Here's a patch to add a little extra spice if Russell's latest kernel isn't quite unstable enough for your tastes. <ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/p/philb/linux-2.2.5-philb-990408.gz> It's been a while since I posted the list of stuff included, so here it is again. Hit delete now if you're not interested. * New hardware supported - NetWinder and generic Footbridge /dev/flash (NetWinder courtesy Woody) (Generic one needs some more thought) - DS2400 ID chip (as used in Acorn machines) - NetWinder '977 (courtesy Woody) and generic Footbridge watchdogs - Aladdin IDE adapters (hatchet job backported from Andre's patch) - /dev/nvram should work on ARM systems now (untested) - add support for "special" baud rates to serial.c - miscellaneous other bits for CATS support - 6854 Econet (sort of) * New features - 21285 PCI initialisation for non-central-function situations - /usr/gnemul for BSD - `swap=...' commandline parameter - support NetWinder revision/board id data (Woody) - /proc/sys/bus/isa/* - add cache-coherency support to epic100 driver (untested) - /proc/therm support (Woody) - update to latest parport code (Tim W) * Fixes - correct LDRT problems with overlapping registers (Nick Clark) - two small NWFPE bugs squashed - avoid kernel panic when a misaligned ldrt is encountered - make irtty compile if TIOCM_OUT2 doesn't exist - initialise OPL3 on NetWinder properly (Woody) - make SYMBOL_NAME_STR work with versioned symbols - don't force ISA RTC to BCD mode on '285 systems - various assumptions about signedness of char in sound code - fbcon/mfb handle "backwards" (Acorn) 1bpp modes properly * Performance tweaks - ARM3 uaccess rewrite - improved lazy cache flushing for SA110 - old proc-fn code rides again - CONFIG_SMALL_BUFFERS added - fast path signal.c a little - tweak kswapd targets again for old machines with little RAM - `current' now less volatile - small optimisations to kernel entry code - IRQ lock detection now optional, defaults to off * Miscellanea - new floppy pseudo-DMA code for Acorn machines - Configure.help updates and corrections (some courtesy Dave Gilbert) - dma_*, readb etc converted to macros from inlines - rework CPU selection mechanism again, reduced #ifdefs in setup.c - renumber ISA DMA channels, IRQs to start at 0 on 21285 machines - /proc/ioports allows 8 digits for each address - disable FIQs when updating IRQ masks on Acorn machines - straighten out reboot code in <asm/system.h> - add some support for big-endian operation - tweaks asms to make `gcc -S' output more readable - Footbridge LED rework - try to get BSD partition support to recognise NetBSD/arm32 - report VM_IO flag in /proc/pid/maps - shut up assorted warnings (including some from checkconfig) - shut up NFS debugging messages - Econet updates That's all. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
