Geert, I'm assuming this build failure is clear? It is breaking because it depends on the first patch. I don't know if there is protocol for sending dependent patches into the kernel? On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 2:18 AM, kbuild test robot wrote: > Hi Gideon, > > [auto build test

How is an OS bound to the Linux kernel

hey guys, I generally manage to understand the various pieces of the linux kernel and what their functions are. However, one thing I don't fully understand is how is any OS, say fedora (which is what I use) is bound to the kernel. Lets say I want to just build a system on top of linux that

Pointers on debugging my machine not booting

Hey guys, So I usually have the latest mainline kernel (on my fedora box) I've recently sent it tiny refactoring patches. Today, I start my machine and it just doesn't start. I had 3.11, 3.12, and a few 3.14 rcs. All show up booting, a few lines print on the screen about various things it does.

Is there any list for newbie bugs?

Hey All, In my quest for work in the linux kernel I was looking at bugs. While I have a general idea of the kernel (including KDB) most of the bugs I've seen (under process management and drivers) are very contrived to me. I was wondering if there is anything like a good_first_bug or newbie_bug

Newbie: trying to hack an RTL8101E driver

So I've submitted some patches for some tiny ongoing refactoring. In the hopes of moving to more _real_ work I've been snooping at the ethernet drivers. I was especially curious about driver code that is running for my own hardware. I found out with lshw that I'm running a Atheros QCA9565 /

So I was thinking of this hideous project (don't laugh!) at tearing out the CFS scheduler and then rewriting a very dumb scheduler in it's place. What do you guys think? This is of course just to understand the scheduler better. I just don't know how large or ridiculous this is though :) On
