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.
