lib/crc: remove unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC_CCITT

2025-04-04T18:31:42+00:00

All modules that need CONFIG_CRC_CCITT already select it, so there is no need to bother users about the option. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: "Martin K.

arch//configs/defconfig: Replace AUTOFS4_FS by AUTOFS_FS

2023-07-29T21:08:22+00:00

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/configs: Update config files for removed/renamed symbols

2022-09-30T08:35:52+00:00

Clean up config files by: - removing configs that were deleted in the past - removing configs not in tree and without recently pending patches - adding new configs that are replacements for old configs in the file For some detailed information, see: https://lore.kernel.org/kernel-janitors/20220929090645.1389-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com/ Renamed: - CONFIG_PPC_PTDUMP -> CONFIG_GENERIC_PTDUMP e084728393a5 ("powerpc/ptdump: Convert powerpc to GENERIC_PTDUMP") Removed: - CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP 47e9624616c8 ("block: remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer") - CONFIG_CRYPTO_RMD128 b21b9a5e0aef ("crypto: rmd128 - remove RIPE-MD 128 hash algorithm") - CONFIG_CRYPTO_RMD256 c15d4167f0b0 ("crypto: rmd256 - remove RIPE-MD 256 hash algorithm") - CONFIG_CRYPTO_RMD320 93f64202926f ("crypto: rmd320 - remove RIPE-MD 320 hash algorithm") - CONFIG_CRYPTO_SALSA20 663f63ee6d9c ("crypto: salsa20 - remove Salsa20 stream cipher algorithm") - CONFIG_CRYPTO_TGR192 87cd723f8978 ("crypto: tgr192 - remove Tiger 128/160/192 hash algorithms") - CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN 1109a5d90701 ("usercopy: Remove HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN") - CONFIG_RAPIDIO_TSI568, CONFIG_RAPIDIO_TSI57X 612d4904191f ("rapidio: remove not used code about RIO_VID_TUNDRA") - CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER 603e4922f1c8 ("remove the raw driver") - CONFIG_ROCKETPORT 3b00b6af7a5b ("tty: rocket, remove the driver") - CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK 196793946264 ("Compiler Attributes: remove CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK") Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn [mpe: Add documentation of relevant commit for each symbol change] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220929101502.32527-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com

powerpc/64s: Default to 64K pages for 64 bit book3s

2021-10-27T11:31:22+00:00

For 64-bit book3s the default should be 64K as that's what modern CPUs are designed for. The following defconfigs already set CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES: cell_defconfig pasemi_defconfig powernv_defconfig ppc64_defconfig pseries_defconfig skiroot_defconfig The have the option removed from the defconfig, as it is now the default.

arch: powerpc: Stop building and using oprofile

2021-01-29T04:35:51+00:00

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. 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 lines). Note that the member "oprofile_cpu_type" in "struct cpu_spec" isn't removed as it was also used by other parts of the code.

vgacon: remove software scrollback support

2020-09-14T17:06:15+00:00

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.

scsi: sr: remove references to BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR, leave it enabled

2020-02-24T19:59:01+00:00

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 this already.

powerpc/configs: Remove useless UEVENT_HELPER_PATH

2019-07-03T05:19:36+00:00

Remove the CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH because: 1. It is disabled since commit 1be01d4a5714 ("driver: base: Disable CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER by default") as its dependency (UEVENT_HELPER) was made default to 'n', 2. It is not recommended (help message: "This should not be used today [...] creates a high system load") and was kept only for ancient userland, 3. Certain userland specifically requests it to be disabled (systemd README: "Legacy hotplug slows down the system and confuses udev").
