similar to: klibc structure in the kernel

I'm still pondering with kbuild and klibc. Next in line was to get ipconfig support in the kernel (build wise). A little challenge that is bigger than anticipated was to create a shared executable. This required a far bigger rewrite of Kbuild.klibc than originally planned. The good part is that I now managed to treat linking of objects with single and multiple .o files almost the same.

some files depend on nodes.h, but there is no dependency for that fact. olaf@mandarine:~/klibc-0.87> grep -Er 'include.*nodes.h' ash/ | sed 's-^[^/]\+/\([^.]*\).*-\1.o-' | xargs echo OBJ_NODES = OBJ_NODES = cd.o eval.o exec.o expand.o jobs.o main.o nodes.o options.o parser.o redir.o show.o trap.o var.o make spotless doesnt work reliable, the patch adds a few more targets. Is

This fixes a long standing issue where it was not possible to do "make usr/klibc/arch/x86_64/longjmp.o" in the kernel. The principle is that all .o files to be part of klibc are listed with klib-y. For each directory a klib.list file is made that specify all .o file and the final AR then adds all .o files to create libc.a. This patch introduce the infrastructure and converts x86_64 to

Various coding style fixes checkpatch warns about. The goal is not to be 100% checkpatch compliant, but to have more consistent coding style. As this is a trivial patch serie, will land in 24 hours in klibc git, unless of course ml review hits a bugger. Checked with size(3) that the generated kinit, fstype, ipconfig and nfsmount are the same. maximilian attems (4): [klibc] ipconfig: reduce

hello hpa, nothing particular stands out, just syncing with latest Debian upload and subsequent patch emails. please review merge or nack. thanks :) maks git pull git://git.debian.org/~maks/klibc.git maks for the changes: Aaron Griffin (1): [klibc] kinit: skip md assembly if mdX exists Colin Watson (1): [klibc] mount/umount FUSE support Harald Jenny (1): [klibc] fstype:

So, today, I'm using kinit from our initramfs to handle early boot up sequence. Our init is actually a shell script that does a some setup stuff (plugging values into appropriate proc files mostly), and the script currently passes on to kinit by finishing with "exec /kinit "$@"". I have a situation now though, where due to some ubuntu weirdness, I seem to need to do

hello hpa, pushed out new patch queue :) It contains the sync with latest dash git, renaming of some README's to ease their packaging, sparc32 socket test and a sh4 fix by Debian porters (numbers of changes is huge, but mostly contained in dash). git pull git://git.debian.org/users/maks/klibc.git maks initramfs-tools seems happy with that version of dash, saw no regression on boot test with

Hello what is the difference between busybox and klibc? Say, I want to use an initramfs in order to mount root over nfs, I can choose to use klibc with ipconfig and nfsmount? But I can also choose to use busybox with ifconfig and mount. So what's the difference, and why and in which case one is preferable to the other? If it's a FAQ, I'm sorry, just give me the link Thanks

hello hpa! added on top of queue ext4 fix, that Ubuntu is carrying from cjwatson. Got missed out in previous pull requests. Btrfs recognition in fstype. the patch queue contains sync with latest dash, sh4 fix by Debian porters, dprintf usage in ipconfig, kinit and nfsmount instead of buggy DEBUG macro. ipconfig memcpy usage to avoid strict aliasing warnings. Some interesting README's got

several errno.h for no good reasons. cleanup losesetup which is not using getopt_long, thus doesn't need getopt.h included. Move stdarg.h include up in losesetup to more proper place.

Hi , I am doing some tests with klibc 1.1.16. I would like to have my root file system on an nfs export , but the /etc folder it to be mounted from a different nfs export. I am using 2.6.15.1 with initrd ramdisk initramfs nfsroot etc compiled in. My pxelinux.cfg looks like this: default opteron label opteron kernel gentoo/vmlinuz-opteron append initrd=gentoo/initramfs.img ip=dhcp

The following patchset implements 3 seperate series of changes. External Building ================= Patches 1 through 8 enable to use of klibc's build system while leaving the src tree pristine (and potentially read only). Specifically: - srctree=<Sources for klibc> - objtree=<Ouput directory for klibc> - KLIBCKERNELSRC=<Kernel sources> - KLIBCKERNELOBJ=<Kernel

Hi!! I found your ipconfig stuff in the udev rpm in SuSE 9.1. I'm about to setup a initramfs (pretty cool - much better than initrd) to boot linux diskless clients over the net. All the tools I would need, seem to be there with ipconfig/nfsmount ... I like to use the information I get from PXE/syslinux or Etherboot writing something like:

The following patches come from Debian and/or Ubuntu packages of klibc. Ben.

The stdio klibc branch got merged into klibc properly, meaning the I/O being buffered. klibc gained with it support for several stream functions. This massive work got authored by hpa. ipconfig saw several note worthy enhancement allowing the generation of a proper lease file. kinit added fs mount according to /etc/fstab or bootparam. Plus several arch fixes for the usual suspects: alpha, i386,

Hi Bryan and other klibc people. I have taken a stamp on the Makefiles for klibc, this is what I came up with. 1) No longer recompile on every invocation 2) Correct checking on dependencies 3) Simpler makefile syntax (almost all over the place) I compile-time tested it only. Two open issues: a) Do we realy use .a files for initramfs. I renemed that to the executable. b) I renamed

This patchset applies to klibc mainline. This patchset introduces the ability to kinit to execute scripts or executable files present in in the initramfs before switching over to the root filesystem. This functionality is implemented in a newly introduced run_parts() call, which calls scandir() to iterate through files which in then executes in sequence. run_parts() is also available as a

Enough small fixes have pilled up to make it worth a release: A Google patch adds sched_setaffinity, sched_getaffinity support. Openembedded uses kexec_load(). Gentoo folks add a Kbuild fix. ipconfig no longer wild guesses a nameserver when none is provided by the DHCP server. strndup() and unlinkat() saw fixes for various problems. codingstyle cleanup in kinit and tools. git repository:
