Subject: sysctl: fix sysctl breakage on systems with older glibc
From: Andi Kleen <andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
As predicted during code review, the sysctl(2) changes made systems with
old glibc nearly unusable. About every command gives a:
warning: process `ls' used the deprecated sysctl s ystem call with 1.4
warning in the log.
I see this on a SUSE 10.0 system with glibc 2.3.5. Don't warn for this
common case.
