Andrew Morton: Linux 2.6.19-rc5-mm1

Temporarily at

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/2.6.19-rc5-mm1/

will turn up at


ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.19-rc5/2.6.19-rc5-mm1/

when kernel.org mirroring catches up.

  • Merged the Kernel-based Virtual Machine patches. See kvm.sf.net/ for userspace tools,
    instructions, etc.

    It needs a recent binutils to build.

  • The hrtimer+dynticks code still doesn’t work right for machines
    which halt their TSC in low-power states.

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
    tag v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 git-checkout -b local-v2.6.16-rc2-mm1
    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.
  • When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also
    rewrite the email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of
    the bug. Some developers filter by Subject: when looking for
    messages to read.
  • Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/
    and are announced on the mm-commits list.
