[11:38] <sacarde> hi
[11:40] <sacarde> can you help me to find, in kernel source, instructions that build bzImage from:
[11:40] <sacarde> vmnlinux + bootsect.o + setup.o + misc.o + piggy.o 
[11:40] <sacarde> ?
[11:40] <sacarde> is true?
[15:52] <jonf> hi, I have been having problems with the fadvise “willneed” system call when using it with large files recently - it was no longer bringing in the entire file (assuming available buffer cache pages) any more, just the 1st 2MB of the file. I have tracked this down to a change in mainline ( commit 6d2be915e589 ), and the discussion around it implies that mainline will stay with this change, but redhat and oracle may patch their kerne
[15:52] <jonf> is this something that Ubuntu would consider?
[16:19] <adamsmd> Upstream patch [1] makes wireless work on the "Lenovo ideapad Y700", and path [2] makes it work on the "Lenovo ideapad Y700 Touch".  It looks like [1] was backported to the Ubuntu kernel for 16.04 but [2] was not.  Would it be possible to get [2] backported as well?

[16:20] <adamsmd> (I am interested as I just got a "Lenovo ideapad Y700 Touch".)
