updated list of unused kernel exports posted
Hi, an updated list of currently unused-on-i386 kernel exports is now posted at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/arjan/unused based on 2.6.11-rc4-bk7. Note 1) the URL of the location has changed; the previous URL led to several vendors of binary modules to contact my employer in the hope to pressure to get certain symbols off that list. This list has nothing to do with my employer and as such I decided to move it to a more neutral URL to not cause that incorrect burden. Note 2) this list contains all unused symbols regardless of merit; it contains pure bloating symbols but also symbols for emerging new functionality not fully merged and generic library helpers. The following symbols are added to this list since the last posted list; some of these will be of the "emerging functionality" type, others will be now-redundant and should be investigated for removal; after all each exported symbol uses easily over a hundred bytes of unswappable kernel memory for every linux user out there. +++ unused.new 2005-02-19 21:27:59.556557390 +0100 +alloc_chrdev_region +attribute_container_add_attrs +attribute_container_add_class_device +attribute_container_add_class_device_adapter +attribute_container_class_device_del +attribute_container_classdev_to_container +attribute_container_device_trigger +attribute_container_remove_attrs +attribute_container_remove_device +attribute_container_trigger +backlight_device_register +backlight_device_unregister +class_device_create_bin_file +class_device_remove_bin_file +cpufreq_get +cpufreq_parse_governor +debugfs_create_bool +debugfs_create_u16 +debugfs_create_u32 +debugfs_create_u8 +device_for_each_child +fb_create_modedb +fb_get_monitor_limits +get_sb_pseudo +hugetlb_total_pages +ib_find_cached_gid +kernel_subsys +lcd_device_register +lcd_device_unregister +mt352_read +nr_free_pages +nr_pagecache +nr_swap_pages +pccard_static_ops +phys_proc_id +platform_get_irq_byname +platform_get_resource_byname +__scsi_print_sense +scsi_sense_desc_find +slab_reclaim_pages +sysctl_overcommit_memory +sysctl_overcommit_ratio +totalram_pages +total_swap_pages +try_acquire_console_sem +tveeprom_dump +usb_bus_init +vm_acct_memory +vm_committed_space +w1_search_devices +wait_for_completion_interruptible +wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout +wait_for_completion_timeout - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
