How should one synchronize customized kernel patches?

http://stackoverflow.com – I maintain a customized kernel, also I provide patches that you can use directly for major version of kernel source code, now I got a classic problem, I developed the patch based on 3.7.8 kernel, as newer version 3.7.9 is out, I had to develop the patch for 3.7.9 as well, but how should I do this quickly? Right now, I download the whole source code of 3.7.9, migrate the code to new version of kernel manually, and generate the patch from newer kernel source. That looked stupid and inefficient. ------------------- A -------------------- | My 3.7.8 kernel | ---> | My 3 (HowTos)

Hi!

I am running a fresh FC17 install and need to patch and recompile my kernel for RT functionality. The RT patches only comes for some versions (patch-3.4.10-rt18.patch.gz being the latest one).

I tried to follow this guide

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Buildi...Get_the_Source

to get the Fedora kernel source, but it does not explain how to get a specific kernel version.

I've recently built a kernel for my Intel i7 basically using this guide modified to build the 3.5 kernel with patches from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/.

can you anyone tell what the linux patch is? I want to install a real time kernel, so to compile the kernel first I need to add the downloaded real time patch to it :

patch -p1 < patch-rt-version

but what about the kernel's own patch? as I've seen when I download the kernel from kernel.org, the kernels patches are also in the same kernel folder.

I encountered a bug in one of the newer kernel versions. There is no workaround; if I want to have sound at my system at all, I have to boot an older kernel version.

Hello, I am new to the world of submitting and applying kernel patches and have some basic questions about how this all works.

I have read the article: http://lwn.net/Articles/406978/ Which talks about a patch for PTP hardware clock support. I want to know where the thread is that discusses this patch to ask about further development. I also want to know where I can download the patch itself?

I noticed that Ubuntu modifies it's i386 kernels so that CPU's that don't support PAE+NX are capable of 'emulating' this. Now these patches are called the 'nx-emu' patches. I saw this in the patchlog of the stock Ubuntu kernel.

However, the kernel of this computer (from my parents) is pinned down to kernel 3.4 because nouveau fully works on this specific version.

I have an approximately 1500 line patch for the Linux kernel - introducing a new file system.

I have lots of problems with posting a patch straight to the kernel mailing list (gmail mangles the patch/it's very long/no easily apparent way to break the patch up except by hand etc)

I don't want to use git format-patch as it generates a long, long series of patches, many of which are junk (eg debug

This Kernel is compatible with all HTC Desire C, thanks to cute_prince for finding a way to disable version checking, so stock HTC modules work in whatever version of current kernel you use or have in your Desire C, there will be no wifi errors.
