wanrouter: delete now orphaned header content, files/drivers

2013-02-01T00:56:35Z

The wanrouter support was identified earlier as unused for years, and so the previous commit totally decoupled it from the kernel, leaving the related wanrouter files present, but totally inert. Here we take the final step in that cleanup, by doing a wholesale removal of these files. The two step process is used so that the large deletion is decoupled from the git history of files that we still care about. The drivers deleted here all were dependent on the Kconfig setting CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS. A stub wanrouter.h header (kernel & uapi) are left behind so that drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_x25iface.c continues to compile, and so that we don't accidentally break userspace that expected these defines.

wanrouter: completely decouple obsolete code from kernel.

2013-02-01T00:20:33Z

The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bcc5de8a17af5f2274f7fcde8292b5fc ("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012. More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit 7be6065b39c3 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail report of breakage for at least 4 years. This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver deletion commit tied into their history. Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY

2013-01-19T00:15:27Z

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long. add/remove: 0/226 grow/shrink: 2/14 up/down: 6/-35356 (-35350) function old new delta chr_dev_init 166 170 +4 allow_signal 80 82 +2 static.__warned 143 142 -1 disallow_signal 63 62 -1 __set_special_pids 95 94 -1 unregister_console 126 121 -5 start_kernel 546 541 -5 register_console 593 588 -5 copy_from_user 45 40 -5 sys_setsid 128 120 -8 sys_vhangup 32 19 -13 do_exit 1543 1526 -17 bitmap_zero 60 40 -20 arch_local_irq_save 137 117 -20 release_task 674 652 -22 static.spin_unlock_irqrestore 308 260 -48 Signed-off-by: Joe Millenbach Reviewed-by: Jamey Sharp Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
