User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021224 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Linus Torvalds , Linux Kernel CC: Jakub Jelinek Subject: glibc binaries w/ sysenter support Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org After quite some fiddling we finally have some glibc binaries with sysenter support. The problems were not in the sysenter code but in coordinating everything in ld.so so that it works on old kernels (without TLS support). Anyway, the result can be downloaded from ftp://people.redhat.com/drepper/glibc/2.3.1-25/ These RPMs are drop-in replacements for the ones in the last Red Hat beta, released about a week ago. They haven't been tested in any other environment. They also use NPTL as the default libpthread. As is the case with every beta release code, do *not* install them on production machines. We see no problems with the new code but your mileage may vary. If you see problems ideally file them in Red Hat's bugzilla (remember these are RH-specific binaries). Alternatively send reports to libc-alpha@redhat.com. If you suspect the problem is related to the kernel side you know where to post. -- --------------. ,-. 444 Castro Street Ulrich Drepper \ ,-----------------' \ Mountain View, CA 94041 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `---------------------------
