similar to: klibc-1.2 released as Stable

I'm wondering where things are on the roadmap for klibc and initramfs/early userspace. When will everything be harmonized with the kernel and be the default? What is left to do? I'm in my own little world, but I have a pretty good klibc/hotplug/udev/kinit early userspace that just works (for me). It's taken me a bit to get things to work because I just couldn't find all the

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

OK, I have just pushed out klibc-0.130; it significantly updates the run-init program (again... PLEASE TEST IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT) based on, but not identical to, Alexander's suggestions; it also adds s390/x patches from Arnd Bergmann. -hpa

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a cpio (extraction) implementation to klibc. Maybe this can be done in a way that the code could bet shared between klibc and init/initramfs.c in the kernel. Background of what I'm trying to do: I want to load an initramfs from flash on a number of different devices. The devices are quite similar but the partition in flash where the initramfs

Okay, as of this point, I think klibc is in quite good shape; my testing so far is showing that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for the kernel root-mounting code. That being said, there is guaranteed to be breakage, for two reasons: a. There are several architectures which don't have klibc ports yet. Since I don't have access to them, I can't really do them, either.

Well, as of right now, both Linus and Andrew have rejected klibc in the kernel based on "it doesn't add anything new" (Linus) and "lack of interest" (Andrew). It seems that there is little hope of getting it into the kernel any time soon, unless there is additional features, and/or people start actively asking for it. I would appreciate hearing suggestions. The

Hi, trying to build klibc 1.1.8 on x86 fails on my machine as follows: KLIBCCC dash/trap.o KLIBCCC dash/output.o dash/trap.c: In function 'trapcmd': dash/trap.c:94: warning: unused parameter 'argc' dash/trap.c:94: warning: unused parameter 'argv' dash/trap.c: In function 'decode_signal': dash/trap.c:398: error: 'SIGRTMIN' undeclared (first use in this

initramfs-tools version 0.117 requires 'readlink -f' and 'mount -o defaults' to work. The first two patches were previously submitted but not applied. Ben.

I just pushed out klibc-1.2.1; it actually has a working kinit. There are still pieces missing, but at least it works for ipconfig+nfsroot, which has been my test configuration. There is code to handle initrd already in kinit, but it hasn't been tested and so is almost certainly broken; I think the code to load a ramdisk from a floppy or other block device is not yet there. -hpa

Hi hpa & others. Following is a list of issues that I hope to be addressed soon so we are in even better shape for -mm inclusion. 1) rebuild initramfs when content changes. > It is a simple matter of copying in usr/Makefile from the latest > -linus kernel and replace the 10 first lines with the content from > klibc Kbuild file. 2) havesyscalls.h is not deleted after make

Dear all, I am using initramfs and from the kernel document, I know klibc. So i decide to use it. We are working on marvell pxa310 (bought from Intel), and with the tools chain from marvell, I comple klibc as follows: klibc-1.5> ln -s /home/zjujoe/svn/mhlv_2.6/working/songlixin/20081007_kernel_tflashupdate/ linux klibc-1.5>cat 1.sh export KLIBCARCH=arm export

Hi, I'm currently building an initrd for CRUX which will use klibc. But I don't want to install klibc to /usr, I just want to install the shared klibc and its header files to $DEST, build some utils against, link them dynamically and include both in the initramfs image. What's the best way to do this? Regards Matthias-Christian

Hi, Greg - I have a 2.5.70 BK repository, with klibc integrated, at: bk://klibc.bkbits.net/2.5-klibc This repo has the following features: * Completely up-to-date w.r.t. klibc itself. * Kbuild sort of happy, but still needs an eyeball from Kai to figure out why it always rebuilds everything in usr/. * Supports both IP autoconfig and NFS root from initramfs.

Hi Peter, I'm looking at using klibc for a small initramfs for our production servers as a way for us to change a bunch of sysctls at boot as well as handle root= logic. To make my life easier in our build environment, I'd like to build klibc outside of the linux tree and in an always clean source tree (potentially a read-only nfs share), so I'd like to extend the build to support

Hello! Can someone please help me in building debug version of klibc ? I've cloned git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git , but failed to build it with debug info added "-g" to HOSTCFLAGS in Makefile, but $ make -j KLIBCKERNELSRC=`pwd`/../linux-2.6/usr still strips every debug symbol , and i'm failed to change scripts/Kbuild.klibc and Makefile to remove strip
