Hi,

I am new to linux kernel. I am trying to make an uncompressed iso kernel image for linux 2.6 so that i can load kernel on some i386 emulator like qemu. I know that make bzImage makes compressed image.

can u please tell me if there is any way for building "uncompressed" bootable iso image for linux kernel?

Thanks in advance,
Sunny.

Hi,

i want to change the pseudo terminal of a running (or suspended) process.

i tried to set task->files->fdt->fd[0], task->files->fdt->fd[1], task->files->fdt->fd[2] to the new device file.

if ((task=find_task_by_vpid(pid)) != NULL) {

stdin = fget(0);
stdout = fget(1);
stderr = fget(2);

task->files->fdt->fd[0] = stdin;

Hello,

I need to make some kind of database of linux kernel procedure names and their argument lists. I need it for make some debugger. Is there any tool that allows to do it?
I need procedure name, number of arguments, type and size of the argument.
Any suggestions?

I am trying to work on implementing a new caching strategy. I have a list of particular processes I am to manage the cache for. When a page is to be evicted via "shrink_page_list" I want to use that page and obtain the process ID, and see if that ID is in fact one in my to-manage list. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate a routine to find the mapping between page to process ID.

Is it possible to use inotify to get updated about changes in sysfs attribute?

How can I create a New Thread in the Linux Kernel

I have a netfilter hook that changes some of the contents of the tcp header for all packets that fall in NF_IP_FORWARD category. Before passing on the packet, I need to of course calculate the TCP and IP checksums again, but I am unable to get the TCP checksums right.
Here are a few of the things i tried.
tcph->check = tcp_v4_check(len, iph->saddr, iph->daddr,
csum_partial((char *)tcph,

My embedded platform has two Silicon Images 3531 controllers. I'd like to force any attached sata devices [sda, sdb] to controllers 0 and 1 respectively. But if no device is attached to controller 0, then 'sda' will get assigned to the second controller. Seems like a simple problem but I've been wading through the libata code for a while.

Hi,

I am using kernel 2.4.25 for mips board.
-> Its having 8MB Flash + 32MB RAM. And I mounted tmpfs to /tmp, ideally by default /tmp has to be atleast half of actual RAM, and its showing the same (checked via df).

But while copying files to /tmp I am getting Kernel Panic after copying some 6.5MB of data

Hi,

I searched the internet and didn't find any hint towards wrong frequency information regarding new kernels. I am running a Debian/lenny with vanilla 2.6.29 kernel.
cat /proc/cpuinfo shows:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 23
model name      : Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU      E5300  @ 2.60GHz
stepping        : 10

I am writing a kernel module, one requirement is that I need to judge a process currently (or before it's switched if it's not in RUNNING state) is running on kernel mode or user mode, please kindly tell me the not-so-hackish way (e.g, does Linux kernel provide some functions or macro to tell?). Thanks a lot!

Is there any way to get list of block devices (especially hard disks) in a kernel module?
