2.6.18-emission1: Pathological Euphoria

vipernicus · 2006-07-28 19:55:32

E-Mission Sources is based on the Lockless Pagecache by Nick Piggin, GenPatches, and CK.

The main goal of this patchset is to stay updated with gentoo-sources releases,
offer latest features, decrease latencies, decrease overhead, and improve interactivity. Another
goal of E-Mission Sources is stability. We boot test each release and run for an extended amount of time.

/* Notes */
New version of genpatches, more Thinkpad related patches, added grsecurity for security conscious users, and alot of cleanups and bug fix patches.

All problems you have been having with -emission4 and -emission5 are cleared up with this release.

Might see if I can get this up on AUR this weekend.

tomk · 2006-07-28 20:41:33

Presumably, you'll have a word with Vins first? He's the current owner of emission in the AUR.

Yes we have agreed to mutually work together for emission sources.

funkyou · 2006-07-29 09:46:07

I already have a PKGBUILD for -emission5 ready...
I`ll post the link in AUR when i have tested it (currently buildung...)

dtw · 2006-07-29 10:40:29

Can we stick to one thread for this patchset, please? Everybody else seems to do just fine making announcements in one thread so you'll have to make do too.

Better yet...get a wiki page or your own site set up ;P

aweosme

can you also check is the suspending is working?

funkyou · 2006-07-31 11:45:09

Well, building emission5 failed with this errors:

Ok, no prob, I'll make sure to keep announcements for emission-sources in a single thread. Sorry.

newgargamel · 2006-08-01 17:08:34

What is a difrence between beyond and emmision? Thx

brazzmonkey · 2006-08-02 09:58:28

@newgargamel :
emission-sources features the Lockless Pagecache by Nick Piggin. this is supposed to improve performance.

i successfully built the kernel (it took me some time to figure how to build 3rd-party modules such as rlocate - i wish there was an easy way to rebuild modules such as gentoo's modules-rebuild script...).

my computer crashed at first run, but has been working flawlessly since. just my 2 cents.

/me chuckles at the placebo effect

Are there numbers for this anywhere?

brazzmonkey · 2006-08-02 20:25:09

here.
all i can say from my own experience is that this kernel makes quite a responsive system, though i have no idea if this is lockless pagecache-related.
hence i wrote "supposed to". try it, judge by yourself...
anyway it that it doesn't seem to do any harm...

Released 2.6.17-emission6: Shock Treatment

dtw · 2006-08-07 13:16:08

I wouldn't change the first post everytime - I'd just post the new update in the thread and link to it from the first post. Of course you should change the title but if you don't change the first post and post in thread the comments in the thread will follow the most recent release

iphitus posted this a while ago - might be a good place to start.

djpharoah · 2006-08-07 17:15:23

I have made a pkgbuild for emission6 as well as the ati-fglrx (8.27.10) and the latest madwifi drivers.

I need someplace to host them - since the AUR packages arent being maintained by me.

EDIT: I forgot that I maintained he madwifi drivers. Thus its now on AUR. However ati-fglrx-emission and kernel26emission still havent made it on there.

Going to talk to the maintainers.

c00l !

djpharoah · 2006-08-07 18:49:00

Here are some files.

kernel26emission - This is an update for 2.6.17-emission6.
ati-fglrx-emission - This is an update for ati-fglrx 8.27.10 for the emission6 patchset.

NOTE: These files will soon be added to AUR when the original maintainer Vins gets back to me. Then the links above might or might not work.

whargoul · 2006-08-07 21:50:22

Sounds good, can't wait to test it sometime.

djpharoah · 2006-08-08 01:42:43

tried the pkgbuild i made this afternoon to find that the link for the patchset is broken..

waiting for vipernicus to change/fix the link..

Update #1: Tried out the pkgbuild - there is an error in it which will cause the package to fail. Wait for an update.

Update #2: Replace the PKGBUILD inside the archive for kernel26emission with this one.

Update #3: Ok...PKGBUILD is still not working . lol. Im tired as hell.. will give this another try tomorw.

E-Mission Sources is based on the Lockless Pagecache by Nick Piggin, GenPatches, and CK.

The main goal of this patchset is to stay updated with genpatches releases,
offer latest features, decrease latencies, decrease overhead, and improve interactivity. Another
goal of E-Mission Sources is stability. We boot test each release and run for an extended amount of time.

/* Notes */
Latest kernel patch, new version of genpatches, new version of lockless, and alot of cleanups and bug fixes.

New feature implemented called: "E-Mission Tunables". It was derived from the idea of the customizable timeslices for Staircase that Tiger683 had released for nitro-sources. What I did was, I took that idea, and moved it to the next level. I do realize that these tunables could be set in sysctl.conf, but I personally like the idea of my own custom starting point. I would appreciate your input on this new feature.

Example of new E-Mission Tunables (All but Custom are preconfigured options):

E-Mission Tunables  ---> 
( ) Server
( ) File Server
( ) Compute Server
( ) Desktop
( ) Low Latency Desktop
( ) Custom

Custom Menu:

E-Mission Kernel Tunables (Custom)  --->
(6) Minimum Round Robin Timeslice (in milliseconds) (NEW)
(19) Factor For Default Value (NEW)
(1) Interactive CPU Scheduling (NEW)
(0) Compute CPU Scheduling (NEW)
(80) Percentage CPU For SCHED_ISO Tasks (NEW)
(66) Percentage RAM Filled With Mapped Pages (NEW)
(1) Hard Mapped Limit (NEW)
(1) Tail Large Files (NEW)
(0) Dirty Ratio (NEW)
