2012/7/6 Joost Ruis <[email protected]>: > ban thanks for the concise answer, but the problem remains: people willing to help kernel developers need to provide debug informations about modules they're working on.
In the specific case of the dvb subsystem, Mauro Carvalho Chehab has developed a smart script that allows users to test the latest modules without messing with the user system. you basically follow this step: git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git cd media_build ./build --git <git-tree-of-your-interest> <branch> The new dvb-usb subsystem makes use of the aforementioned CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG to print debug information, so my question about the possibility to enable it in the stock sabayon kernel images. Security wise, IMHO it doesn't pose too much problems, as a user willing to enable debug outputs has already the possibility to load/unload kernel modules with the proper debug parameters. Also to access these informations root access is needed. what do you think? Please point me to the right place to ask this kind of questions if the dev mailing list is not the right one. I've avoid to file a bug because IMHO it's not really a bug, but just a request for comments. Regards, Pierangelo
