Once upon a time a bunch of serial drivers used to provide that; today it's only amiserial and it's FUBAR - the structure being copied to userland includes kernel pointers, fields with config-dependent size, etc. No userland code using it could possibly survive - e.g. enabling lockdep definitely changes the layout. Besides, it's a massive infoleak. Kill it. If somebody needs that data for debugging purposes, they can bloody well expose it saner ways. Assuming anyone does debugging of amiserial in the first place, that is. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
