This is version 2.4.34-pre4. Very minor fixes as well as a backport of the fix for CVE-2006-4997 by Dann Frazier. I'm pretty happy with the gcc4 fixes, a few people reported success and nobody complained yet. One of the OpenWRT developers offered to contribute MIPS patches from his project, but as I don't have a toolchain anymore, I will not be able to break them into pieces before merging them. I asked him to do all the dirty and thankless job, but I don't know if he will feel brave enough. I might try to perform an Alpha port when I receive my memory upgrade. If other people want to contribute gcc4 fixes for other archs, they're welcome, but *please* provide one patch per build error with the copy of the error in the commit. I will wait a bit more for fixes and will soon enter -rc as things calm down. If I find some spare time, I will release 2.4.33.4 with minor fixes, and even possibly resync the hotfix tree for users of older versions. Have fun, Willy Summary of changes from v2.4.34-pre3 to v2.4.34-pre4 ============================================ dann frazier: Backport fix for CVE-2006-4997 to 2.4 tree Geert Uytterhoeven: fbdev: correct buffer size limit in fbmem_read_proc() Jurzitza, Dieter: really fix size display for sun partitions larger than 1TByte Michael Chen: i386: fix overflow in vmap on an x86 system which has more than 4GB memory. mostrows@earthlink.net: Advertise PPPoE MTU PaX Team: MIPS: fix long long cast in pte macro i386: fix long long cast in pte macro Steffen Maier: block: fix negative bias of ios_in_flight (CONFIG_BLK_STATS) because of unbalanced I/O accounting Toyo Abe: x86_64: Fix missing delay when the TSC counter just overflowed Willy Tarreau: fix Configure.help concerning rp_filter Change VERSION to 2.4.34-pre4
