- {/ 2.6.18-rc4-no2 "To be..." \} - Release Status: Unstable Reason: -rc kernel releases --------------------------------- -{ Release-Specific }- - A very solid release coming up into the mix, Based off of 2.6.18-rc4-mm1 but including several important and not so important fixes, some being in -mm2. Nothing real experimental was pushed into this release, just a ton of fixes and the new version of -mm. I'm really opt about the stability of this release in comparison to 2.6.18-rc4-no1, I went out of my way to assure it as stable as possible this release. (marked unstable due to -rc release only) -{ 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 stable -mm release (2.6.18-rc4-mm1) * Fixes intellimouse broken support found in all .18-rc kernels. * Includes about 46 misc. fixes/cleanups for the -mm patchset, some including major fixes * Dropped lockless pagecache from this release because it still has bugs. (We'll wait for some fixes to the direct data port from Nick Piggin first) * NoSched series re-done into 11 patches * Added the max_delay schedstat from nicksched to ingosched and staircase * Added a second patch to fix ati drivers. * Re-did the squashfs 3 port, moved a few things for statfs. It still gives a warning, but the warning should not be anything fatal. * Deadline is default again * Made a new improved version of the config-nr-tty-devices patch * ACPI DSDT seems to have been dropped, probally by accident. Apply manually if needed from the 2.6.18-rc2-no1 broken-out. -{ Patches }- # No-Sched Series: 01_NoSched-prep.patch 02_NoSched-Makefile.patch 03_NoSched-Kconfig.patch 04_NoSched-implement-ingosched.patch 05_NoSched-implement-staircase.patch 06_NoSched-implement-staircase-tunables.patch 07_NoSched-implement-staircase-sched-iso.patch 08_NoSched-implement-staircase-idleprio.patch 09_NoSched-implement-ifdefs.patch 10_NoSched-implement-max_delay-stat.patch 11_NoSched-implement-max_delay-stat-2.patch # Hot-Fixes/Simple Cleanups for -mm trivial-kzalloc-opportunity.patch lock-ticogwinsz.patch stop-the-tty-vanishing-under-procfs-access.patch fix-crash-case.patch lock-tty-directly-in-acct-layer.patch multiprobe-sanitizer.patch kprobes-i386-add-KPROBE_END_for_popsection.patch kprobes-x86_64-add-KPROBE_END_for_popsection.patch ppc_fix-firewire-and-suspend.patch char-better-error-codes.patch fix-docs-for-suid_non_dumpable.patch net_restrict-device-names-from-having-whitespace.patch revert-intellimouse-4-support_broken.patch revert-simplify-update_times-avoid-jiffies-jiffies_64-aliasing-problem.patch do-not-check-unpopulated-zones-for-draining-and-counter.patch ecryptfs-crypto-functions-mutex-fixes.patch fix-wrong-error-code-on-interrupted-close-syscalls-fix.patch fs-xfs-xfs_dmapih-removal-of-old-code.patch gregkh-usb-usb-cypress-bugfix.patch hdaps-add-explicit-hardware-configuration-functions-fix.patch swsusp-fix-swap_type_of.patch swsusp-read-speedup-fix-fix-2.patch swsusp-use-memory-bitmaps-during-resume-fix.patch swsusp-use-suspend_console.patch pm-make-it-possible-to-disable-console-suspending.patch pm-make-it-possible-to-disable-console-suspending-fix.patch i386-detect-clock-skew-during-suspend.patch optimize-free_one_page.patch reduce-max_nr_zones-remove-display-of-counters-for-unconfigured-zones-s390-fix-fix.patch rtmutex-clean-up-and-remove-some-extra-spinlocks-more.patch zvc-overstep-counters.patch fix-____call_usermodehelper-errors-being-silently-ignored.patch fix-ext2-mounts-at-16t.patch fix-ext3-mounts-at-16t.patch fix-memory-leak-in-vc_resize-vc_allocate.patch fix-possible-udf-deadlock-and-memory-corruption.patch i-o-error-attempting-to-read-last-partial-block-of-a-file-in-an-iso9660-file-system.patch mxser-upgrade-to-191.patch __dequeue_signal-cleanup.patch reparent_to_init-use-has_rt_policy.patch kill-extraneous-printk-in-kernel_restart.patch tty-make-termios_sem-a-mutex.patch tty-make-termios_sem-a-mutex-fix.patch for-2618-revert-drop-tasklist-lock-in-do_sched_setscheduler.patch do_sched_setscheduler-dont-take-tasklist_lock.patch # from Spock fbsplash-0.9.2-r5.patch | gensplash vesafb-tng-1.0-rc2.patch | vesa-tng # from -ck kconfig-expose_vmsplit-option.patch | improve explanations and make vmsplit visible mm-convert_swappiness_to_mapped.patch | convert swappiness to mapped watermark mm-lots_watermark.patch | Add the pages_lots watermark # from -tiny cpu-support.patch movsl-mask.patch mtrr-cpusupport.patch # Thinkpad Patches ibm-fancontrol.patch ibm_acpi-thermal.patch linux-phc-0.2.6-2.6.18-rc4-no2.patch # Convert joydev for digital presses (optional/Kconfig Option) linux-joydev-analogdigital.patch linux-joydev-analogdigital-fix.patch # Fix support for ATI-Drivers fix-ati-build-1.patch fix-ati-build-2.patch # Random Stuff HZ-864-Kconfig-Option.patch add-clockinfo-to-timerc.patch prevent-backwards-time.patch no-preferred-desktop-opts.patch config-nr-tty-devices-r3.patch realtime-lsm.patch # File Systems squashfs-3.0.patch unionfs-svn.patch # USB usb-mouse-polling.patch usbxchange5.patch # from DaMouse daconfig-2.3.1.patch # tag no-tag.patch # Build Fixes. # # To fix all build errors from the other patches. final-build-fixes.patch
