Jonathan Neuschäfer b7285b4253 kernel/sys.c: Clarify that UNAME26 does not generate unique versions anymore ... UNAME26 is a mechanism to report Linux's version as 2.6.x, for compatibility with old/broken software. Due to the way it is implemented, it would have to be updated after 5.0, to keep the resulting versions unique. Linus Torvalds argued: "Do we actually need this? I'd rather let it bitrot, and just let it return random versions. It will just start again at 2.4.60, won't it? Anybody who uses UNAME26 for a 5.x kernel might as well think it's still 4.x. The user space is so old that it can't possibly care about differences between 4.x and 5.x, can it? The only thing that matters is that it shows "2.4.<largeenough>", which it will do regardless" Signed-off-by: Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>		2019-01-14 10:38:03 +12:00
