Linux kernel release for the IA-64 Platform |
|
=========================================== |
|
|
|
These are the release notes for Linux since version 2.4 for IA-64 |
|
platform. This document provides information specific to IA-64 |
|
ONLY, to get additional information about the Linux kernel also |
|
read the original Linux README provided with the kernel. |
|
|
|
Installing the Kernel |
|
===================== |
|
|
|
- IA-64 kernel installation is the same as the other platforms, see |
|
original README for details. |
|
|
|
|
|
Software Requirements |
|
===================== |
|
|
|
Compiling and running this kernel requires an IA-64 compliant GCC |
|
compiler. And various software packages also compiled with an |
|
IA-64 compliant GCC compiler. |
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring the Kernel |
|
====================== |
|
|
|
Configuration is the same, see original README for details. |
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling the Kernel: |
|
|
|
- Compiling this kernel doesn't differ from other platform so read |
|
the original README for details BUT make sure you have an IA-64 |
|
compliant GCC compiler. |
|
|
|
IA-64 Specifics |
|
=============== |
|
|
|
- General issues: |
|
|
|
* Hardly any performance tuning has been done. Obvious targets |
|
include the library routines (IP checksum, etc.). Less |
|
obvious targets include making sure we don't flush the TLB |
|
needlessly, etc. |
|
|
|
* SMP locks cleanup/optimization |
|
|
|
* IA32 support. Currently experimental. It mostly works.
