......@@ -15,20 +15,3 @@ Why: It has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
Who: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
---------------------------
What: /proc/sys/cpu/*, sysctl and /proc/cpufreq interfaces to cpufreq (2.4.x interfaces)
When: January 2005
Files: drivers/cpufreq/: cpufreq_userspace.c, proc_intf.c
Why: /proc/sys/cpu/* has been deprecated since inclusion of cpufreq into
the main kernel tree. It bloats /proc/ unnecessarily and doesn't work
well with the "governor"-based design of cpufreq.
/proc/cpufreq/* has also been deprecated for a long time and was only
meant for usage during 2.5. until the new sysfs-based interface became
ready. It has an inconsistent interface which doesn't work well with
userspace setting the frequency. The output from /proc/cpufreq/* can
be emulated using "cpufreq-info --proc" (cpufrequtils).
Both interfaces are superseded by the cpufreq interface in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu%n/cpufreq/.
