Greetings, Few days ago I compiled 241 random configurations of 2.6.13-rc3, today I finally got around to parsing the results, top 40, sorted by name. Percentage is error_builds / total_builds.
build script similar to: count=0 while [ $((++count)) -le $limit ]; do trial=$(printf %003d $count) make randconfig cp .config "$store/$trial-config" make clean make -j2 2> "$store/$trial-error" done Curious whether this is worth doing, I'm about to start a run for 2.6.12.3, any interesting errors I can find the particular config + error to recover context. Deliberately simplistic for traceability at the moment, truncated error length for this post. # Linux kernel version: 2.6.13-rc3 # Tue Jul 19 04:04:05 2005..Wed Jul 20 09:46:33 2005 241 runs in three sessions compile host 2.4.31-hf2 on: http://scatter.mine.nu/test/boxen/sempro/ data filter: http://scatter.mine.nu/test/scripts/count_errors-2.6.13-rc3.gz arch/i386/mach-es7000/es7000.h: error: field `Header' has incomplete type 4.9% arch/i386/mach-es7000/es7000.h: error: field `id' has incomplete type 4.9% arch/i386/mach-es7000/es7000plat.c: error: `es7000_rename_gsi' undeclared 4.9% arch/i386/mach-es7000/es7000plat.c: error: dereferencing pointer to incomp 49.7% arch/i386/mach-es7000/es7000plat.c: error: invalid application of `sizeof' 14.9% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: `DRM' declared as function return 24.8% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: `DRM' previously defined here 24.8% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: `arg' undeclared (first use in th 14.5% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: `dev' undeclared (first use in th 10.3% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: `filp' undeclared (first use in t 12.4% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: called object is not a function 26.9% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: redefinition of `DRM' 22.8% drivers/char/drm/gamma_context.h: error: structure has no member named `de 16.5% drivers/char/drm/gamma_drv.h: error: `DRM' declared as function returning 31.1% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lists.h: error: `DRM' declared as function returnin 18.6% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lists.h: error: `DRM' previously defined here 18.6% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lists.h: error: `bl' undeclared (first use in this 18.6% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lists.h: error: called object is not a function 8.2% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lists.h: error: redefinition of `DRM' 18.6% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lock.h: error: `DRM' declared as function returning 10.3% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lock.h: error: `DRM' previously defined here 8.2% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lock.h: error: `context' undeclared (first use in t 8.2% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lock.h: error: `dev' undeclared (first use in this 8.2% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lock.h: error: called object is not a function 16.5% drivers/char/drm/gamma_lock.h: error: redefinition of `DRM' 10.3% drivers/char/drm/gamma_old_dma.h: error: `DRM' declared as function return 10.3% drivers/char/drm/gamma_old_dma.h: error: `DRM' previously defined here 10.3% drivers/char/drm/gamma_old_dma.h: error: `filp' undeclared (first use in t 6.2% drivers/char/drm/gamma_old_dma.h: error: called object is not a function 18.6% drivers/char/drm/gamma_old_dma.h: error: redefinition of `DRM' 10.3% drivers/char/drm/gamma_old_dma.h: error: structure has no member named `ne 18.6% drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: error: (near initialization for `__ks 14.9% drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: error: __ksymtab_proc_ipmi_root cause 14.9% drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: error: `proc_ipmi_root' undeclared he 14.9% drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c: error: initializer element is not con 14.9% drivers/mtd/chips/amd_flash.c: error: structure has no member named `buswi 14.9% drivers/mtd/chips/jedec.c: error: structure has no member named `buswidth' 13.2% include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_apic.h: error: `phys_cpu_present_map' u 4.9% include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_apic.h: error: dereferencing pointer to 8.2% include/asm-i386/mach-visws/do_timer.h: error: `i8259A_lock' undeclared (f 14.1% Grant. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
