2005-11-18Remove amdtp, cmp drivers.Jody McIntyre
Remove the Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol driver and the Connection Management Procedures driver. These are incomplete, have never worked, and are better implemented in userland via raw1394 (see http://freebob.sourceforge.net/ for example.)

2005-11-17[MIPS] feature-removal-schedule.txt: Schedule au1x00_uart for removal.Ralf Baechle
The 8250 serial driver now has the ability to deal with the differences between the standard 8250 family of UARTs and their slightly strange brother on Alchemy SOCs. The loss of features is not considered an issue. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2005-11-15[PATCH] md: mark START_ARRAY deprecated with a dateNeilBrown
This was marked deprecated "after 2.6" back in the 2.5 days. But now it seems there isn't going to be any "after 2.6", and we deprecate by date now. So set a date.

2005-11-09[PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototypeChristoph Hellwig
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem. At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

2005-09-10[PATCH] remove ACPI S4bios supportPavel Machek
Remove S4BIOS support. It is pretty useless, and only ever worked for _me_ once. (I do not think anyone else ever tried it). It was in feature-removal for a long time, and it should have been removed before.

2005-07-16[PATCH] Serial: Move deprecation of register_serial forward to SeptemberRussell King

2005-07-07[PATCH] pcmcia: deprecate ioctlDominik Brodowski
Schedule removal of the PCMCIA ioctl (and thus kernel support for the pcmcia-cs userspace package) for November 2005. A big "thank you" to Dave Hinds for his great work on supporting PCMCIA in Linux. Things are just done differently by now, so the ongoing work to make PCMCIA behave like any other hotpluggable bus should continue.

2005-05-01[PATCH] kernel/rcupdate.c: make the exports EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPLPaul E. McKenney
The gpl exports need to be put back. Moving them to GPL -- but in a measured manner, as I proposed on this list some months ago -- is fine. Changing these particular exports precipitously is most definitely -not- fine. Here is my earlier proposal: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110520930301813&w=2 See below for a patch that puts the exports back, along with an updated version of my earlier patch that starts the process of moving them to GPL. I will also be following this message with RFC patches that introduce two (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) interfaces to replace synchronize_kernel(), which then becomes deprecated.

2005-04-16[PATCH] officially deprecate register_ioctl32_conversionChristoph Hellwig
These have been deprecated since ->compat_ioctl when in, thus only a short deprecation period. There's four users left: i2o_config, s390/z90crypy, s390/dasd and s390/zfcp and for the first two patches are about to be submitted to get rid of it.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
