| |
I'd like to annouce that there are two new interesting vendor kernels available on the kernelnewbies vendor kernels page (http://www.kernelnewbies.org/kernels/). Both unfortunately don't use the traditional organization of multiple pathes agains ta base kernel release but were tarballs that I had to diff against known kernel release.
In detail they are:
(1) The NEC kernel for their IA64 machines.
Interestng here are their VM changes and a NFS extension for shared storage called GFS (it's different from Sistina's filesystem of the same name)
(2) The kernel from TimeSys 3.1 demo release
This one is really interesting, it features a completly new scheduler architectured around hooks to their propritary real time kernel and heavyweight mutexes (e.g. with priority inheritance) that replace Linux spinlocks. These architecture probably violates the GPL, but I'd like to hear some more opinions on people who actually read the code before bothering TimeSys about this issue. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
