Hi Chase ! Unfortunately, your patch have been mangled by your mailer our your mail gateway in about every possible way (word wrapped, tabs and whitespace damaged etc...) I'll hand apply this time around but please, look into fixing your setup :-) Cheers, Ben. > http://bzr.linuxfoundation.org/lsb/devel/runtime-test?cmd=inventory;rev=stewb%40linux-foundation.org-20090626205411-sfb23cc0tjj7jzgm;path=modules/vsx-pcts/tset/POSIX.os/files/truncate/ > > Signed-off-by: Chase Douglas <cndou...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > > diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/systbl.h b/arch/powerpc/include/ > asm/systbl.h > index 370600c..3cca167 100644 > --- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/systbl.h > +++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/systbl.h > @@ -95,7 +95,7 @@ SYSCALL(reboot) > SYSX(sys_ni_syscall,compat_sys_old_readdir,sys_old_readdir) > SYSCALL_SPU(mmap) > SYSCALL_SPU(munmap) > -SYSCALL_SPU(truncate) > +COMPAT_SYS_SPU(truncate) > SYSCALL_SPU(ftruncate) > SYSCALL_SPU(fchmod) > SYSCALL_SPU(fchown) > diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/sys_ppc32.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/ > sys_ppc32.c > index bb1cfcf..da9a65b 100644 > --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/sys_ppc32.c > +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/sys_ppc32.c > @@ -343,6 +343,12 @@ off_t ppc32_lseek(unsigned int fd, u32 offset, > unsigned int origin) > return sys_lseek(fd, (int)offset, origin); > } > > +long compat_sys_truncate(const char __user * path, u32 length) > +{ > + /* sign extend length */ > + return sys_truncate(path, (int)length); > +} > + > /* Note: it is necessary to treat bufsiz as an unsigned int, > * with the corresponding cast to a signed int to insure that the > * proper conversion (sign extension) between the register > representation of a signed int (msr in 32-bit mode) > > _______________________________________________ > Linuxppc-dev mailing list > Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org > https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
