linux-toradex.git/arch/um/os-Linux/start_up.c, branch v4.2.7 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules um: Remove SKAS3/4 support 2015-04-13T19:00:53+00:00 Richard Weinberger richard@nod.at 2015-03-18T20:31:27+00:00 d0b5e15f0c0fdd759dd3dd48dc2dc2e7199e0da0 Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space). TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago. SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old. With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches), default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
