Greetings Fellow Kernel Developers,
I was wondering if there is any way to port a newer kernel to my device
without
breaking the android user space.
Yes. There is a way.

That was my concern. How much forward porting is required.

Step 1: Get good enough at kernel hacking to forward-port all the
Android-specific patches. Those should be available to you from Samsung
as they are GPL.
Step 2:

This is just a idea for now I haven't have the idea to look at making the
porting patch(es) yet.
Then it really doesn't matter how long it will take, because it's not
likely to actually happen. So why you bothering to ask?

Hi
How to check for the error values for kernel API's like kmalloc() and
ioremap().
If the call fails, the return value is NULL. So, how do I know what caused
the failure? I have looked at examples in the kernel code. They are
returning a hard-coded value of -ENOMEM if kmalloc() fails.
Is there

That will depend on your actual skill level. That which is a long weekend's
