Hi,
I'm seeing these gcc warnings in test10-pre[23].
They could have occurred before that also -- I don't know.
I'm using gcc 2.7.2.3. Is that a problem?
Also, I can't boot test10-pre[23]. I get an oops in swapper.
It's not logged so I can't see where it's actually happening.

my point was that a god-awful 365 message flamewar was unnecessary, and
removing C++ keywords from system headers is not that big a deal.

The fix is been finally merged in
in arch/alpha/math-emu/math.c, one needs to disassemble the 32bit float

Hi,
suppose i allocate an buffer by calling kmalloc.
i want to map this buffer to user address space.
will remap_page_range will automatically map this
buffer to calling process's address space.
thanks.

Many thanks go to both Keith Owens, and the multitude of others
that responded to my 2.4.x boot problem. Keith sent me his
VIDEO_CHAR patch which helped track things down, and will also
prove helpful in the future as well.
The problem ended up being user error. ;o) My kernels are
compiled for

Its already marked experimental, no problem.

Its called 'I can apply this last diff just a minute before release, it cant
possibly go wrong'.

Hello, all:
I compile my linux module program dony.c with "-D--Kernel__ -DMODULE"
options enabled, and then insert it into kernel using "insmod dony.o" . It
stops when it tries to access a global varible "struct dony_struct
MyPrivateStruct" and complains such messages as "cannot handle page
Um? Huh? This seems like mumbo-jumbo to me. With the exception of those
parts of the kernel that actually manipulate the hardware as hardware, --
which is a surprisingly small part of the kernel, even of the parts of the
kernel that look like what they do is manipulate the hardware as hardware
Hi,
I hope IF C++ kernel modules written I could find the same module written in
C too, because I would refuse using C++ in kernel for various reasons.
I'm Hungarian guy and I can speak English (yeah, only a bit ;-).
Note that I can't make Hungarian the default language for a software
made for

Not meant to offend, but it's obvious you are not grasping hardware
optimization issues relative to kernel development and performance. I
would recommend getting your hands on a bus analyzer, and testing out
some of your theories, and explore for yourself relative to these issues
with some hard
