Re: Public Kernel Development

The drivers I’m releasing probably don’t belong in the kernel Cheers! On Fri, 1 Dec 2017 at 19:40, <valdis.kletni...@vt.edu> wrote: > On Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:16:05 +0000, Chris Obbard said: > > > Currently I am writing drivers for ARM boards (think along the lines of >

Public Kernel Development

Hi list, Currently I am writing drivers for ARM boards (think along the lines of Raspberry Pi HATs, it doesn't belong in mainline; as well as other various hacks), which just consist of series of patches which I apply by checking out Mainline and then applying the patches by hand. Naturally,

Cannot activate multiple CPUs.

in unknown state : 0x0 [3.271449] smp: Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU Is it possible that multiple cores are not supported in the mainline code? Or am I missing some piece of configuration that would bring up multiple cores? Thanks in advance, - Chris

Re: Mentor

Best thing to do is determine what you are interested in. Pick an area and start studying. The kernel is to big imo to be floating around everywhere. I picked dvb drivers, others are interested in networking or graphics etc. UDL On Mon, Nov 2, 2015, 9:02 AM Ranjith T

than willing to submit any and all information anyone needs to help me solve this. One reply I received to my bug report is that I need to update my bios however I don't understand how that would solve the problem I'm having. Thanks in advance for any and all replies/assistance. Chris

Re: Bad Commit for Current Lockups

Did you test this theory or just do a simple search and make an assumption? Did you test before and after reverting the patch? You cant just make a statement without backing it up. Chris On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 7:37 AM, nick xerofo...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings, I send Dave, what I feel

Re: A quick guide to why stand-alone checkpatch patches suck...

/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies Terrible reason to submit a patch. If you dont understand the code snippet, you should not be submitting patch's against them. You need to fully understand the code inside and out before you even consider fixing it. Chris

Re: Tracing file size changes

kernels with fanotify are able to do this. So the feature is available, just too new to be on my servers. Oh, well :P Thanks for the input. I will probably just end up doing what I can with ld_preload. Chris ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies

Tracing file size changes

I'm trying to think of a good way to figure out where space is going on somewhat large and busy filesystems. Often I will be notified by nagios that I am running out of space somewhere, and it will even tell me what the trend in usage is. So now I know that I lost a bunch of space recently.

Re: Module to sanitize freed memory ?

Hi, Is there a kernel module that sanitizes (overwrites) freed memory ? Or maybe does sysctl offer something like this ? Regards, Chris you can always use the kzfree() routine, that zeroes freed memory automatically. rday What's wrong with the kernel option that does

trouble locating code that increments jiffies (arm)

Hi list, I've been looking for the code that increments the jiffies variable as well as the code that connects a timer interrupt to the function that increments the variable. I'm working with the ARM architecture in case that makes a difference. I was also wondering, how many jiffies are
