good idea, I have a use for that idea right here. I have two similar but unmatched DDR strips on a dual chanel board. I had to roll back my o/c quite a bit to get one little section at the end to work. Both would work faster out of dual channel mode.
seems like a damn good idea to me.

[...]but my proposal is to include a possibility to include own set of CFLAGS_KERNEL eg. during make menuconfig - is it possible and worth? |
I've investigated on this some time ago including the question why the freebsd kernel is compiled with -mnosse -mnosse etc.
I don't know the details but I got to know that a kernel does not get any benefits from that.
My question is: What is a RCU and why is it good to have it preemptive?  |

I think nitro build this kind of option in for a while but then dropped it because ppl were just doing silly things with it .

I've ported the BadRam patch to 2.6.18_rc5-no1 (this one) and posted it here.
EDIT:

nice effort, thanks,
one big thing missing here is how to extract the addresses from memtest86+ and howto supply them to the command line in grub/lilo.
sadly the one broken link on his site is the BadRAM HOWTO . LOL
[EDIT found a copy of that doc  ]
http://badmem.sourceforge.net/docu/BadMEM-HOWTO.html#GETTINGITWORKING
have you been brave enough to build and run this patch yet?

 I'm still testing whether it compiles, I'll boot it up in a minute when (hopefully) allyesconfig, allmodconfig and randconfig succeed. |

with RCU preemptible activated is terribly slow
without works fine

 eremini, did you even test this release? It doesn't build with allyesconfig 
| Code: | CC kernel/sched_staircase.o
kernel/sched_staircase.c: In function 'show_schedstat':
kernel/sched_staircase.c:346: error: 'struct sched_info' has no member named 'max_delay'
make[1]: *** [kernel/sched_staircase.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2 |
Theres a couple more errors like this, removing one "%lu" and the offending member makes it build .
EDIT:
| eremini wrote: | TESTING
This release has been allmodconfig tested, rcupreempt and rcuclassic staircase tested. |
Sorry didn't see this before. Please can you test with allyesconfig as well before you release next time eremini?
Also, if patches apply with fuzz, can you remove the .orig files they produce or use the --no-backup-if-mismatch option?
Btw, you're doing a great job and I'm sure I speak for all the users of this kernel when I say "Thank you"

still a bit of ironing needed it seems. I'll let you poke at it for a bit while I go and induce some bad blocks by upping the o'c a bit.

In the last release (and the one b4 that, dunno about earlier) 4k stacks was somehow default enabled. I couldn't change it by changing in the .config either. Because of this I was having issues on reiser4. All sorts of messages kept coming up and things weren't so good. Is it enabled in this one also?? If so, how do I disable it

Somewhere in menuconfig it will give you the option, maybe kernel hacking?
Try checking init/Kconfig and find out what section it's in.
