We're using a lot of different kernel configurations on our servers running Gentoo Linux and Linux VServer. Kernels' configs depend on hardware and functions of every server. Every time new kernel is released and/or we need to enable/disable some features for all servers' kernels we have to update .config's manually.
Any one please send the UNIX Architecture which specifies how the UNIX Operating System handles all the System Calls.
Dear friends,
I have hacked a kernel and created a module that invokes some functions from this kernel. The mods work perfectly on my workstation, but I'm having several problems on a 64bit server which runs the exactly same Linux distribution.
The distro is a Ubuntu 7.04 and the kernel is 2.6.20.3-ubuntu1.
The only difference is that my workstation is i686 and the server is x86_64.
Hi, i am trying to hook readdir call in proc filesystem.
struct file_operations *fops;
fops = proc_root.proc_fops;
readdir_old = fops->readdir;
fops->readdir = readdir_new;
But, proc_root is no longer exported. So, how can I get it?
(No System.map, /dev/kmem ...)
Thank you
I am trying to write a MAC driver for Arm 11 MPcore in 2.6.23. The DMA'ble memory required is supposed to be non-cached for performance reasons.
A chunk of memory(~ 6MB) is allocated at startup using bigphys area patch. This physical area in the RAM is mmap'd to userspace as follows and thereafter carved into network buffers:
fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR|O_SYNC);
I faced the following error once in my linux machine:
swap_dup: Bad swap file entry
What this error indicates?
Hi I am trying to compile a new kernel (2.6.9) so that I can install rtlinux however when I run sudo make bzImage I get the following error:

Hi All,
I have query regarding exposing SCSI target with file system & data on it. I am using 32-bit machine.
Hi
I have a system that consists of 14 processoes .Under high load one processor shows 100% usage and rest show normal behaviour.Driver is NAPI compliant.So is it a driver issue or scheduler issue?. Kernel is 2.6. The output of "top" commands show that the cpu that is 100% consumed is running ksoftirqd and it is 0% idle and 100% SI.
Interrupts are evenly distributed over the system
