similar to: Stack overflow: it's not a bug, it's a feature

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> When a COM32 module exits, the functions never return and a new call to ldlinux_enter_command is made. This could fill the stack and overflow on some data present in memory. This patch use setjmp/longjmp to return to the main function and restart from there when a COM32 module exits.

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> Hello there, I propose 2 patches that fix two possible stack overflows either when running a COM32 module or when loading a new config file. I didn't find a better way to do this than to use the infamous setjmp/longjmp functions to restore the stack to a previous state. This makes the logic a bit more complex, but the behavior is not

Hi Peter, The main part of this pull request includes commits that try to replace as many __intcall() invocations as possible. Some remain, but not many (and eventually they'll be gone too). There's also a patch to make better use of ld's --as-needed option and various other bug fixes/cleanups. The following changes since commit ff7334a2ce536b7f4b1f6d6f93ff4e285a3bd45a: Only

Peter, Paulo reported some problems with his config files under ISOLINUX and PXELINUX - basically TIMEOUT and TOTALTIMEOUT were broken. The patches I've pushed to the elflink branch fix this and also fix parsing of the ALLOWOPTIONS config directive.

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Here are the patches that I've got queued up based on the very helpful feedback I received from people testing Syslinux 5.00-pre9. Unless anyone has any concerns these will make it into Syslinux 5.00-pre10. Matt Fleming (9): pxe: Don't call open_config() from the pxe core ldlinux: Print a warning if no config file is found

Hello, The description of SYSAPPEND for the DMI information states that the spaces are replaced by underscores, but this replacement does not occur in 6.03. There's small bug present in triplicata in com32/elflink/ldlinux/readconfig.c:copy_sysappend_string(), com32/menu/readconfig.c:copy_sysappend_string(), and core/sysappend.c:copy_and_mangle() prevent proper replacement of spaces by

To remind you once again. ISOLINUX >= 6.00 built with GCC >= 5.0.0 causes a broken boot. This relates specifically to the use of the vesamenu.c32, menu.c32 works without problemos. This "code" is already in 6.03, therefore this is not a fix for it! Revert "SYSAPPEND: Fix space stripping" This reverts commit 3106dcd http://repo.or.cz/w/syslinux.git/commit/3106dcd Fixes

Hi, I picked up the following patches from Liu Aleaxander that he sent to the mailing list last year. They add some new features to the command line interface code and fix a couple of bugs. The following changes since commit 9ded45991b4fc83b40af963feb773ddca2589d74: ldlinux: Parse and store the "onerror" command line (2011-03-09 14:32:36 +0000) are available in the git repository

This is a small set of patches for elflink branch based on feng's elflink branch. hpa, It seems that I can't log on terminus by ssh at home. So I can't push these patches on my git tree. Liu Aleaxander (4): elflink: Cleanup some warnings elflink: Fix the wrong malloc size in enter_cmdline elflink: Do clear screen even if we have no pDraw_Menu method elflink: Add Ctrl-p +

OK, 6.01 is now out. The main intention of this release was to fix the terrible bug in Syslinux 6.00 which made it impossible to boot kernels from BIOS. This resulted in a way shorter than usual release cycle, and it does mean that there are some bugs that have been reported that haven't yet been fixed. Shortlog appended below. Thanks to everyone who helped test things out. --- Gene Cumm

Hi, The following patches are just copying some functionality that exists in the asm cmdline code into the C version. There's still a few more things to do but we're getting there. The following changes since commit 8c576f1fe03e34879921311f46613a35c6530000: Merge remote-tracking branch 'mfleming/for-hpa/elflink/fix-compiler-warnings' into elflink (2011-03-16 12:53:58 -0700)

Hi, I just pushed out changes that fix pretty much all the compiler build warnings on the elflink branch. Also, I've added "auto extension" support so that if the user doesn't type the file name extension it will automatically be looked up, e.g. now typing "ls" will execute "ls.c32".

Hi, These patches fix some compiler warnings in ldlinux and elflink. I've tried to split the patches out so that they only change one file or one type of problem at once. So, if they do inadvertently introduce any bugs it should at least be easy to bisect to a smallish commit. The following changes since commit 9ded45991b4fc83b40af963feb773ddca2589d74: ldlinux: Parse and store the
