-What: x86 floppy disable_hlt
-When: 2012
-Why: ancient workaround of dubious utility clutters the
- code used by everybody else.
-Who: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
-
----------------------------
-
What: CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE, and its ability to call APM BIOS in idle
When: 2012
Why: This optional sub-feature of APM is of dubious reliability,
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.
+Who: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
+
+----------------------------
+
+What: setitimer accepts user NULL pointer (value)
+When: 3.6
+Why: setitimer is not returning -EFAULT if user pointer is NULL. This
+ violates the spec.
