This patch removes the __init modifier from an extern function declaration in acpi.h. Besides not being strictly needed, it requires the inclusion of linux/init.h, which is usually not even included directly, increasing header mess by a lot. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> --- include/asm-x86/acpi.h | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

Peter, here is v2 with some improved patch descriptions and some fixes. The previous version has survived one day of linux-next and I only changed small parts. So unless there is some other issue, feel free to pull (or to apply the patches) to tip/locking. The following changes since commit 07d9a380680d1c0eb51ef87ff2eab5c994949e69: Linux 4.9-rc2 (2016-10-23 17:10:14 -0700) are available in

This patch series makes it possible to compile out the userspace IO system calls, iopl and ioperm. The first patch does some 32/64 unification in copy_thread to make subsequent changes easier. The second patch simplifies the complex calculation of the TSS segment limit, which also makes it easier to change in the last patch. Patches 3-9 introduce helpers to make it easier to compile out IO.

This patch series makes it possible to compile out the iopl and ioperm system calls, which allow privileged processes to request permission to directly poke I/O ports from userspace. Nothing on a modern Linux system uses these calls anymore, and anything new should be using /dev/port instead, or better yet writing a driver. Copying the bloat-o-meter stats from the final patch: 32-bit
