powerpc/configs: Remove ReiserFS from defconfig

ReiserFS has been deprecated for a year and a half, yet is still built
as part of a defconfig kernel.

According to commit eb103a51640e ("reiserfs: Deprecate reiserfs"), the
filesystem is slated to be removed in 2025. Remove it from the defconfig
profiles now, as part of its deprecation process.

arch/*/configs/*defconfig: Replace AUTOFS4_FS by AUTOFS_FS

Commit a2225d931f75 ("autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs")
promised the removal of the fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS
within a couple of releases, but five years later this still has not
happened yet, and AUTOFS4_FS is still enabled in 63 defconfigs.

Get rid of it mechanically:

git grep -l CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS -- '*defconfig' |
xargs sed -i 's/AUTOFS4_FS/AUTOFS_FS/'

Also just remove the AUTOFS4_FS config option stub. Anybody who hasn't
regenerated their config file in the last five years will need to just
get the new name right when they do.

powerpc: drop PowerQUICC II Family ADS platform support

Based on documentation revision dates, this MPC82xx pq2fads system
predates the MPC8272-ADS variant by about a year and only has 1/2
the amount of RAM (32MB) -- largely making it useless with a modern
v6.x kernel from today.

Similar to the MPC8272-ADS the pq2fads also supported other 82xx CPU
variants, had 8MB flash, and like the 8272 ADS platform, was on a fairly
large PCB in order to have space for breakout connectors for all features.

These 82xx platforms are two decades old, and originally made for a
small group of industry related people in order to assist in new OEM
board designs. Given that, it makes sense to remove support today.

powerpc: drop HPCD/MPC8610 evaluation platform support

This evaluation platform was essentially a single core 8641 with
integrated graphics/display support - in an effort to reduce chip count
on kiosk and similar applications.

Compared to other evaluation platforms considered for removal in other
recent commits, this platform was relatively rare. Unlike all the other
10+ platforms, I couldn't find any documentation on it - just a link to
downloading the 2007 era BSP in "LTIB" format as was done back then.

With all that in mind, it seems prudent to remove it here in 2023.

powerpc: drop HPC-NET/MPC8641D evaluation platform support

There is no denying that this was an interesting platform in its day.
Access to a SMP powerpc platform became a bit more obtainable for folks
in the BSP industry in the 2007 era, thanks to this platform.

Add to that the move to the black Antec case vs. the generic white 2005
era case of the MPC8548CDS or the retro 1950s 1/2 height horizontal case
of the HPC II, and it was pretty interesting to people like myself then.

However, like all the other evaluation platforms, the overall system
was complex out of necessity, as it tried to showcase all possible
features and use-cases. That included an AMP option, where you could run
two bootloaders and two kernels over two serial consoles. Peripheral
sharing got a bit more tricky when you got to the hard disk and similar.

In any case we still have the same circumstance. A relatively rare and
expensive evaluation platform that is now 15+ years old and not out there
in large numbers in the general public. Removal in 2023 just makes sense.

powerpc: drop MPC832x_MDS platform support

This final variant in the e300 family of Modular Development System
(MDS) in this series was actually aimed at feature reduction - things
like floating point and ethernet were removed in order to make for a
lower power and lower cost system.

Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out
early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place
in parallel.

These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given
to partners who were planning to make their own boards.

Given that the whole reason for existence was to assist in enabling new
board designs [not happening for 10+ years], and that they weren't
generally available, and that the hardware wasn't really hobbyist friendly
even for retro computing, it makes sense to retire the support for this
particular platform.

powerpc: drop MPC837x_MDS platform support

This next evolutionary step in the e300 family of Modular Development
System (MDS) still has, at its core component, a full length card with a
PCI edge. No case. Serial and network connectors were on card, so it
could optionally be fitted with plastic stand-offs and run stand-alone
off a power brick.

This is very similar to the MPC834x_MDS and MPC836x_MDS removed in the
prior commits, but with this board variant as yet another evolutionary
step. SATA and PCI-e were now available. But overall the form factor
and design goals were unchanged.

powerpc: drop MPC836x_MDS platform support

This 2006 era Modular Development System (MDS) has, at its core component,
a full length card with a PCI edge. No case. Serial and network
connectors were on card, so it could optionally be fitted with plastic
stand-offs and run stand-alone off a power brick.

This is very similar to the MPC834x_MDS removed in the prior commit, but
with this board variant as an evolutionary step. DDR2 was now an option,
and the card edge was revised down to PCI-32 as PCI-64 never got traction.
But overall the form factor and design goals were unchanged.

Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out
early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place
in parallel.

To that end, the BGA CPU was held in place with a mechanical spring loaded
pressure assembly (vs. solder) so that early rev silicon could be replaced
in the field. Not for COTS deployment!

These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given
to partners who were planning to make their own boards.

usb: ftdi-elan: Delete driver

This driver didn't see real maintainance since several years. It has
several trivial issues (check $(scripts/checkpatch.pl -f
drivers/usb/misc/ftdi-elan.c)) and some harder ones (difficult locking,
explict kref handling, ...). Also today it's hard to find hardware to

usb: host: u132-hcd: Delete driver

This driver got its last actual change in 2006 and is probably unused as
nowbody should use a cardbus to USB adapter any more.

If it were still used, the driver was in urgent need for maintainer
love. (Explicit kref handling, underdocumented locking, .remove() can
return errors ...)

Also the link in the (now removed) help text doesn't look actively
maintained. According to archive.org it forwarded to

So don't waste more time on this driver and just delete it.

we may reintroduce the header (or its parts).

Remove DECnet support from kernel

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

powerpc: retire sbc8641d board support

The support was for this was added to mainline over 12 years ago, in
v2.6.26 [4e8aae89a35d] just around the ppc --> powerpc migration.

I believe the board was introduced shortly after the sbc8548 board,
making it roughly a 14 year old platform - with the CPU speed and
memory size typical for that era.

I haven't had one of these boards for several years, and availability
was discontinued several years before that.

Given that, there is no point in adding a burden to testing coverage
that builds all possible defconfigs, so it makes sense to remove it.

Of course it will remain in the git history forever, for anyone who
happens to find a functional board and wants to tinker with it.

tty: remove broken r3964 line discipline

Noone stepped up in the past two years since it was marked as BROKEN by
commit c7084edc3f6d (tty: mark Siemens R3964 line discipline as BROKEN).
Remove the line discipline for good.

Three remarks:
* we remove also the uapi header (as noone is able to use that interface
anyway)
* we do *not* remove the N_R3964 constant definition from tty.h, so it
remains reserved.
* in_interrupt() check is now removed from vt's con_put_char. Noone else
calls tty_operations::put_char from interrupt context.

The Cyclades driver was orphaned by commit d459883e6c54 (MAINTAINERS:
remove two dead e-mail) 13 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of
them and to fix all the issues the driver has.

On the top of that, there is no way to obtain the firmware for Z cards
from the vendor as cyclades.com ceased to exist.

So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces.

arch: powerpc: Stop building and using oprofile

any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

This commits stops building oprofile for powerpc and removes any
reference to it from directories in arch/powerpc/ apart from
arch/powerpc/oprofile, which will be removed in the next commit (this is
broken into two commits as the size of the commit became very big, ~5k

Note that the member "oprofile_cpu_type" in "struct cpu_spec" isn't

Input: gtco - remove driver

The driver has its own HID descriptor parsing code, that had and still
has several issues discovered by syzbot and other tools. Ideally we
should move the driver over to the HID subsystem, so that it uses proven
parsing code. However the devices in question are EOL, and GTCO is not
willing to extend resources for that, so let's simply remove the driver.

Note that our HID support has greatly improved over the last 10 years,
we may also consider reverting 6f8d9e26e7de ("hid-core.c: Adds all GTCO
CalComp Digitizers and InterWrite School Products to blacklist") and see
if GTCO devices actually work with normal HID drivers.

vgacon: remove software scrollback support

Yunhai Zhang recently fixed a VGA software scrollback bug in commit
ebfdfeeae8c0 ("vgacon: Fix for missing check in scrollback handling"),
but that then made people look more closely at some of this code, and
there were more problems on the vgacon side, but also the fbcon software
scrollback.

We don't really have anybody who maintains this code - probably because
nobody actually _uses_ it any more. Sure, people still use both VGA and
the framebuffer consoles, but they are no longer the main user
interfaces to the kernel, and haven't been for decades, so these kinds
of extra features end up bitrotting and not really being used.

So rather than try to maintain a likely unused set of code, I'll just
aggressively remove it, and see if anybody even notices. Maybe there
are people who haven't jumped on the whole GUI badnwagon yet, and think
it's just a fad. And maybe those people use the scrollback code.

If that turns out to be the case, we can resurrect this again, once
we've found the sucker^Wmaintainer for it who actually uses it.

This kernel configuration is basically enabling/disabling sr driver quirks
detection. While these quirks are for fairly rare devices (very old CD
burners, and a glucometer), the additional detection of these models is a
very minimal amount of code.

The logic behind the quirks is always built into the sr driver.

This also removes the config from all the defconfig files that are enabling

kbuild: add CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL and loosen the dependency of samples

Commit 5318321d367c ("samples: disable CONFIG_SAMPLES for UML") used
a big hammer to fix the build errors under the samples/ directory.
Only some samples actually include uapi headers from usr/include.

Introduce CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL since 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' is
clearer than 'depends on !UML'. If this option is enabled, uapi headers
are installed before starting directory descending.

I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' to per-sample CONFIG options.
This allows UML to compile some samples.

powerpc/configs: Don't enable PPC_EARLY_DEBUG in defconfigs

This reverts the remains of commit b9ef7d6b11c1 ("powerpc: Update
default configurations").

That commit was proceeded by a commit which added a config option to
control use of BOOTX for early debug, ie. PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX, and
then the update of the defconfigs was intended to not change behaviour
by then enabling the new config option.

However enabling PPC_EARLY_DEBUG had other consequences, notably
causing us to register the udbg console at the end of udbg_early_init().

This means on a system which doesn't have anything that BOOTX can
use (most systems), we register the udbg console very early but the
bootx code just throws everything away, meaning early boot messages
are never printed to the console.

What we want to happen is for the udbg console to only be registered
later (from setup_arch()) once we've setup udbg_putc, and then all
early boot messages will be replayed.

powerpc: convert ppc6xx_defconfig to use libata PATA drivers

IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority
(if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use
libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still
some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that
have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA
drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term
for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left
in use:

* testing efforts are divided between two subsystems

* having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users

This patch converts ppc6xx_defconfig to use libata PATA
drivers.

CONFIG_KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS is no longer an option as /proc/keys is now
mandatory if the keyrings facility is enabled (it's used by libkeyutils in

The defconfig references were removed with:

and the integrity Kconfig fixed by hand.

Which begs the question why update them? The answer is that it can be

cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

* cgroup creation is out-of-control
* cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
* it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
* we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

powerpc: Restore some misc devices to our configs

Uwe Kleine-König reported:

while working on an defconfig (arm/mx27) I noticed that just updating
it[1] results in removing CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24=y. The reason is that
since commit

v2.6.36-5965-g5f2365d (misc devices: do not enable by default)

MISC_DEVICES isn't enabled anymore by default. So all defconfigs that
have CONFIG_SOME_SYMBOL=y (or =m) (with SOME_SYMBOL depending on
MISC_DEVICES) but not CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y suffer from the same
problem.

This restores those misc devices to the powerpc defconfigs.
