[PATCH] arm: remove support for old way to pass kernel parameters

Uwe Kleine-König u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de
Tue Jan 19 03:43:43 EST 2010


This was deprecated in 2001 and announced to live on for 5 years.

squash_mem_tags is the only function defined in compat.c that is still
needed.  As setup.c is the only user move it into there and make is
static.  This allows removing compat.c.

The result is:

	add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 32/-476 (-444)
	function                                     old     new   delta
	setup_arch                                  1584    1612     +28
	cpu_init                                     108     112      +4
	squash_mem_tags                               64       -     -64
	convert_to_tag_list                          412       -    -412

(The change in cpu_init isn't really related.  There a

	mov     r1, #332

changed into

	ldr     r1, [pc, #56]

and so the size of the local pool is increased by one word.)
