From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Mosberger Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 21:37:34 +0000 Subject: [Linux-ia64] kernel update (relative to 2.4.0-test4) Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Here is a long overdue kernel update. There relative diff I usually provide would have been too big (and hard to read) to include in this mail, so I'm just providing a summary of changes and the full diff, relative to the official 2.4.0-test4 kernel can be found at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/linux/ports/ia64/ as usual. The filename for the current patch is: linux-2.4.0-test4-ia64-000714.diff.gz Summary of changes: - latest IA-32 fixes by Don Dugger (Don, can you check sys_ia32.c? I changed the way utime() is implemented. Also, I still think it would be a good idea to try to make the mmap emulation good enough so that it can be used for loading IA-32 ELF binaries. Some code for doing that is there now, though it's probably not complete.) - clone2 system call is there now (works like clone, except that it specifies the stack memory area explicitly via a starting address and size) - simplified kernel configuration for HP Simulator (Ski) by removing options that don't make sense - probably a couple of other things I already forgot about---check patch for a complete reference... ;-) Enjoy, --david
