[uml-devel] uml-patch-2.6.3-rc2-1

[Jeff Dike]

This patch updates UML to 2.6.3-rc2.  This breaks with my usual practice of
ignoring test patches.  However, when I updated my UML tree, I had forgotten
that my stock Linus tree was up to 2.6.3-rc2.  I took this as a sign from a
higher power that this was Meant To Be.

As well as catching up, there are some bug fixes and cleanups -
	modules should now work
	worked around a process start time bug
	fixed a bug which caused ps to divide by zero

The 2.6.3-rc2-1 UML patch is available at
	http://www.user-mode-linux.org/mirror/uml-patch-2.6.3-rc2-1.bz2

BK users can pull my 2.5 repository from
	http://www.user-mode-linux.org:5000/uml-2.5

For the other UML mirrors and other downloads, see

I'm still receiving the "NET: Registered protocol family 2" hang using
this kernel, FYI.

Is there a workaround for this?

You seem too serious about your maintainer role! You have started writing 
announces in The Way Linus Torvalds Does It (tm) :-) !

However, in my opinion what this higher power wants is that you post this 
(with the needed changes) to Andrew Morton and that he includes it in 2.6.3!
And dropping the tty-uml-something piece.

About the R_386_* macros needed for this, they are defined twice in the patch 
(archparam-i386.h and elf.h; they should be for now in elf.h, and in the 
future in elf-i386.h since they are architecture-specific).

About this, I have a doubt: do you upload only the releases there (as in 2.4's 
cvs) or also the single changesets? You could do the second by tagging the 
releases (I don't use BitKeeper, but CVS allows it, and BitKeeper is by far 
more sophisticated), so that users can use the stable version. Waiting for 
new features to get little bugfixes (the long long host_hz, for instance) 
sometimes is tiring. And not knowing what is in the repository and what was 
merged (sometimes mails are confusing).

Also, you could probably ask Andrew Morton to upgrade from your repository for 
mm patches, as he does for various other BitKeeper trees (he said "just ask 
for this special treatment"); you would only need to drop even from the stock 
patch the /proc/mm support for nested UML's (which is not at all a bad thing, 
since it's not used heavily while nested UML would need testing).

I just wanted to report that your patch also applies and compiles
cleanly to 2.6.3-rc3:

It also applies cleanly to 2.6.3.
