The OSDL common includes RAS related enhancements, bugfixes, and latest version of drivers for the OSDL server test machines. Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) (Karim Yaghmour) Linux Kernel Crash Dump (LKCD) (Matt Robinson, LKCD team) Kernel Probes (kprobes) (Rusty Russell) Megaraid 2 driver (Matt Domsch) DAC960 driver (Dave Olien) The goal is to make these projects more robust and resolve potential overlaps. Also this set keeps up to date with the latest version of drivers for the disk devices that are present on the OSDL test machines. The DCL-only patch contains performance and tuning related enhancements. The goal is to use these for database performance tuning and give these projects more testing. 2.5.59-osdl2: .
