All,
I was wondering whether something like a /proc/patches might be useful. This could help list patches applied to a kernel such that "uname -a" and "cat /proc/patches" provides some good information about the kernel, especially stock kernels from distributions. I was able to work up a quick module available at the link below. NOTE: I couldn't solve how to add entries fo a patchlist structure using regular context diffs, but ed diffs work just great. More information in the README attached. I'd very much appreciate any feedback on whether this is useful and how it should actually be implemented, if at all. Please note that my only access to lkml traffic is via Kernel Traffic so I would appreciate being Cc'ed.
Thanks all,
-Erik (humble linux aficionado)
