  • 676085679   [PATCH] introduce kernel_execve ... Browse Code »

    The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the
    __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ mechanism that stores the result in a global errno
    variable. As a first step of getting rid of this, change all users to a
    global kernel_execve function that returns a proper error code.

    This function is a terrible hack, and a later patch removes it again after the
    kernel syscalls are gone.

  • 6e1819d61   [PATCH] swsusp: userland interface ... Browse Code »

    This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.

    The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
    device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
    operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
     Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
    selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
    sectors of the resume partition are available to them.

    The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
    functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.

    The interface documentation is included in the patch.

    The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
    be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
    requested.

  • f220ab2a5   [PATCH] Improper initrd failure message at boot time ... Browse Code »

    On system boot up, there was an failure reported to boot.msg:

    Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed

    According to initrd(4) man page, step #7 of BOOT-UP OPERATION
    is described as below:
    7. If the normal root file has directory /initrd, device
    /dev/ram0 is moved from / to /initrd. Otherwise if
    directory /initrd does not exist device /dev/ram0 is
    unmounted.

    We got service calls from customers concerning about this failure message
    at boot time. Many systems do not have /initrd and thus the message can be
    changed in the case of non-existing /initrd so that it does not sound like
    a failure of the system.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
