1. Downloading

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



kmemcheck can only be downloaded using git. If you want to write patches

against the current code, you should use the kmemcheck development branch of

the tip tree. It is also possible to use the linux-next tree, which also

includes the latest version of kmemcheck.



Assuming that you've already cloned the linux-2.6.git repository, all you

have to do is add the -tip tree as a remote, like this:



	$ git remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git



To actually download the tree, fetch the remote:



	$ git fetch tip



And to check out a new local branch with the kmemcheck code:



	$ git checkout -b kmemcheck tip/kmemcheck



General instructions for the -tip tree can be found here:

As of version 2.6.31-rc1, kmemcheck is included in the mainline kernel.
