Geert, Thanks for that, the patch is quite small and still applies without too much effort to 2.6.17 (a lot of the rejects are whitespace/no change) Is there any reason not to merge this? Is it hackish or something?
I've only compile tested it here since it seems I can't run any guests kernels since I updated to gcc4.1.1/glibc2.4, but I will certainly revisit this code once mainline is fixed. As I mentioned yesterday, older kernels die with: "cannot set up thread-local storage: set_thread_area failed when setting up thread-local storage" And newer (~ 2.6.16 onwards) fail even quicker on my desktop: # ./kernel32-2.6.17.11-x11-fb ubd0=./FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...missing Checking for tmpfs mount on /dev/shm...nothing mounted on /dev/shm Checking PROT_EXEC mmap in /tmp/...OK Checking for the skas3 patch in the host: - /proc/mm...not found - PTRACE_FAULTINFO...not found - PTRACE_LDT...not found UML running in SKAS0 mode remove_umid_dir - actually_do_remove failed with err = -2 Geert Uytterhoeven wrote: > On Wed, 6 Sep 2006, Antoine Martin wrote: >> Just a thought, but how hard would it be to have a virtual device in the >> guests that mimics a framebuffer device and is in fact an X window on >> the host?
