I have now applied all 4 of these patches, with a few small changes in Documentation/laptops/ to account for hpfall.c being renamed to freefall.c and the problems with it having already been fixed by other patches. [testing] Documentation/vDSO/* does not build for me: HOSTCC Documentation/vDSO/parse_vdso.o HOSTCC Documentation/vDSO/vdso_test.o LD Documentation/video4linux/built-in.o HOSTLD Documentation/vDSO/vdso_test CC [M] Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.o /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 000000000040017c Documentation/vDSO/parse_vdso.o: In function `vdso_match_version': parse_vdso.c:(.text+0x48e): undefined reference to `strcmp' Documentation/vDSO/parse_vdso.o: In function `vdso_sym': parse_vdso.c:(.text+0x59c): undefined reference to `strcmp' Documentation/vDSO/vdso_test.o: In function `main': vdso_test.c:(.text+0x15): undefined reference to `getauxval' vdso_test.c:(.text+0x2a): undefined reference to `puts' vdso_test.c:(.text+0x3e): undefined reference to `getauxval' vdso_test.c:(.text+0x6a): undefined reference to `puts' vdso_test.c:(.text+0xa8): undefined reference to `printf' vdso_test.c:(.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `puts' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [Documentation/vDSO/vdso_test] Error 1 I have all of the others building and vDSO commented out for now. Any suggestions, ideas, or fixes? Also, I haven't checked each source file individually, but I expect that many of these are tools that could (should) be moved to $srctree/tools, if you or anyone else is interested in that.
