Re: Reg kdb utility
Hi, I tried to use kdb on my 2.2.14-12 kernel. I was able to compile the file /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kdb/modules/kdbm_vm.c and could get the object file. When I tried to insert it as a module it givesd the following error message: ./kdbm_vm.o: kernel-module version mismatch ./kdbm_vm.o was compiled for kernel version .2.14-12 while this kernel is version 2.2.14-12. Please tell me why this message comes.

Reg putname() function
Hi,
Can anybody please tell me what the following assembly code means:
Tne function put_unused_fd() does FD_CLR() to clear the file descriptor
allocated in case file pointer could not be got. Before returning -1 as
file descriptor it goes to put_unused_fd() which calls FD_CLR() which is
as follows;
#define __FD_CLR(fd,fdsetp) \
__asm__ __volatile__("btrl %1,%0": \
"=m" (*(__kernel_fd_set *) (fdsetp)):"r" ((int)
(fd)))
This is in asm/posixtypes.h. Please decipher this for me.
