Re: [uml-devel] Re: [uml-user] SuSE 9.1 host + 2.4.26 Kernel + GCC 3.3.3 similarities to 2.6.6!?

[uml <uml@dot1q.net>]

OOps.. can't 'strip linux' before using nm... heh

It was 786K so I compressed it to 168K and it's available at
https://p0lar.dot1q.net/theChanges.bz2

I compiled both cleanly with the only change I made from the default config
was turning on module support for both.

Here's a quick transcript of the procedure:

cd /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/linux-2.6.6
tar -jxvf linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.6
bzcat ../uml-patch-2.6.6-1.bz2 | patch -p1
make menuconfig ARCH=um
perl -e 's/-O2/-O2 -fno-unit-at-a-time/' -p -i.bak Makefile arch/um/Makefile
make linux modules ARCH=um
cp linux ../uml/linux-2.6.6-working
cd /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/linux-2.6.6
tar -jxvf linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.6
bzcat ../uml-patch-2.6.6-1.bz2 | patch -p1
make menuconfig ARCH=um
make linux modules ARCH=um
cp linux ../uml/linux-2.6.6-broken
cd /tmp/uml
nm linux-2.6.6-broken > broken.list
nm linux-2.6.6-working > working.list
diff -u broken.list working.list > theChanges
bzip2 theChanges

Let me know if you need anything else!

Wow! Now we know what to do... thanks a lot!

Well, thanks a lot for your effort and availability... but the
attribute_used
thing will be a series of little code changes, adding attribute_used to a
lot
of "static" simbols which gcc is somehow deleting. However, I cannot test
anything since I haven't the buggy gcc. Since you have, take a broken binary
and a working one (the only difference must be the -fno-unit-at-a-time
switch
in the right places) and run:

nm broken > list1
nm working > list2
diff -u list1 list2 > theChanges

and send me "theChanges" (I don't need nor want list1 or list2 for now, they
are too big maybe for a 56k modem to download). With that at hand, it will
take probably ten minutes for the fix.

Bye
