Hi; I am a kernel newbie who is about to embark on "Kernel Hackers' Guide to git". Up to now I have been tentatively using google:code to check up on any kernel mysteries I might have had.
I am asking for pointers, not full descriptions; please excuse my kernel terminology. As I say, I am a newbie. If what I write doesn't make sense, ask me for more details or try to decipher what I am getting at. How do I trace back through code for the full tree of a single process? For example, I wanted to trace the full 'line discipline' code -- from first constant #define, through N_TTY, to its use in TTY? I had a 'Hell' of a time. I never did get the whole thing put together. Without limiting the generality of my question, how would I go about tracing or building process sub-trees? Are there tutorials, programs or git techniques that assist me in doing those kind of traces? I would appreciate your assistance. Just pointing me in the right direction is all I need for now. I will do the requisite reading and practising . By the way, my plan was to use the git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git as my source. Is it any more difficult, or likely to be less confusing at the start, if I download the Fedora 9 kernel source instead? (I am using the F9 distribution.) -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
