Subject: 2.6.18-rc4-mm1 + hotfix -- Many processes use the sysctl system call
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 15:41:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a44ae5cd0608171541tf2f125dl586f56da6f1b2a41@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

My installation of Ubuntu is having trouble with my kernel build
because I disabled support for sysctl:

warning: process `ls' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `touch' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `touch' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `evms_activate' used the removed sysctl system call
warning: process `alsactl' used the removed sysctl system call

I am curious whether the use of sysctl indicates a problem in these
processes.  What is the benefit of offering disabling sysctl support?

Thanks,
        Miles
