At least for big endian systems, this mask is different on 32-bit and 64-bit systems (though the size is identical). Add a compat wrapper that converts the mask to whatever the kernel accepts, allowing 32-bit kvm user space to set signal masks. This patch fixes qemu with --enable-io-thread on ppc64 hosts when running 32-bit user land. Applied, thanks. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe kvm in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
