The patch below adds a page * argument to copy_user_page and

I would have never signed up for this list, or any other if it didn't give me at

A % in a version string might be quite reasonable. You are asking to have

Why is this? Because const data will be put in a different section?
However, quite some code defines const __init variables (see list below).
So what should be done now?

Causes a "section type conflict" build error, at least on x86.

Hy to all !
I am experiencing big problems using wait queues in a device driver
(module)
on kernel 2.4.3-20mdk (gcc version 2.96).
I dont know if this is the right place to ask for - but its my last hope...
The device driver i write is for a measuring device connected to parallel
port-
so i'm us

hi,
is there a sqrt function in the kernel? any other math functions?
i tried finding/grepping around, and found some various arch-specific

single file to look through with the various math functions?
thanks,
