Description Richard W.M. Jones 2014-07-25 10:21:31 UTC

Description of problem:

On x86-64:
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=18

On ARM64:
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=14

This is annoying because messages scroll off the log buffer
very easily :-(

ARM64 machines have plenty of memory, so there seems no reason
why we shouldn't have a larger log buffer.

The patch is trivial:

diff --git a/config-arm64 b/config-arm64
index be0c3cb..b7e7bf1 100644
--- a/config-arm64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-3.16.0-0.rc6.git1.1.fc22

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-07-25 10:22:43 UTC

Actually I think the patch is to remove that line completely
so it inherits from config-generic.

Right.  Adding the ARM guys on CC to weigh in.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-10-21 10:12:03 UTC

This is a -1 line patch.  What can I do to get this actioned?  Can
I just push the fix myself?

I'll change it in today's rawhide build.
