- Added the s390 git tree to the -mm lineup, as git-s390.patch
(Martin Schwidefsky) - ppc64 (on mac g5) fails to boot for me, due to changes in the
powerpc tree. - ‘make allnoconfig’ builds will fail due to the IPC namespaces
patches - A reminder that I’m travelling for the next week and shall be
more than usually useless.
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 majordomo@vger.kernel.org
- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is 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.
