Hi! From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw(a)sisk.pl> The freezer currently attempts to distinguish kernel threads from user space tasks by checking if their mm pointer is unset and it does not send fake signals to kernel threads. However, there are kernel threads, mostly related to networking, that behave li... 7 May 2008 08:31

possible regression of ptrace on 2.6.26-rc1
Hi, When I tried the test case (ptrace-syscall-ret) on 2.6.26-rc1 kernel, found it always fails, but could pass on previous ones. Here is the result (both in x86 and x86_64 box): [wjhuang(a)10-182-121-27 single-test]$ ./ptrace-syscall-ret ../ptrace-syscall-ret: PTRACE_CONT, pid 17315, retvalue -1: No such pro... 7 May 2008 05:53

On a T60 I get occasional (but very annoying) audio skips while compiling kernels. No kernels (as long as I remeber) prior to this had any similar problems.
