CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS: Deprecated /proc/acpi files

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS has multiple definitions:

Deprecated /proc/acpi files found in drivers/acpi/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS:

• prompt: Deprecated /proc/acpi files
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_PROC_FS
• defined in drivers/acpi/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.23–2.6.39, 3.0–3.14

Help text

For backwards compatibility, this option allows deprecated /proc/acpi/ files to exist, even when they have been replaced by functions in /sys.

This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ files and functions which do not yet exist in /sys.

Say N to delete /proc/acpi/ files that have moved to /sys/

Procfs interface (deprecated) found in drivers/acpi/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS:

• prompt: Procfs interface (deprecated)
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_ACPI
• defined in drivers/acpi/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.21–2.6.22

Help text

The Procfs interface for ACPI is made optional for backward compatibility. As the same functions are duplicated in the sysfs interface and this proc interface will be removed some time later, it's marked as deprecated. ( /proc/acpi/debug_layer && debug_level are deprecated by /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer && debug_level. /proc/acpi/info is deprecated by /sys/module/acpi/parameters/acpica_version )
