I am all for it. But I would postpone this removal to 4.17. The reason is rather ugly. 13th patch is already in arc tree. We would need to shuffle the patch or coordinate pull requests. I think that it is not worth it. There is no real hurry. I doubt that the would be any new user in the meantime. Best Regards, Petr PS: I have just pushed 12 patches into printk.git for-4.16 branch. I will merge this to linux-next branch on Monday.

Great. I have pushed the patch that removes printk_symbol() into printk.git, branch for-4.16-print-symbol. Note that I have updated the commit message similar way like I did for the other commits. Especially I wanted to mention what it was obsoleted by. The message is: kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function No more print_symbol()/__print_symbol() users left, remove these symbols. It was a very old API that encouraged people use continuous lines. It had been obsoleted by %pS format specifier in a normal printk() call.
