time: Add warning about imminent deprecation of CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD was introduced five years ago to allow a transition from the old vsyscall implementations to the new method (which simplified internal accounting and made timekeeping more precise). However, PPC and IA64 have yet to make the transition, despite in some cases me sending test patches to try to help it along. http://patches.linaro.org/patch/30501/ http://patches.linaro.org/patch/35412/ If its helpful, my last pass at the patches can be found here: https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/linux.git dev/oldvsyscall-cleanup So I think its time to set a deadline and make it clear this is going away. So this patch adds warnings about this functionality being dropped. Likely to be in v4.15.
