Hi all. Proposal for directory structure in the kernel: usr/include <= _all_ include files usr/include/{net,sys,..} usr/include/arch/$(ARCH) <= arch specific include files *1 usr/klibc <= klibc files usr/klibc/arch/$(ARCH) <= arch specific config and files except include files usr/kinit <= program integrated in the kernel usr/kinit/nfsmount <= used by kinit,

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 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

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.

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

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:

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:

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

Hopefully I should be up to date with all patches; haven't integrated the module-init-tools, and some of Erik's patches didn't make it for different reasons, which hopefully can be resolved soon. If you have sent another patch which I haven't applied, please do let me know. -hpa

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

I have just released version 2.0.7. This is available in the git repository at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git and as a tarball at: https://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc/2.0/ This new release fixes build regressions with Linux 5.1 and with binutils 2.32. The klcc compiler can again generate stripped executables even if klibc is built unstripped. An

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

As a new co-maintainer of klibc, I have just released version 2.0.5. The git repository remains at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git A tarball will be available from the usual place later, but I'm not currently able to upload there. This new release fixes various build and run-time failures with current versions of Linux, gcc, and binutils on mips, sparc and x86; and
