No 2.95.x has __builtin_expect. There might be some 2.95-derived GNUpro that

This patch corrects a bug in CCP establishment which can result in a
major security hole.
The bug can cause PPP to NOT install and use a compressor module for
sending, even though the compressor is sucessfully negotiated by CCP.
Since encryption is sometimes implemented as a compressor module

It's all the same thing.
The page age and count are used to decice when the page actually gets

The maestro3 driver has a error cleanup bug that would leave its reboot
notifier registerd after exiting init_module with an error. Bayad.
It also had a minor bug where it didn't explicitly set the codec->id
before probing..
this patch vs 2.4.4-pre5 (I hope, its really vs jeff's cvs :)) fixes

Thank you very much for your cooperation. This is the third real problem that
the CONFIG_ namespace audit has turned up, and a good example of the sort of
thing I have been hoping to
Hi,
For ARM, I require pgd_alloc to take a struct mm_struct argument (so the
pgd_alloc prototype becomes "pgd_t *pgd_alloc(struct mm_struct *)".
Why? Because ARM must always have the first virtual page allocated and
present - its used for the hardware vectors, and in order to allocate
the page

Hello,
I want to do a new "distro" (home-brew) in some weeks,
when kernel 2.4 runs fine with gcc-3.0 when it's
finished. I want to use libc5 because I prefer it
over GNU and it's smaller. Is it possible or do
I have to expect major problems? I know that I won't
be able to use IPv6 etc. but that's

Hi,
building a kernel with 2.4.3-ac11 and lvm beta7 + vfs_locking_patch-2.4.2 yields:
oscar# depmod -ae 2.4.3-ac11
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.3-ac11/kernel/drivers/md/lvm-mod.o
depmod: get_hardblocksize
ideas?

As of kernel 2.4.3-ac11, there are 464 config options which have no help text in
Configure.help.
Here is the list of these items which have been introduced after 2.4.3-ac1.
Each group is incremental, versus 2.4.3-ac[n-1].
If you see one of your options here, please consider generating a patch
MMX **is** potentially used in the md (RAID-5) code for parity
calculation, IIRC, though. That's about the only place that I
can think of that it's used, but I don't claim to know the
inner workings of the entire kernel, either...
