It'll break non-ia32 builds. But it appears that we should push ahead and get this implemented across the other architectures. - Updated oprofile patches from John. - Adam's devfs rework is back in. We only had two testers last time, (out of maybe 150 downloads) which is fairly disappointing. So if you use devfs, _please_ test this change and send either success or failure reports (not to me though). Adam said: If you want devfsd functionality (well, at least the "REGISTER" and "LOOKUP" events), you can get my user level program devfs_helper, which is a reduced functionality replacement program for devfsd from the following URL. ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/pub/dist/device_control/devfs/devfs_helper-0.2.tar.gz Changes since 2.5.59-mm1: +lockless-current_kernel_time.patch Reinstated. -mixer-bounds-check.patch This didn't look right. +kirq-up-fix.patch Fix the kirq build for non-SMP -op4-fix.patch Not needed with the updated oprofile patch +oprofile_cpu-as-string.patch oprofile work from John. +remove-will_become_orphaned_pgrp.patch Cleanup +MAX_IO_APICS-ifdef.patch NUMA fix +dac960-error-retry.patch DAC960 robustness enhancements +put_user-warning-fix.patch ARM build fix +vmlinux-fix.patch Should fix the modprobe oopses with RH8.0 toolchains +smalldevfs.patch devfs rework +sound-firmware-load-fix.patch Build fix for OSS sound card firmware loading. +exit_mmap-fix2.patch Fix exec of 32-bit apps from 64-bit apps on PPC64/ia64/sparc64, perhaps.
