Generally invoked by accident today. Seen as doing more harm than good. Who: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> + +---------------------------- + +What: video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support +When: 2.6.35 +Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c + include/linux/videotext.h +Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes + for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support. + Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249 + has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware + that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically + supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked. + + In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there + are no applications actually implementing this API. + + The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really + like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely + event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality + provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build + around the sliced VBI API instead. +Who: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt b/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt index a4f30faa4f1..1e359b62c40 100644 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt @@ -316,7 +316,7 @@ address perms offset dev inode pathname 08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00001000 03:00 8312 /opt/test 0804a000-0806b000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] a7cb1000-a7cb2000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 -a7cb2000-a7eb2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [threadstack:001ff4b4] +a7cb2000-a7eb2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a7eb2000-a7eb3000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7eb3000-a7ed5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a7ed5000-a8008000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 @@ -352,7 +352,6 @@ is not associated with a file: [stack] = the stack of the main process [vdso] = the "virtual dynamic shared object", the kernel system call handler - [threadstack:xxxxxxxx] = the stack of the thread, xxxxxxxx is the stack size or if empty, the mapping is anonymous. |
