similar to: Fixed the "elflink" branch

I have pulled in Stefan Bucur's updated elflink branch into the main Syslinux repository as the "elflink" branch, and fixed a couple of minor issues. Note in particular that I have *not* run Nindent over the sources... I will leave that to Stefan and Klaus unless there is a compelling reason to. Please note the following, however: int foo(); ... in C doesn't mean a function

This is a small set of patches for elflink branch based on feng's elflink branch. hpa, It seems that I can't log on terminus by ssh at home. So I can't push these patches on my git tree.

Hi everyone, I have pushed out a development preview release of Liu's filesystems in C code (including ext4 support for EXTLINUX). It is called 4.00-pre1, which doesn't mean it is the final 4.00 by any means (it isn't even current with respect to some aspects of the 3.8x branch.) However, it is now available for people to try out. It is checked into the fsc branch

Well, people... I have just merged the "fsc" branch (filesystems in C, largely the work of Liu Aleaxander) and the "elflink" branch (dynamic modules, the work of Claudiu Mihail and Stefan Bucur) together... I haven't tested anything other than it compiling, but it actually does compile. There are almost guaranteed to be issues that I have missed, but well, we get to

Hi, The following patches are just copying some functionality that exists in the asm cmdline code into the C version. There's still a few more things to do but we're getting there. The following changes since commit 8c576f1fe03e34879921311f46613a35c6530000: Merge remote-tracking branch 'mfleming/for-hpa/elflink/fix-compiler-warnings' into elflink (2011-03-16 12:53:58 -0700)

Hi guys, I just looked over liu's code as of today, and it looks pretty good; obviously you have gotten a huge amount of work done already! However, in the short term, we will most likely not have memory management -- malloc/free -- available in the core (making that possible is part of KlausM's project, but I want to decouple those.) The code currently uses malloc() in disklab.c, which

Hi all, I have released a technology preview version of the elflink branch as sylinux-5.00-pre1. It is basically functional but definitely has a fair share of rough edges. Nevertheless it would be great if people would be willing to test it out and let us know what works and doesn't work... -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel.

Hi, I recently ran into an issue where the dependencies generated in modules.dep created a circular reference, which meant that qemu spun forever in modules_load_dependencies(). I did think about detecting this kind of circular dependency at modules.dep generation time but if we ever move to using DT_NEEDED to track dependencies we would need this functionality in the elflink core anyway.

Hi, I picked up the following patches from Liu Aleaxander that he sent to the mailing list last year. They add some new features to the command line interface code and fix a couple of bugs. The following changes since commit 9ded45991b4fc83b40af963feb773ddca2589d74: ldlinux: Parse and store the "onerror" command line (2011-03-09 14:32:36 +0000) are available in the git repository

Hi, These patches contain support for some features that are already in Syslinux 4 but weren't working properly on the elflink branch. It's another step closer to feature parity with Syslinux 4. Having to jump through the comboot API for localboot support is less than ideal and I'll eventually fix that, probably when we move a big chunk of code from asm to C. Also, there's a

I have changed the branch names around to better match current reality. The branches are now: syslinux-4.xx -- 4.xx maintenance branch (former master) syslinux-5.xx -- 5.xx maintenance branch (former elflink) master -- development branch (6.xx, former firmware) Hopefully this will help avoid further confusion. -hpa

Peter, Paulo reported some problems with his config files under ISOLINUX and PXELINUX - basically TIMEOUT and TOTALTIMEOUT were broken. The patches I've pushed to the elflink branch fix this and also fix parsing of the ALLOWOPTIONS config directive.

Hi, These patches fix some compiler warnings in ldlinux and elflink. I've tried to split the patches out so that they only change one file or one type of problem at once. So, if they do inadvertently introduce any bugs it should at least be easy to bisect to a smallish commit. The following changes since commit 9ded45991b4fc83b40af963feb773ddca2589d74: ldlinux: Parse and store the

Hi, I merged ldlinux.asm and extlinux.asm on the fsc branch, observing that there were very little difference between them left. So far, so good. I found, however, a test which fails on the fsc branch (with or without the merge.) I have tracked it down to vfat_mangle_name() overwriting a bunch of random .bss16 memory, eventually including the CallbackSP variable.

Recently a patch by HPA was added to the elflink branch, "isolinux: Clear upper half of EDX before using..." http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=870b84dd8714d dfccc9288025331423efa6d76b7 The patch was then applied to the firmware branch too. The patch solves an issue introduced by a prior commit "isolinux: Update LBA in getlinsec loop". Since the

Hi all, I have pushed out Syslinux 4.00-pre20, which includes support for running out of a new working directory: if a directory is given on the append line to a "config" statement, that will now be considered the new working directory. The "pathbased" branch is now the active development branch for Syslinux 4. With this checkin, I now expect that the major restructuring
