Linux kernel patches
Random patches for the Linux kernel
fishcamp/sherlock
Set of patches for the 2.4.20-ppc-devel tree, to get the kernel running on
a custom hardware platform created by
fishcamp engineering.
Currently no patches
Vaio
Things to get my Vaio working under Linux better
The Vaio I own (XG-29) doesn't report changes of power status
(on AC versus battery) when you make an APM call to the BIOS. This
patch watches over the status, and kicks in if it finds out the BIOS
has been lying to us. From then out, power status changes will be
injected into the APM status stream from the kernel level.
A second version of the patch, slightly different, incorporating feedback
received.
The problem with both versions of this patch is that they incur extra calls
into the APM BIOS. On some platforms, such as several models of DELL
laptops, interrupts are disabled upon entry to the APM BIOS, and
bad things can then happen. Most common is a loss of timer interrupts,
causing the system clock to fall behind the true time.
This patch adds yet another Vaio laptop (PCG-XG29) to the list of those
having the APM minutes left swapping problem.
Merged into 2.4.9
Obsolete or merged
Patches that have been submitted upstream and accepted, or obsoleted by newer versions
of the code
Expand a few allocated buffers to fix a memstomp issue.
This patch addresses some changes for the POSIX/Linux socklen_t confusion.
Fixes a bug I noticed with a memset at the same time. Adds some headers where
needed, fixes some random warnings, etc. Unfortunately, some gratuitous
whitespace changes as well, making the diff a bit noisier than it should be.
Oh well.
