Linux Find Out GNU gcc Compiler Version Used To Compile Running Kernel

in Categories last updated December 11, 2017

I have multiple version of gcc installed on my Linux based system as follows:

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 11 05:20 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 239528 Sep 21 2010 /usr/bin/gcc-4.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 255536 Nov 15 2010 /usr/bin/gcc-4.4

I need to build a nvidia device driver using the same version of GNU compiler as was used to compile the currently running kernel. How do I find out the version of my GNU gcc compiler that was used by upstream Linux distribution to compile and pack my binary Linux kernel?

Linux list all IROs currently in use

Q. How do I list all IRQs currently used under CentOS Linux?

A.. There is a file called /proc/interrupts. The proc filesystem is a pseudo filesystem which is used as an interface to kernel data structures. It is commonly mounted at /proc.

This is used to record the number of interrupts per each IRQ on (at least) the i386 architecture. Very easy to read formatting, done in ASCII.

Display /proc/interrupts

Use cat or less command:
$ cat /proc/interrupts
Output:
