Hello, here are some of our current patches that I consider appropriate for mainline:
patches/check-symvers.diff Warn when building external modules without modversions Users often try to build additional external modules without compiling the whole kernel first, and without the Module.synvers dump file. This results in modules without modversions, which can be dangerous. patches/default-configuration.diff Don't use the running kernel's config file by default Targets such as menuconfig fetch their default configuration from the running kernel if .config doesn't exist. This often is the wrong thing. Don't look at the running kernel for the usual configure commands. Instead, add a new cloneconfig target (see next patch). patches/cloneconfig.diff Add cloneconfig target This fetches the configuration from the running kernel, and configures the kernel source tree based on that. patches/mod_param-typeinfo.diff Include type information as module info where possible This patch was on the LKML before; it should have been merged but got lost. patches/remove-buildenv-paths-from-binaries.diff Don't include absolute filenames in binaries When building RPMs, we don't want build environment specific path names to appear in binaries.
