similar to: 2.6.17 released... merge window is opening

I'm trying to do a full rebase (history clean) of the klibc kernel tree, and came across the following changesets between klibc 1.3.12 and .16: --- a/usr/klibc/arch/s390/syscall.c +++ b/usr/klibc/arch/s390/syscall.c @@ -11,6 +11,6 @@ long int __syscall_common(long int err) { if ((unsigned long)(err) < (unsigned long)(-125)) return err; - errno = err; +

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.

I've published a git tree for the kernel-klibc merge. So far, not much has happened with it other than actually merging the repositories, but that comes next. The tree is at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hpa/linux-2.6-klibc.git -hpa

The klibc kernel tree is now updated to be based on 2.6.17-rc3, with a few improvements such as printing human-friendly device names in kinit. -hpa

klibc has been integrated into Andrew Morton's tree as of 2.6.17-rc4-mm1. This obviously means that it's going to be a high priority to fix bugs as they crop up. -hpa

Hello, Any updates on mips64 support for klibc? Can I do anything to help merging mips64 changes? ________________________________________ From: H.

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

hello, Preparing my first klibc maintainenace release. :) My plan is to have the patches cook in klibc-queue and once everythings is fine deploy them in the main klibc repo. Please test/review belows patches. I plan to release the current queue really soon for klibc 1.5.20 due to the urgent ipconfig fixes. For now you find my patch queue on:

[klibc] Simple test suite for klibc A very simple handful of tests for klibc. This is not by any means an exhaustive test suite, nor are most of the tests auto-verifying, but they are very useful to spot common porting problems. Signed-off-by: H.
