 Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:00 pm Post subject: 2.6.18-rc5-no1 "No? Hell No!" | Preemptiable RCU! |
 |
|
- {/ 2.6.18-rc5-no1 "No? Hell No!" \} -
Release Status: Unstable
Reason: -rc kernel releases, experimental patches
---------------------------------
-{ Release-Specific }-
- Finally a new release, based off 2.6.18-rc5-mm1. Both ingosched and staircase code has been synced with the latest sched.c and -ck patchset. More useful patches were grabbed from -ck and also the experimental preempt RCU patches. All -mm hotfixes have also been included. Squashfs has been updated to 3.1-r2 and both SquashFS and UnionFS have been fixed for compiling (at least it was failing to compile on my system. See the Changelog for more changes. Unfortunately, broken out patches are not available in this really, blame me (eremini). Note: eremini is the mainaner of this release, so please direct all bug reports to him.
-{ Patchset-Specific }-
- No-sources is a kernel patchset based on Andrew Morton's -mm patchset. It contains
numerous user-requested features, other things gathered from various sources, and
some of our own items/patches to make it no-certified.
"No-sources was founded during the end of love-source's reign by JasonF and myself.
Our intention was to create a patchset that would be able to continue on regardless
of maintainer and still live in the spirit of -love's original -mm base and featureset.
Given there have been numerous changes throughout the releases, including different
maintainers, but I believe through this philosophy a useful patchset can continue to be made."
-joecool
-{ Changelog > 2.6.18-rc4-no1 }-
* Based off of a new -mm release (2.6.18-rc5-mm1)
* Includes hot-fixes for the -mm patchset

TESTING
This release has been allmodconfig tested, rcupreempt and rcuclassic staircase tested. Ran personally by me for a few days now, I noticed the system overall more responsive.
Good Luck!
I look forward to any feedback. |

Good work!
With my new system up and running, I will definitely use this as my kernel after installation.

I just upgraded portage to 2.1.1
Now I want to emerge the newest no-sources and this is the output I get when digesting an ebuild

I copied one of the old .ebuild files over the top of another one.
| Code: | | cp no-sources-2.6.18_rc4-r2.ebuild no-sources-2.6.18_rc5-r1 |
Worked perfectly for me.. Dunno why the new ebuild didn't work...[/code] |

Copying works, but I still get the error when making. Sheet 
Maybe its because of amd64?
--- EDIT --
I had to disable SMP support. Now it is happyly compiling.

Something must have messed up during the ebuild upload, because the same copy I gave cheater is on my box right now working fine.
I knew I should've tested SMP, I have a one processor system, so I didn't even think about it. I will take a look and hopefully fix it in the next release (rc6-mm1 is out)
Thanks guys. |

| The reason of error is End of line - should be unix style, but is windows style. Try to open ebuild with Kate, select end of line - Unix, cut everything and pase, then save ebuild. And now it should work. |

re-uploaded the ebuild, it should work now.
My mistake, I uploaded the wrong ebuild file from my system. (I edited an old no-sources ebuild in doze, I knew it wouldn't work so i asked eremini for his and when i saved it it went has no-sources-2.6.18-rc5-no1(2).ebuild) so I accidently didn't upload the (2) like I should of.

yeah well I have a turion dualcore so disabling smp and using no for perfomance is kinda riding a porsche in first gear...
btw patch still refuses to apply :s what am I doing wrong?
I open nano, c/p the code, save it to a file in the lowest dir as stated in the code. and do "patch -p0 < filewithpatch" it says it rejects in line 672 or something... :s |

You might have to go for this one manually (Edit the file manually with what the patch suggests)

I was hoping to test this one but I think I'll wait for the dust to settle.
Does 2.6.18-rc4-no1 suffer from mem leaks ? I'm having some odd crashes on thunar snv builds that suggest a kernel bug.
TIA

eremini & cheater
another great kernel patchset working here - so far with no errors
but last time I noticed a big speed increase - I dont't know if it is because compiling with different CFLAGS or just emerging new E17 ; but my proposal is to include a possibility to include own set of CFLAGS_KERNEL eg. during make menuconfig - is it possible and worth?

It would be great if you could get it in the next no-sources. Also, is there any possibility of getting the Bad Ram patch in? |

you seem to have miss read, I was asking about 2.6.18-rc4-no1
did that have any memory issues. I thought it was good patchset but just checking.
thx
