similar to: klibc kernel tree updated to 2.6.17-rc3

As some people have requested, here is klibc as a historyless patchset against 2.6.17. The patchset consists of two parts: changes to the main kernel code taken straight from the git history (as it is rather few patches), and additions, grouped by rough divisions. The majority of the patches are independent in the sense that they should apply independently, but Makefile/Kbuild files may have to

I have updated and pushed the klibc-kernel tree. "In theory" it should be a 1:1 replacement for any stock kernel, which kinit taking up the slack. Anyway, I haven't yet removed any in-kernel functionality, but that's hopefully coming; the in-kernel functionality won't be executed in either case. git://git.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/git/hpa/linux-2.6-klibc.git -hpa

I have finished the work of transmitting sparc64 ROM parameters to kinit via the file /arch.cmd in rootfs. The result is pretty nice, as it gives a clean interface for any other architectures which want to collect architecture-specific options at initialization time. I have also merged my tree with v2.6.17-rc5, although it was a completely orthogonal merge set. The following issues are

Im trying to get 2.6.17-rc4-mm1 (which includes klibc) working on an nfs-root setup. Its not working, so I started adding printf()s (not printk()s !) 1st thing I notice is arg5 is empty, but arg 6 is real I could imagine this unexpected situation confusing kinit (will check..) Or is that empty arg intentional, so that it marks the beginning of pxelinux addons ? kinit:main: init-arg 0: /init

I have just pushed out a git tree which actually has the root-mounting code removed from the kernel. Since there are any number of strange boot configurations out there, I would really appreciate any help in testing this stuff out. I have *NOT* implemented support for the following, which I'm hoping has fallen out of use by now: -> Setting boot flags via rdev, as opposed to on the

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,

Hello hpa, please pull from my debian klibc tree to kernel.org for minor fixes, that piled up after kernel.org shutdown, inluding a build fix against current linux 3.1. git pull git://anonscm.debian.org/users/maks/klibc.git scripts/basic/fixdep.c | 27 +++++++++++++-------------- usr/include/limits.h | 2 ++ usr/include/sys/file.h | 9 +++++++++ usr/include/sys/types.h |

Harcoding default content of initramfs in the gen_initramfs_list.sh script seems ackward. Move it to a file named: usr/initramfs.default This also fixes a small bug when no arguments was passed to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE (-d was passed twice to the script) Idea and bug report from: "H.

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

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
