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

Hi,
Is the structure rtc_ops still used in rtc drivers in the new kernels?
If not, what is the equivalent of it?
Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry if this question is stupid.
How the vmlinux (an ELF executable) is recognized by the processor?

If, so the grub code will have the mechanisms for extracting

why do you put concern on vmlinux anyway? boot loader loads vmlinuz,
not vmlinux

Hi Vikram,

ELF is just a file format. That is, the machine instructions and data are
stored in a specific format. The _processor_ simply recognizes machine
instructions and this needs to be taken from the ELF file and loaded
Yes, and so is the option module. But you are looking at a wierd device
that somehow thinks it is both an option device, and a pl2303 device,
which are totally different chipsets.

What are the mandatory tools that must be run to identify potential
bugs ( say memory , locking etc )
in a linux device driver ?

Turn lockdep and the kernel memory leak detector and run your driver and
see what happens.
