Merged into -mm or not, modular /proc/config.gz remains an utterly redundant kernel feature that user-space doesn't need. User-space knows how to locate modules for the running kernel, including the module implementing /proc/config.gz; therefore it can replace the module file with the corresponding config data, without loss of functionality. All that's needed is to standardise the location of the config file; /lib/modules/`uname -r`/config.gz seems a reasonable choice. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
