Subject: how to find when a symbol introduced into the kernel
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2008 18:11:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000b01c8ce6b$a7bfda50$f73f8ef0$@edu> (raw)
Hi all
To write multiple kernel version compatible programs, I need to know when a specific symbol (a struct or a function)were introduced in to the kernel tree
Binary search against multiple kernel sources is a way,but is still slow.Is there any fast way to use modern git technology to make my life easier?
Many thanks.
Best Regards
Zhaohui Wang
