The API relied on /proc/timer_stats which has been removed from the
kernel in 2017. Since then, the API has been non-functional (yet
incorrectly reporting support because the support test was buggy).
Just remove it completely. The debian codesearch does not uncover any
API users. Also, I doubt that any new API (based on tracing scheduler
events as perf would do) would map well to what exists now. i.e. if
something like this is re-implemented in UPower or elsewhere, then the
API should likely look different.
And, realistically, if this does need root privileges (i.e. can't be
moved to use BPF programs or so on user units), then we can also create
a new small daemon that is launched on-demand just for that.
automake's documentation says that it works depth-first, but it doesn't
actually go depth first when dist'ing a directory. So our .ref.xml files
aren't generated when we try to get them added to the dist.
Fix this with a big hammer by moving the generation to the current
directory, rather than spending any more time working with automake.
Can't wait for the meson port.
It was added for some workloads, but ill-suited and never really
got traction. Using cgroups to manage the resources of particular
services (using systemd), or something separate like rtkit is
a better bet.
Add a new DBus interface based on the QoS one to provide for controlling a
keyboard backlight via the Linux leds interface.
