@@ -529,3 +529,13 @@ When: 3.5
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.
