Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden
to core networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs
in BKL-era code, and noobs try to fix them.
If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted.
We've talked about these deletions multiple times in the past
and every time someone wanted the code to stay. It is never
very clear to me how many of those people actually use the code
vs are just nostalgic to see it go. Amateur radio did have
occasional users (or so I think) but most users switched
to user space implementations since its all super slow stuff.
Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.
We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC
so we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of
this code behind us.

Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation
and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree.
This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet,
and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx
of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree
to protect our sanity.
The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan
if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back.
Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP,
AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN)
so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues
to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

Remove CAIF (Communication CPU to Application CPU Interface), the
ST-Ericsson modem protocol. The subsystem has been orphaned since 2013.
The last meaningful changes from the maintainers were in March 2013:
a8c7687bf2 ("caif_virtio: Check that vringh_config is not null")
b2273be8d2 ("caif_virtio: Use vringh_notify_enable correctly")
0d2e1a2926 ("caif_virtio: Introduce caif over virtio")
Not-so-coincidentally, according to "the Internet" ST-Ericsson officially
shut down its modem joint venture in Aug 2013.
If anyone is using this code please yell!
In the 13 years since, the code has accumulated 200 non-merge commits,
of which 71 were cross-tree API changes, 21 carried Fixes: tags, and
the remaining ~110 were cleanups, doc conversions, treewide refactors,
and one partial removal (caif_hsi, ca75bcf0a8).
We are still getting fixes to this code, in the last 10 days there were
3 reports on security@ about CAIF that I have been CCed on.
UAPI constants (AF_CAIF, ARPHRD_CAIF, N_CAIF, VIRTIO_ID_CAIF) and the
SELinux classmap entry are intentionally kept for ABI stability.

Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the
data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the
initialization of the core MM.
Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture
specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO
initialization on different architectures.
Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to
free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is
always the same.

Start a new Japanese translation of
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.
Instead of moving the outdated 2011
translation (SubmittingPatches), we are starting a fresh translation of
the current English document.
This patch adds the initial file structure, the warning about the
document being under construction, and the translation of the
introduction section.
The translation work will be done incrementally.

The memory-barriers.txt Korean translation is quite outdated. The last
update on the translation was made on 2022-10-10, by commit ee5a86f451
("docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Fix confusing name of 'data dependency
barrier'"). After the date, the original memory-barriers.txt got seven
more changes so far. The most recent one was made on 2025-11-05. But
none of those are applied to the translation.
Maybe I can work again on keeping it updated. But, given the
advancement of translation tools, I think it might not be worth keeping
it at all. Remove the outdated translation.
If it turns out to be worthy to keep the translation and someone willing
to keep it updated steps up, this could be reverted.
This change was inspired from the last kernel summit discussion [1].
