Subject: [uml-devel] What to send to Andrew next
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 01:16:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200410220516.i9M5GwFL007932@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)

We've pretty much got -mm and -linus caught up with the updates that had been
sitting around.

At this point, my patch list is a mix of things that both are and aren't ready
for prime time.  So, I'd like opinions on what's ready.

The names below are the ones at 
	http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/patches.html

Here's my take on it:

Ready -
	catch_eintr_generic_console_write
	fix-some-warnings - some things left over from your patch
	need-bash - I changed the comment :-)
	syscall-returns - the start of the x86_64 stuff, this one cleans up
int -> long declarations in the system calls
	type-sizes - ditto for some other types
	syscalls - factors the system calls between generic and arch-specific
a bit better, I consider this safe because you can look at sys_call_table before
and after and see that they're the same
	tmp-exec
	defconfig
	smp-link
	fix-ptrace-interfaces - straightforward interface fixes
	no-chans - makes sure something hits the screen when someone makes
a bogus config
	no-timestamp
	comments

Uncertain -
	use-va_end - looks good to me, but have you figured out why it causes
crashes?
	export-Symbols - I need to look at that phys_t change, which doesn't
belong there
	Single_Linking_Step - leftovers, build linux, add archhelp, you
sent something like this to Andrew, so this may be essentially already there
	do_signal and the rest of Bodo's fixes - I want his test cases before
I send these anywhere, although the ones that make UML look like the other
arches might be OK.

Dangerous -
	3-level-pagetables and the rest of the x86_64 stuff

				Jeff
