What: devfs
Date: July 2005 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.18
Contact: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Description:
devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed,
along with the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
kernel tree.

Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few
ioctl()s allowed limited control.
This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.

/dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level

to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level

When the nfit driver initializes it runs an ARS (Address Range

involves determining the ARS capabilities of a given address
range. One of the capabilities that is reported is the 'Clear

Original description:
The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared

Tolerance level. When a machine check exception occurs for a
non corrected machine check the kernel can take different
actions.
Since machine check exceptions can happen any time it is
sometimes risky for the kernel to kill a process because it
defies normal kernel locking rules. The tolerance level
configures how hard the kernel tries to recover even at some
risk of deadlock. Higher tolerant values trade potentially
better uptime with the risk of a crash or even corruption
(for tolerant >= 3).
== ===========================================================
0 always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
1 panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
2 SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
3 never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
== ===========================================================
Default: 1
Note this only makes a difference if the CPU allows recovery
from a machine check exception. Current x86 CPUs generally
do not.

What: /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot

KernelVersion: 2.6.12-rc2 (predates git)
Contact: selinux@vger.kernel.org
Description:
REMOVAL UPDATE: The SELinux checkreqprot functionality was removed in
March 2023, the original deprecation notice is shown below.
The selinuxfs "checkreqprot" node allows SELinux to be configured
to check the protection requested by userspace for mmap/mprotect
calls instead of the actual protection applied by the kernel.
This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and
for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to
1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable
without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot
at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the
actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been
explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during
initialization for some time. Support for setting checkreqprot to 1
will be removed no sooner than June 2021, at which point the kernel
will always cease using checkreqprot internally and will always
check the actual protections being applied upon mmap/mprotect calls.
The checkreqprot selinuxfs node will remain for backward compatibility
but will discard writes of the "0" value and will reject writes of the
"1" value when this mechanism is removed.

Contact: selinux@vger.kernel.org
Description:
REMOVAL UPDATE: The SELinux runtime disable functionality was removed
in March 2023, the original deprecation notice is shown below.
The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime
prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If disabled via this
mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until the system is rebooted.
The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0" boot
parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to make it
easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not allow for
easy modification of the kernel command line. Unfortunately, allowing
for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes it difficult to secure the
kernel's LSM hooks using the "__ro_after_init" feature.
Thankfully, the need for the SELinux runtime disable appears to be
gone, the default Kconfig configuration disables this selinuxfs node,
and only one of the major distributions, Fedora, supports disabling
SELinux at runtime. Fedora is in the process of removing the
selinuxfs "disable" node and once that is complete we will start the
slow process of removing this code from the kernel.
