@ -529,3 +529,13 @@ When: 3.5
Why: The old kmap_atomic() with two arguments is deprecated, we only
keep it for backward compatibility for few cycles and then drop it.
Who: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com>
----------------------------
What: get_robust_list syscall
When: 2013
Why: There appear to be no production users of the get_robust_list syscall,
and it runs the risk of leaking address locations, allowing the bypass
of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be
removed.
