Is there an equivalent to "top" which shows how much memory the kernel is using of it's 1GB? I know that /proc/buddyinfo provides some insight into this, but I haven't found any tool that offers "human-readable" information.

Hello All,

I want to know a information regarding ARM processor, I have enabled swap partition for while compiling the kernel.

I want to know how does the H/W knows the page is not present in the RAM so that it raises an exception which makes it to copy from the swap if the page is swapped out.

I know there is a bit pgd_t pte_present, But I am not sure

1) who updates this bit

I have a system that uses sata_via and sr_mod for my cd-drive. This causes the following problem:
Apr 16 08:21:43 (none) kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
Apr 16 08:21:43 (none) kernel: ata1.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:10:f8/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 dma 63504 out
Apr 16 08:21:43 (none) kernel: cdb 2a 00 00 00 19 a1 00 00 1b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Well, I am having problem in writing msg on this forum. As it detect my simple text msg as spam. And now its saying the msg from this IP address are automatically blocks and reported as spam.

what should be done?

am using 2.6.12.6 kernel on my embedded system with 32Mb SDRAM and
no swap partition. My embedded system has support of FTP server and
USB mass-storage. Now I try to put a large file (>50MB) from windows
machine (connected via ethernet to Linux s/s running FTP server) onto
the flash drive which is attched via USB. Sometimes the file transfer
suceedes but most of the time the OOM comes.

Hello everybody,

I am using system calls in my kernel modules. It was working fine when i was using kernel version 2.6.20. However, since I have update my kernel to 2.6.27. It complains about those (sys_open, sys_read) symbols.

using this article as reference ....

Any ideas ! !

Hi All,

I am currently doing porting work from CAVIUM based code to linux 2.6 kernel. As per my requirement I have to port the below piece of code to linux 2.6.9

----------------------------------------

void NHNPGetNTPTime(struct timeval strTv, unsigned long *ntpLsw, unsigned long *ntpMsw)

{

#ifdef CAVIUM
double dLsw;

Hi,

I was doing some debugging of my Linux-based target.

The PC value showed that the function executing is do_futex. I derived the thread_info and
task_struct pointers of "current" using the value of kernel stack-pointer.

The state field of task_struct showed that the process is in state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

I used the example firewall from the openbsd faq:

lan_net = "192.168.1.0/24"
int_if = "em0"
ext_if1 = "fxp0"
ext_if2 = "fxp1"
ext_gw1 = "192.168.10.1"
ext_gw2 = "192.168.20.2"

# nat outgoing connections on each internet interface
nat on $ext_if1 from $lan_net to any -> ($ext_if1)
nat on $ext_if2 from $lan_net to any -> ($ext_if2)

# default deny
block in from any to any

Hi,

I've put the linux to the embedded device. It use RedBoot bootloader to load the kernel and I can't change command line parameters that are provided to the kernel.

Now the params are: console=ttyS0,38400

What I need is: console=ttyS0,38400 root=/dev/mtdblock2 ro

Hi,

I'm having problems trying to get WDM to run under NetBSD5. Startx works and a fluxbox session opens without problems, mouse working and everything.

XDM kinda works. Login screen appears, accepts username and password and loads a fluxbox session. Only problem is now the mouse doesnt work.

Hello,

I'm trying to dump a byte code from binary kernel module using objdump:
