OK, I straced UML booting and shutting down on a skas3 host, with and without the skas0 patch. I looked at the initialization, syscall interception, and page fault handing, and they are identical in the two runs: Initialization: access("/proc/mm", W_OK) = 0 write(1, "Checking for /proc/mm...found\n", 30) = 30 fork() = 25144 wait4(25144, [WIFSTOPPED(s) && WSTOPSIG(s) == SIGSTOP], WUNTRACED, NULL) = 25144 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) --- ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25144, 0, 0xbffff7e0) = 0 write(1, "Checking for the skas3 patch in "..., 49) = 49 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25144, 0, 0x823c100) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25144, 0, 0x823c1e0) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, 25144, 0, SIG_0) = 0 Syscall interception: wait4(25145, [WIFSTOPPED(s) && WSTOPSIG(s) == SIGSEGV], WUNTRACED, NULL) = 25145 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41888) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41938) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41b38) = 0 write(14, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 28) = 28 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41888) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41938) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, 25145, 0, SIG_0) = 0 Page fault: wait4(25145, [WIFSTOPPED(s) && WSTOPSIG(s) == 133], WUNTRACED, NULL) = 25145 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41888) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41938) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, 25145, 4*ORIG_EAX, 0x14) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, 25145, 0, SIG_0) = 0 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) --- wait4(25145, [WIFSTOPPED(s) && WSTOPSIG(s) == 133], WUNTRACED, NULL) = 25145 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41888) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_???, 25145, 0, 0x8a41938) = 0 ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, 25145, 0, SIG_0) = 0 With this, are you OK with skas0 being sent to Andrew?
