I've gotten the source for the kernel I'm using, and put a bunch
of debug statements in the kernel/fork.c:do_fork routine (to
distinguish between all the ENOMEM returns) - but I'm not sure
how to compile it the Debian way.
I'm following instructions from
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html:
To prepare, I make a fresh new directory:
dpkg-source -x linux-2.6_2.6.32-34squeeze1.dsc
Apply patches:
/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/apply/debian 5
Make my changes:
cd linux-2.6-2.6.32
vi kernel/fork.c
Then when I try to compile:
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_amd64_xen
the build system applies the patches from -6 onward (which is bad,
I don't want this, but willing to see if the patches will be unapplied
in a later step), and failing and halting when it gets to a patch that
wants to edit fork.c.
I've tried removing the patches involved with -6 forward, but I
must have done it badly because now the patches from the beginning
through -5 don't apply cleanly.
So, I'm trying to figure this out ... any help would be appreciated
to get me moving forward more quickly. I'd really like to build
a kernel that matches all my modules so I only have to replace the
vmlinuz file for this test.
