It would be great if Google would actually create this patchset or at least indicate a list of files/directories are that modified as part of the Android changes..
The fastest thing to do is to take a particular Android Kernel and then the Kernel.org equivalent of the same Kernel and start with a diff of that. That should most likely get you the bulk of the patchset.. With all of my ports so far (2.6.29 and 2.6.32) for Donut and Eclair..I've found it's easier to just take my BSP support and shove that into the Android Kernel than take the Android support and make it work on my modified Kernel.. -- Ashwin On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 8:43 AM, Scott W <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > What is the recommended way to extract the Android kernel patches from > a given kernel version in the android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git > tree, so that these patches can then be applied against the same > version of a customized kernel? > > I would think this is a commonly performed (and well documented) > operation, but there seem to be many different recommendations and > assertions, and as many false leads, floating around. > > Since Android /init is quite sensitive to a properly patched kernel, > this is an important issue in getting a port running.
