I thought you wanted to test it first - although I've been running with this for a while now, my nightly builds have masked out the mcount warning, and I suspect it'll take a while for ccache to purge itself of the modified objects. If you're happy to add a stable tag to it, then please do so.

I'll let you know the results. Takes several hours.

If there was anything wrong with this patch, I'm sure one of my tests would have crashed by now. Do you want to take it, or shall I?

You missed a word. Is it: "makes more sense if *you* take it" or "makes more sense if *I* take it" ?? Or you could be replying to my sentence of "take it" or "shall I" in which it would be *you* take it. /me confused -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
