Thanks to this, we managed to merge some of these patches (see http://free-electrons.com/community/contributions/kernel-contributions/), but it's true that some patches / ideas haven't been merged yet. > > I have a bunch of local tiny-patches for 2.6.32: > > tiny-scsi-ioctl.patch > Get rid of unconditional compiled scsi_ioctl.o > add/remove: 0/8 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 0/-3596 (-3596) > tiny-fb.patch > Shrink modedb, get rid of fb-related sysfs, removes misc > other functions that I don't need in an environment where > the framebuffer never changes it's mode > add/remove: 0/29 grow/shrink: 0/6 up/down: 0/-4876 (-4876) > tiny-config-net-small.patch > Adds CONFIG_NET_SMALL > add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 7/4 up/down: 28/-2756 (-2728) > tiny-namei-inlines.patch > Uninline various namei.c functions > add/remove: 2/0 grow/shrink: 0/8 up/down: 584/-2024 (-1440) > tiny-crc.patch > Calculate CRC32 without tables > add/remove: 2/0 grow/shrink: 0/10 up/down: 584/-2356 (-1772) > tiny-ldiscs.patch > Configurable no. of TTY line disciplines (I use 4 instead > of 16) > add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-64 (-64) > tiny-max-user-rt-prio.patch > Configurable no. of realtime priority levels (I use 5 > instead of 100) > add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-840 (-840) > > ... but would be grateful for a source of more stuff like this ! > Would you have time to submit these patches to the LKML? This would be very useful, and if you CC the linux-embedded mailing list, you should get support from our 3 embedded maintainers. Otherwise, if you don't have enough time, please send them to me and I will upload them on the Linux-Tiny page, and will take care of them as soon as I have time. Thanks, Michael. |
