The patch titled
sysctl: C99 convert arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon and remove ABI breakage
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
sysctl-c99-convert-arch-ia64-kernel-perfmon-and-remove-abi-breakage.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sysctl: C99 convert arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon and remove ABI breakage
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
This convters the sysctl ctl_tables to use C99 initializers. While I was
looking at it I discovered it was using a portion of the sysctl binary
addresses space under CTL_KERN KERN_OSTYPE which was completely inappropriate.
So I completely removed all of the sysctl binary names, to remove and avoid
the ABI conflict.
