sys/net - Networking stuff
-  2.9  Appletalk
-  2.10 IPX
to newly created Documentation/sysctls/net.txt.

remove
-  2.8  /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
since it's not better then the Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt.

add
- Chapter 3 Per-Process Parameters
to descibe /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/xxx parameters.

Implement a sysctl file that disables module-loading system-wide since
there is no longer a viable way to remove CAP_SYS_MODULE after the system
bounding capability set was removed in 2.6.25.

Value can only be set to "1", and is tested only if standard capability
checks allow CAP_SYS_MODULE.  Given existing /dev/mem protections, this
should allow administrators a one-way method to block module loading
after initial boot-time module loading has finished.

<title>Staging: add TAINT_CRAP for all drivers/staging code</title>

<id>061b1bd394ca8628b7c24eb4658ba3535da4249a</id>
<content type='text'>
We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/
directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about
issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good
as they are normally used to.

Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a
TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell
enterprise kernel release.

This is the kernel portion of this feature, the ability for the flag to
be set needs to be done in the build process and will happen in a
follow-up patch.

Control the trigger limit for softlockup warnings.  This is useful for
debugging softlockups, by lowering the softlockup_thresh to identify
possible softlockups earlier.

This patch:
1. Adds a sysctl softlockup_thresh with valid values of 1-60s
   (Higher value to disable false positives)
2. Changes the softlockup printk to print the cpu softlockup time
