149b6fa228 mm, slob: rename CONFIG_SLOB to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED
As explained in [1], we would like to remove SLOB if possible.

- There are no known users that need its somewhat lower memory footprint
  so much that they cannot handle SLUB (after some modifications by the
  previous patches) instead.

- It is an extra maintenance burden, and a number of features are
  incompatible with it.

- It blocks the API improvement of allowing kfree() on objects allocated
  via kmem_cache_alloc().

As the first step, rename the CONFIG_SLOB option in the slab allocator
configuration choice to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED. Add CONFIG_SLOB
depending on CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED as an internal option to avoid code
churn. This will cause existing .config files and defconfigs with
CONFIG_SLOB=y to silently switch to the default (and recommended
replacement) SLUB, while still allowing SLOB to be configured by anyone
that notices and needs it. But those should contact the slab maintainers
and linux-mm@kvack.org as explained in the updated help. With no valid
objections, the plan is to update the existing defconfigs to SLUB and
remove SLOB in a few cycles.

To make SLUB more suitable replacement for SLOB, a CONFIG_SLUB_TINY
option was introduced to limit SLUB's memory overhead.
There is a number of defconfigs specifying CONFIG_SLOB=y. As part of
this patch, update them to select CONFIG_SLUB and CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

70578ff336 binfmt_flat: Remove shared library support
In a recent discussion[1] it was reported that the binfmt_flat library
support was only ever used on m68k and even on m68k has not been used
in a very long time.

The structure of binfmt_flat is different from all of the other binfmt
implementations because of this shared library support and it made
life and code review more effort when I refactored the code in fs/exec.c.

Since in practice the code is dead remove the binfmt_flat shared library
support and make maintenance of the code easier.

482cae0a9f arch: sh: Remove CONFIG_OPROFILE support
The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

Remove the old oprofile's architecture specific support.

eface6c5d1 sh: configs: Cleanup old Kconfig IO scheduler options
CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE and CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ are gone since
commit f382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers").

The IOSCHED_DEADLINE was replaced by MQ_IOSCHED_DEADLINE and it will be
now enabled by default (along with MQ_IOSCHED_KYBER).

The BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is the only multiqueue scheduler which comes with
group scheduling so select it in configs previously choosing
CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

7c04efc8d2 sh: configs: Remove useless UEVENT_HELPER_PATH
Remove the CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH because:
1. It is disabled since commit 1be01d4a5714 ("driver: base: Disable
   CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER by default") as its dependency (UEVENT_HELPER) was
   made default to 'n',
2. It is not recommended (help message: "This should not be used today
   [...] creates a high system load") and was kept only for ancient
   userland,
3. Certain userland specifically requests it to be disabled (systemd
   README: "Legacy hotplug slows down the system and confuses udev").
