I guess best would be to just run the major other users (PAPI, perf, trinity, numatop, ...?) once around rc1 time. If it's reported at rc1 things can usually be fixed. So would just need a easy script to do a quick test of all of these. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
