<title>crypto: pcbc - Remove support for PCBC mode</title>

The only user of PCBC mode (Propagating Cipher Block Chaining mode) was
net/rxrpc/rxkad.c, which now uses local code instead.

While PCBC was an interesting cryptographic experiment, it has largely
been relegated to the history books and academic exercises.  It is
non-parallelizable (i.e., very slow) and doesn't actually achieve the
integrity properties it was apparently intended to achieve.

Remove support for it from the crypto API.

Remove ansi_cprng, since it's obsolete and unused, as confirmed at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aQxpnckYMgAAOLpZ@gondor.apana.org.au/

This was originally added in 2008, apparently as a FIPS approved random
number generator.  Whether this has ever belonged upstream is
questionable.  Either way, ansi_cprng is no longer usable for this
purpose, since it's been superseded by the more modern algorithms in
crypto/drbg.c, and FIPS itself no longer allows it.  (NIST SP 800-131A
Rev 1 (2015) says that RNGs based on ANSI X9.31 will be disallowed after
2015.  NIST SP 800-131A Rev 2 (2019) confirms they are now disallowed.)

Therefore, there is no reason to keep it around.

<title>Remove long-stale ext3 defconfig option</title>

<content type='text'>
Inspired by commit c065b6046b34 ("Use CONFIG_EXT4_FS instead of
CONFIG_EXT3_FS in all of the defconfigs") I looked around for any other
left-over EXT3 config options, and found some old defconfig files still
mentioned CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED.

That config option was removed a decade ago in commit c290ea01abb7 ("fs:
Remove ext3 filesystem driver").  It had a good run, but let's remove it
for good.

Commit d6ace46c82fd ("ext4: remove obsolete EXT3 config options")
removed the obsolete EXT3_CONFIG options, since it had been over a
decade since fs/ext3 had been removed.  Unfortunately, there were a
number of defconfigs that still used CONFIG_EXT3_FS which the cleanup
commit didn't fix up.  This led to a large number of defconfig test
builds to fail.  Oops.

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.

In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is now implicitly selected if one picks one of the
explicit options that could be DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT,
DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4, DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5.

This was actually not what I had in mind when I suggested making it a
'choice' statement, but it's too late to change again now, and the Kconfig
logic is more sensible in the new form.

Change any defconfig file that had CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled but did not
pick DWARF4 or DWARF5 explicitly to now pick the toolchain default.

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

Remove the old oprofile's architecture specific support.

Since commit 61a47c1ad3a4dc ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"),
sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error.

We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years
and believe there are no more users.  Even if there are users of this
interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they
probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any
longer.

So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.
