Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.initrd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs ...
Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner:
"Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead
code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series
completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert.
The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.
The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
root device back to the kernel.
The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.
Initramfs is entirely unaffected. The non-linuxrc initrd path
(root=/dev/ram0) is preserved but now carries a deprecation warning
targeting January 2027 removal"
