Oh, I agree also. I don't think any of the high-res-timers support patches belong in the tree. For testing and verifying the system calls, however, it is nice to have them. It is easy to do the patch and then move the whole directory as this is the only thing in it.
I might suggest, however, that we should have a regression test set for the kernel "somewhere". Does such a thing exist? I haven't seen it, but then I have yet to see a great number of things ;) -- George Anzinger george@mvista.com High-res-timers: http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/ Preemption patch: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
