hi ben ,
I tried to apply 2.6.13-rc6-B0/B1-all.diff to
linux-2.6.13 kernel with arm support patches . It's
getting applied cleanly...
but while building the kernel i am getting some build
errors ...
i traced the problem and get that this error are
coming because of some machine specific files.
1)arch/i386/kernel/semaphore.c
2)include/asm-i386/seamphore.h
So can you please tell me that whather any patch is
available, in order to support these implementation on
arm platform.
Or any development is going on in this direction
Thanks in advance
Vikas

How nice that you did not show the actual error message
and did not show your .config
Please read REPORTING-BUGS in kernel tree.

That's usual in the embedded world - it's a way that embedded folk seem
to write their bug reports to provoke a "response" (the content of the
response doesn't seem to matter, just as long as there is one.)
However, one also has to wonder - "2.6.13 kernel with arm support patches"
"arch/i386/kernel/semaphore.c". Why have "arm" patches been applied (and
what were they) and why i386 is being built.

Sorry for my mistake..

These functions are defined for i386 as well as x86_64
but for arm platform as above mentioned files (those i
mentioned in previos mails )are not present these are
giving errors ...
So i wanted to ask whether any patch is available for
it or not

$ grep aio_down fs/*.c
$ grep aio_down mm/*.c
$ grep aio_down . -r

The problem you're referring to does not appear to be present in
the mainline kernel sources. Maybe the AIO folk can provide some
pointers?

Nobody has done the work to add the aio_up()/aio_down() primatives for
arm yet, so you'll have to do that work for arm in order to use the
patches.
