Subject: [uml-devel] 2.6.13.4-bs4 released - fixes for SKAS0 problems - careful about COW
Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2005 13:25:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200510151325.50461.blaisorblade@yahoo.it> (raw)
Ok, I've batched together the existing fixes and released -bs4.
It's really nice, it fixes various problems, as indicated on the website. But
it also restores the 2.6.12 COW format (see below) - so please beware to your
COW files!
Changelog follows
* -bs3 didn't apply on top of 2.6.13.3, because one of his patches was merged
in it. So remove it from -bs.
* CAREFUL : 2.6.13 kernel changed the COW format from all previous kernels in
an unintended way (and it wasn't our fault). -bs4 restores the previous
format, but this means you likely won't be able to use the same COW files
when switching from any 2.6.13 to -bs4; but -bs4 has the same format as any
<= 2.6.12 or >= 2.6.14 UML kernel.
* fix compilation of UML on x86_64 with SKAS0
* fix compilation of UML on i386 without SKAS mode
* fix SKAS0 mode assembly code - this could stop it from working on some old
GCC compilers (this happened, for instance, on GCC 3.2.3, and on RH 9).
