Subject: [PATCH v3 10/24] binfmt_misc: remove the VERBOSE_STATUS toggle
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:33:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-10-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-0-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org>
VERBOSE_STATUS is a compile-time constant that has been fixed to 1
for as long as git history reaches. Turning it off requires editing
the source and yields entry files that only ever report
"enabled"/"disabled", a format nothing has ever seen in the wild.
Remove the pretend knob and the dead branch it guards.
