Related kernel patches. patch-2.4.2-persistent.gz Adds persistent data and generic string support to kernel 2.4.2 onwards. Optional. Changelog extract * Update to latest config.guess/sub from ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/config. * Add sh (super-h) support from Niibe Yutaka. * IEEE1394 support by Kristian Hogsberg, cleaned up by KAO. * Add support for Alpha GPREL16, GPRELHIGH, GPRELLOW relocs. Fix short data section allocation order for Alpha and IA-64. Don't relocate non-allocated sections. Richard Henderson. * Mark the kernel as tainted for non-GPL modules or insmod -f. That last addition goes with the MODULE_LICENSE patch from Alan Cox and my patch for /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, mailed to linux-kernel on September 25, 07:00 GMT. If /proc/sys/kernel/tainted exists and you load a module with no license you will get a warning and the kernel will be tainted, expect a lot of warnings until AC has all modules patched. Even if /proc/sys/kernel/tainted does not exist, loading a module that has MODULE_LICENSE other than GPL or using insmod -f will result in a warning. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 iD8DBQE7sDbFi4UHNye0ZOoRAqVVAKC3W5oq/RGiLbIUCbq2/w7jxMepagCfZclF RSchf8gvfuTJXRhfHg0I5q0= =F3yN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
