Message-ID: <20070711211638.GE18767@one.firstfloor.org> Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 23:16:38 +0200 From: Andi Kleen <andi@...stfloor.org> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@...stfloor.org>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Arjan van de Ven <arjan@...radead.org>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Chris Wright <chrisw@...s-sol.org> Subject: Re: x86 status was Re: -mm merge plans for 2.6.23 Well I spent a lot of time making the x86-64 timing code work well on a variety of machines; working around a wide variety of hardware and platform bugs. I obviously don't agree on your description of its maintenance state. > What contribution do we have from you instead? A week before the .23 I told him my objections privately earlier. Basically i would like to see an actually debuggable step-by-step change, not a rip everything out. If that isn't possible it needs very careful review which just hasn't happened yet. But I'm not convinced even step by step is not possible here. I thought it was clear that rip everything out is rarely a good idea in Linux land? That's really not something I should need to harp on repeatedly. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
