commit ff2047fb755d4415ec3c70ac799889371151796d upstream. Drop support for these ioctls: * PIO_FONT, PIO_FONTX * GIO_FONT, GIO_FONTX * PIO_FONTRESET As was demonstrated by commit 90bfdeef83f1 (tty: make FONTX ioctl use the tty pointer they were actually passed), these ioctls are not used from userspace, as: 1) they used to be broken (set up font on current console, not the open one) and racy (before the commit above) 2) KDFONTOP ioctl is used for years instead Note that PIO_FONTRESET is defunct on most systems as VGA_CONSOLE is set on them for ages. That turns on BROKEN_GRAPHICS_PROGRAMS which makes PIO_FONTRESET just return an error. We are removing KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD here as it was used only by these removed ioctls. kd.h header exists both in kernel and uapi headers, so we can remove the kernel one completely. Everyone includeing kd.h will now automatically get the uapi one. There are now unused definitions of the ioctl numbers and "struct consolefontdesc" in kd.h, but as it is a uapi header, I am not touching these.

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.
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.
