=========================

COMPATIBILITY
|
|
|
|
This code is intended for use with Linux 2.0.xx and 2.2.xx.
|
|
Both libc 5 and libc 6 should work.
|
|
|
|
PS/TOP WCHAN FIELD
|
|
|
|
In past releases, in order to get WCHAN output for ps, you had to
|
|
have a psdatabase for each zImage kernel that you generated from
|
|
the vmlinux unstripped binary with /sbin/psupdate. With this release,
|
|
you should use the System.map automatically generated by Linus' makefile.
|
|
'ps' and 'top' will first use the contents of an environment variable
|
|
"PS_SYSTEM_MAP" and then look for System.map files along
|
|
the followin search path:
|
|
/boot/System.map-V, /boot/System.map, /lib/modules/V/System.map,
|
|
Here 'V' is the output of "uname -r" and looks like "2.2.0".
|
|
Don't forget the dash! In those same locations, remove psdatabase* files.
