[uml-devel] Problems with the SKAS patch and 2.6

[Steven Elliott <selliott4@austin.rr.com>]

I'd like to first thank you for creating a very valuable kernel 
debugging tool.  I wish more people knew about UML as a means of 
learning about how kernels work.

I may be overlooking something, but as far as I can tell it is not 
currently possible to apply any of the SKAS patches to 2.6.

The host-skas3.patch patch has several conflicts when applied to 2.6.  I 
attempted to manually port host-skas3.patch to 2.6, but I ran into a 
missing file or function (unfortunately I can remember what it was).

Also, it is not obvious what host-skas-2.6.0-test1.diff should be 
applied to.  It seems to somehow depend on code added by the 
host-skas3.patch patch, but first applying the host-skas3.patch patch is 
not sufficient.  If someone could regenerate host-skas-2.6.0-test1.diff 
such that it can be applied to a straight 2.6 kernel that would be very 
helpful.

Right now I'll assume that there are some technical problems with 
porting SKAS to 2.6, so it is not just a simple matter of shuffling code 
from the host-skas3.patch patch to the corresponding place in 2.6.

Also, my experience has been that debugging with GDB works better when 
SKAS mode is used.  So, you might want to mention that in either the 
SKAS page or the debugging page.
