[PATCH 00/14] Removing dead code

[Christian Dietrich <qy03fugy@stud.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>]

Hi all!
       
As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of Erlangen
we are looking at multiple integrity errors in linux' configuration
system.

I've been running a check on the whole sourcetree for
code block which are undead. This means they can't be deselected and
are always in the kernel if the enviroment of the block is
selected. They have often the form of

#ifdef ABC
....
#ifdef ABC
fooooo
#endif
#endif

Here the ifdefs of the inner block can be removed without any harm. At
this point we just checked the source code (for the undead), but we
want to do a crosscheck with the Kconfig for undead code blocks in the
future.

I build the patches against a vanilla kernel (v2.6.36-rc3) in order to
try if the kernel compiles with this patches.

Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed / merged so we
can keep track of it.

Regards

        Christian Dietrich
