Hi Will,
Thanks for a wonderful job of covering so many OS versions and so many
platforms.
You are running against 2.6.21 with fedora patches (if any) where as
PPC tests seems to be running with 2.6.22-rc1 which is straight Linus
kernel, I don't know what Dave is running on s390. The only question
I have is can we at least have one run on an x86 platform with Linus
kernel so we have apples to apples comparison across all the major
platforms.
Thanks,
Vara Prasad
I am currently trying the 2.6.22-rc1 kernel. I have it built and tests running
on i686 machine.
I also built and installed it on x86_64. On the x86_64 I am seeing that things
are dying in __register_kprobe when the module attempts to install the probes.
Unfortunately this machine doesn't have serial port, so I will need to install
the kernel on an x86_64 machine with a serial port so I can get traceback.
I am currently running 2.6.21-rc6-git5. It would be a good idea if we
all ran the same version (or close if possible) on all platforms. I
suggest we just stick to the current stable Linus kernel. But I am open
to suggestions. The current stable version is 2.4.21.1
This also brings up the issue of configuration of the kernel the runtime does
take into account what is availble in the kernel, e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and
CONFIG_RELAY. Depending on configuration one kernel might work and another not.
