Hello all,
With the 2.4.0 kernel, there were 476 CONFIG options which had
no help entry in Configure.help. With 2.4.2-ac18, this number is now 547,
which has been kept this low with 54 options getting Configure.help text.
The bottom line is that since 2.4.0, there are 125 new CONFIG options w
As of 2.4.2-ac18, there are two CONFIG options which have two entries

These are CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TCPMSS and CONFIG_DEBUG_IOVIRT.

The second, CONFIG_DEBUG_IOVIRT, has a se

It appears that use of CONFIG_NCR885E was removed in 2.4.2-ac2,

This patch, against 2.4.2-ac14, removes CONFIG_NCR885E from Configure.help.
It appears that use of CONFIG_PCMCIA_SERIAL_CB was removed in
2.4.2-ac12. The two files affected were Config.in and the Makefile

I ran dbench 48 four times in succession for 2.4.0 and 2.4.1-pre8.
The change in performance appears to be not significant.

I got the following error while building 2.4.0-ac9:
shmem.c:971: `shmem_readlink' undeclared here (not in a function)
shmem.c:971: initializer element is not constant

I ran dbench 48 four times in succession for the following
recent kernels. It looks like there may be a slight drop
in performance for -ac5. For -ac4 and -ac5, the throughput
dropped on run #3. That's probably just a fluke. I'll repeat
these runs later when I get a chance.

It looks like 2.4.0-test13-pre7 is a clear winner when running dbench 48
on my somewhat slow test machine (450 Mhz P-III, 192MB, IDE).

Changing the order of a few lines in linux/drivers/ieee1394/Makefile fixes
this problem. Here is the patch:

Results for SMP 2.2.18 vs SMP 2.4.0-test12 are in.
I repeated my earlier tests on a much faster dual P-III machine.
