Changelog for uml-patch-2.4.17-5.bz2

Release Date : Jan 11 2002

  • Merged Lennert's latest SMP changes.
  • Added James McMechan's partial read change to the io thread.
  • Fixed the hang caused by xterm failing to open the display.
  • Exported sys_open because UML actually calls the entry point rather than executing a trap instruction.
  • Copying stuff onto the user stack is now done with copy_to_user rather than with assignments.
  • last_ditch_exit is now installed SA_ONESHOT | SA_NODEFER so that a repeated signal will kill UML for sure.
  • Moved PAGE_PROTNONE into the arch bits and adjusted the swap entry macros accordingly. pte_to_swp_entry now masks off the arch bits so as not to confuse the swap cache code.
  • Added __clear_user which XFS needs.
