Now /proc/sys is described in many places and much information is
redundant. This patch updates the proc.txt and move the /proc/sys
desciption out to the files in Documentation/sysctls.
Details are:
merge
- 2.1 /proc/sys/fs - File system data
- 2.11 /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
- 2.17 /proc/sys/fs/epoll - Configuration options for the epoll interface
with Documentation/sysctls/fs.txt.
remove
- 2.2 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc - Miscellaneous binary formats
since it's not better then the Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt.
merge
- 2.3 /proc/sys/kernel - general kernel parameters
with Documentation/sysctls/kernel.txt
remove
- 2.5 /proc/sys/dev - Device specific parameters
since it's obsolete the sysfs is used now.
remove
- 2.6 /proc/sys/sunrpc - Remote procedure calls
since it's not better then the Documentation/sysctls/sunrpc.txt
move
- 2.7 /proc/sys/net - Networking stuff
- 2.9 Appletalk
- 2.10 IPX
to newly created Documentation/sysctls/net.txt.
remove
- 2.8 /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
since it's not better then the Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt.
add
- Chapter 3 Per-Process Parameters
to descibe /proc/<pid>/xxx parameters.
