Gee... Talk about your "Pregnant Pause"... Okay, I'll soon have a multiple boot system that can be used to test performance of 2.4.4 with and without the patches. Before I devise a benchmark program to do so, does anyone have any thoughts about exactly *what* you would like to see tested? (e.g, a list of calls, a well known program, etcetera?) And, does anybody else have a similar situation on any platform other than i586 who would like to assist? The current patch looks very good, to me (layman's view), but, since I'm not a kernel hacker, I would like to look for "proof in the 'pudding'". The system I'm using is based on the RedHat 7.0 release, with the package upgrades suggested in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes installed, on an i586 with a bogomips of 199 (yes, it's slow, but it's there to be destroyed.) Also, if anybody is interested in helping with the documentation (Code->English/*) translation for this project so we can all end up with an authoritative document to help build/rebuild LSMs, I'm interested in getting started on that, so let me know.
