linux-toradex.git/arch, branch v2.6.12.3 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules [PATCH] uml: fix TT mode by reverting "use fork instead of clone" 2005-07-15T21:15:26+00:00 blaisorblade@yahoo.it blaisorblade@yahoo.it 2005-07-12T17:28:37+00:00 b050ac70a8b72a48a8ab3130c35dfe38850b668b From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>, Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has caused problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it shouldn't have been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion in the -stable tree. Anyone using this feature currently is either using some older kernel (some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this patch, as included in my -bs patchset. For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is to drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel). "Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork. They were essentially doing fork anyway. This cleans up the code a bit, and makes valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."

Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different
environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged
lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has caused
problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it shouldn't have
been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion in the -stable
tree. Anyone using this feature currently is either using some older kernel
(some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this patch, as included in my
-bs patchset.

For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is to
drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel).

"Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork.  They were
essentially doing fork anyway.  This cleans up the code a bit, and makes
valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."

[PATCH] ppc32: stop misusing ntps time_offset value 2005-07-15T21:15:24+00:00 john stultz johnstul@us.ibm.com 2005-07-01T05:08:54+00:00 8f399a7448e0b58eae969426f61b7e81d55d2639 As part of my timeofday rework, I've been looking at the NTP code and I noticed that the PPC architecture is apparently misusing the NTP's time_offset (it is a terrible name!) value as some form of timezone offset. This could cause problems when time_offset changed by the NTP code. This patch changes the PPC code so it uses a more clear local variable: timezone_offset.
