hi all, I want to ask if I want to get started with Linux Kernel Development then is it feasible that I can do all my experiments on Virtual Machine as on Linux my Internet dongle does not work, I am asking in terms of performance and efficiency. Looking for guidance, Thanks ! -- *Mayur S

I'm tried to compile a few older commits and run, but none of them boot and I can't get the status of the issue. -- Lucas Tanure +55 (19) 988176559 On Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 2:24 PM, Raul Piper wrote: > I m a newbie.is there a doc which developers follow for using > git-bisect.google misleads !!

git bisect would be a choice. Seems your issue is around i915, that is related to intel graphics, isolate commits in this area would be another way On Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 2:09 PM, Lucas Tanure wrote: > Hi, > > I would like some tips about how debug a issue with linux-next. > I'm trying to find

Help debugging linux-next.

Hi, I would like some tips about how debug a issue with linux-next. I'm trying to find things to do in kernel, and the first thing is boot the linux-next tree. I'm able to compile the source, but when I boot I got a black screen a few times, or a just a warn in dmesg. I'm trying to understand th

Re: What's the difference between /proc/vmcore and /proc/kcore ?

My take on it is that /proc/kcore is a mapping of the raw virtual memory, so it looks like a humungous sparse file. /proc/vmcore is a ELF-formatted version of the same thing which would be more suitable for storing on a hard-drive. On Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 6:30 AM, Lucas Tanure wrote: > Hi, > >

Re: When to use threaded interrupts?

Kosta, This kernel and older ones include device drivers which use threaded IRQs (call request_threaded_irq(), etc). For example, many of the driver under drivers/input/touchscreen are using threaded IRQs: Following link is from kernel 3.18: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/input/touc
