/* * 2.6.18-no1 "Freakin' A" * Release Notes */ Release By: cheater-conrad Releast Status: STABLE *** /* Release Specific */ - Stable New Release, based off of 2.6.18-mm1. A good stable release, the NoSched series was entirely re-worked again and is a lot more sane and easier to maintain. hdaps_protect in the patchset is based off of an experimental hdaps_protect version, there are no guarantees it will work, so please check your dmesg for farts and report them to us. /* 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-rc6-no1 */ - This release actually builds - NoSched series re-worked, has a few new features. - STAIRCASE NOW HAS VIPERNICUS'S COMPLETE PRESET/CUSTOM TUNABLES IN THE KCONFIG (staircase only) - The entire -ck patches are now included in no-sources. All scheduler-related patches are in NoSched - Updated config-nr-tty-devices again, this is probally my last attempt at a splashutils work-around. - hdaps_protect from 20060922 is in this patchset, and builds, check dmesg for potential farts tp users! - MSI should be fixed now, I added a doozy of fixes/updates - RCU PREEMPT is back in this patchset - realtime-lsm patch has finally been updated - New USB-MOUSE-POLLING patch - Several cleaning and improving scraps for stability - x86_64 was fixed as it was broken upstream in 2.6.18-mm1 /* Patch List & Short Description */ /*** NoSched Series ***/ NoSched-01-Cleanup-sched.c Clear up the sched.c as we do not build it under that name NoSched-02-Makefile Work out the makefile for the schedulers NoSched-03-Kconfig Add Kconfig options and descriptions for schedulers NoSched-04-Ingosched-2.6.18-mm1 Implement ingosched from 2.6.18-mm1 NoSched-05-Staircase16.2-base Implement the basic staircase policy v16.2, -mm port NoSched-06-Staircase16.2-interactive Implement the interactive sysctl for staircase NoSched-07-Staircase16.2-compute Implement the compute sysctl for compute servers NoSched-08-Staircase16.2-range Implement the sched-range patch NoSched-09-Staircase16.2-headers Implement header ifdefs, etc. NoSched-10-Staircase16.2-iso-4.6 Implement sched-iso v4.6 NoSched-11-Staircase-idleprio-1.11 Implement idleprio v1.11 NoSched-12-Max_Delay Implement the max_Delay statistic NoSched-13-Staircase-Viper-Tunables Implement comprehensive Kconfig ctl's for staircase NoSched-14-Staircase-Viper-Tunes-2 Implement it more NoSched-15-Staircase-Viper-Tunes-3 Implement it even more NoSched-16-Max_Delay-fix Fix the Max_Delay implementation /*** Standard no-sources stuff ***/ HZ-864-Kconfig-Option Add HZ_864 option config-nr-tty-devices-r4 configure number of TTY devices in /dev daconfig-2.3.1 DaMouse's script final-fixup.
