46 | kmemcheck can only be downloaded using git. If you want to write patches | 46 | As of version 2.6.31-rc1, kmemcheck is included in the mainline kernel. |
47 | against the current code, you should use the kmemcheck development branch of | ||
48 | the tip tree. It is also possible to use the linux-next tree, which also | ||
49 | includes the latest version of kmemcheck. | ||
50 | |||
51 | Assuming that you've already cloned the linux-2.6.git repository, all you | ||
52 | have to do is add the -tip tree as a remote, like this: | ||
53 | |||
54 | $ git remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git | ||
55 | |||
56 | To actually download the tree, fetch the remote: | ||
57 | |||
58 | $ git fetch tip | ||
59 | |||
60 | And to check out a new local branch with the kmemcheck code: | ||
61 | |||
62 | $ git checkout -b kmemcheck tip/kmemcheck | ||
63 | |||
64 | General instructions for the -tip tree can be found here: | ||
