This is the default, and it is enabled by the '--thread --no-chain-reply' options. Please try to get this to work again. b) it would be better to have a little shorter subject lines, to avoid line-wrapping in the list above. Here are some examples what you could use to replace the lines above: timekeeping: introduce struct itimerspec64 timekeeping: introduce current_kernel_time64() hrtimer: introduce hrtimer_get_res64() posix-timers: split up sys_timer_gettime() posix-timers: convert timer_gettime() to timespec64 In general, try to come up with the shortest description that uniquely describes what your patch does, and move any details into the longer patch description.
