Andrew Morton: Linux 2.6.16-rc4-mm1


ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.16-rc4/2.6.16-rc4-mm1/

  • git-jfs.patch has been dropped due to its ongoing git
    problems.
  • Added Al Viro’s `bird’ tree (what does that mean, anyway?) as
    git-viro-bird.patch.

    This tree had a lot of things dropped when it is merged into
    -mm, partly because some of it appears to have been merged into
    other git trees.

  • This kernel won’t compile on ia64 (and possibly other
    architectures) because the kbuild tree is using Elf_Rela in
    scripts/mod/modpost.c. Is OK on x86, x86_64 and powerpc. Sam might
    send a hotfix?
  • Many warnings are emitted at the link stage due to section
    mismatches and duplicated symbol exports. Please don’t report
    these. Patches are welcome, but do them carefully – it’s easy to
    make mistakes with these things.

    Boilerplate:

    • See the `hot-fixes’ directory for any important updates to this
      patchset.
    • To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

      git fetch
      git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git
      v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

  • -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to
    the mm-commits mailing list.

    echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail
    [email protected]

  • If you hit a bug in -mm and it’s not obvious which patch caused
    it, it is most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to
    identify which patch introduced the bug. Instructions for this
    process are at


    http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

    But beware that this process takes some time (around ten
    rebuilds and reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if
    we cannot immediately identify the faulty patch, then perform the
    bisection search.

  • When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer
    and mailing list on any email.
