There are no more dependencies on any other patchset. The modification only involved turning the immediate values into static variables and adapting the documentation accordingly. It will have a little more data cache impact when disabled than the version based on the immediate values, but it is far less complex. Since things have not moved much in the markers area recently (most of the concerns were about the immediate values), I expect it to be ready for 2.6.24. It applies to 2.6.23-rc7-mm1 Patches apply in this order: seq_file_sorted.patch module.c-sort-module-list.patch kconfig-instrumentation.patch linux-kernel-markers-architecture-independent-code.patch linux-kernel-markers-instrumentation-menu.patch linux-kernel-markers-documentation.patch linux-kernel-markers-port-blktrace-to-markers.patch Mathieu -- Mathieu Desnoyers Computer Engineering Ph.D. Student, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal OpenPGP key fingerprint: 8CD5 52C3 8E3C 4140 715F BA06 3F25 A8FE 3BAE 9A68
