From 2fb10732c3b3c9671b1a391996ce7e551876c25e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:32:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: Warn about all uses of sys_sysctl. Now that the glibc pthread implemenation no longers uses sysctl() users of sysctl are as rare as hen's teeth. So remove the glibc exception from the warning, and use the standard printk_ratelimit instead of rolling our own. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
