similar to: [PATCH v2 supermin 0/1] Fix embedding of init

The current approach of writing a custom assembler snippet has few issues: - the assembler needs to manually things like the correct section, disabling the executable stack, and so on - the symbols are global, and exported with an awkward interface (i.e. uint8_t offsets) - the assembler source is built with a manual rule - the embedded data is not properly aligned according to the needs of

Not all the architectures can cope correctly with unaligned data, and thus the embedded init written is bogus (since it will contain random padding at the beginning, and truncated of the same amount at the end). To overcome that, make sure the rodata section with the embedded init is always aligned to 8 bytes, which should work fine for both 32bit and 64bit architectures. --- src/bin2s.pl | 1 +

objcopy needs "output-target" and "binary-architecture" parameters which makes it necessary to keep a list of known architectures. The bin2s.pl script generates input for the GNU assembler which should produce an object file that is equivalent to that produced by objcopy. I have successfully tested the change on an amd64 Debian/unstable system. --- helper/Makefile.am |

v1 -> v2: - If we split out the init program into a separate init/ directory, that makes it much easier to build against an alternate libc. I tried to build against uClibc, but uClibc requires an entire build chain, which looked like it was going to be a massive ballache. Rich.

[https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809185] I see it as a reasonable simplification - it allows us

Document what each module does, using *.mli files. Remove the --dtb option, it's obsolete. Rename modules according to their purpose. Rich.

I have put a compile hack in for older distros and pushed it out as syslinux-3.62-pre16; for those who have reported compilation problem on older distros I would greatly appreciate if you could confirm if it works now (it worked for me on a CentOS 3.9 VM.) -hpa

Hi, I've recently started working on the syslinux package on Debian. I noticed there are a few patches applied to the Debian version which seem generally useful to me. Please consider merging them: * 0001-digest-sha.patch: It appears that "Digest::SHA1" has been superseded by "Digest:SHA". * 0003-extlinux-manpage.patch: Updates to the extlinux man page. *

Thanks. I'll try to get to these soon. On Oct 22, 2017 4:14 PM, "Lukas Schwaighofer via Syslinux" < syslinux at zytor.com> wrote: Hi, I've recently started working on the syslinux package on Debian.

Fix the build system to support a build directory different than the source directory: - fix the include path to gnulib - properly depend on and use files in the source directory - fix the ocaml dependency calculation, making sure it picks the files from all the places --- src/Makefile.am | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.am

hello everybody, apologies if I'm missing something here Just tried to build 6.04-pre1 test version with: make bios installer and found some problems all (seemingly) related to inaccurate paths in various Makefiles. I enclose a complete patch at the end of this email, which details the problems I found and how they got fixed for me. As an example, this is the first error I got:
