  • e3bcf5e27   lguest: avoid shared libraries mapped over guest memory ... Browse Code »

    Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest
    memory, so compile lguest statically by default.

    [ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
    physical memory. Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is
    for 2.6.24. ]

    -static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
    like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so

    S.Caglar Onur points out that many distributions don't ship a static
    zlib. Unfortunately the launcher currently maps virtual device memory
    where shared libraries want to go.

    The solution is to pre-scan the args to figure out how much memory we
    have, then allocate devices above that, rather than down from the top
    possible address. This also turns out to be simpler.

  • 8ca47e006   lguest: the documentation, example launcher ... Browse Code »

    A brief document describing how to use lguest. Because lguest doesn't have an
    ABI we also include an example launcher in the Documentation directory.
