Apparently nobody has been doing it for a while. :-) Last time I did it it was around the submission time and I actually patched it into mainline kernel to do so. Not particularly hard to do, but sitting in mm-only does make it a bit harder, and there are the vdso problem you just mentioned that one has to fix for himself if it exists in mainline. > It does have the downside that the kernel explodes if someone adds > unlikely or likely to the vdso code and I need to occasionally hunt > down new additions and revert them in that patch.
