• a94b1d1fd   [SPARC64]: 8-byte align return value from compat_alloc_user_space() ... Browse Code »

  Otherwise we get a ton of unaligned exceptions, for cases such
  as compat_sys_msgrcv() which go:

  p = compat_alloc_user_space(second + sizeof(struct msgbuf));

  and here 'second' can for example be an arbitrary odd value.

  Based upon a bug report from Jurij Smakov.

• 202e5979a   [PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_t ... Browse Code »

  When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
  the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
  misunderstood :-)). This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
  with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
  bugs along the way.

  compat type type in compat arch
  __compat_[ug]id_t __kernel_[ug]id_t
  __compat_[ug]id32_t __kernel_[ug]id32_t
  compat_[ug]id_t [ug]id_t

  The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
  care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

• 0d77e5a2c   [PATCH] compat: introduce compat_time_t ... Browse Code »

  This patch is based on work by Carlos O'Donell and Matthew Wilcox. It
  introduces/updates the compat_time_t type and uses it for compat siginfo
  structures. I have built this on ppc64 and x86_64.

• 0ba4da03c   [PATCH] sparc64: Fix stat ... Browse Code »

  Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the
  nanosecond et al. fields added. So like Alpha I have to cons up a
  struct stat64 to get this stuff. I'll work on the glibc bits soon.

  Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc
  compat stat64 syscalls.

  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!
