Here's patch to make uml compiles and run with 2.6.6-rc1. 1) Host 2.6.6-rc1 has 00-2.6.6-v0-host-SKAS2.patch.bz2 applied. 2) Guest has patch.2.6.5-uml1.fix applied, make mrproper ARCH=um, then patch.266rc1-1 applied. I fudged those filed to make it compile and run. Please verify. I know TASK_DEBUGREGS is incorrect, but since I don't use the debug mode, I simply set to 1 to make it run, but it may not be right if you need to debug uml. Hopefully someone can come up with a better patch. Thanks, Jeff |

hi! i tried to compile a 2.6.6-rc1 today - but it didn`t work for me. do i need additional patches besides the ones posted in jeff`s mail ? (jeffs patches seem really small sized - uml-patch is usually >100kb) applying 00-2.6.6-v0-host-SKAS2.patch.bz2 to a vanilla 2.6.6-rc1 kernel fails. applying the guest patches fails, too. i assume i missed another patch to apply to 2.6.6-rc1 befory applying jeffs patches OR jeff did a mistake OR kernel-2.6.6-r1 changed in the meanwhile (being trojanized on kernel.org?) :) can somebody help me to get a 2.6.6-r1-skas-host and 2.6.6-r1-uml running ? regards roland ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Chua" <je...@si...> To: "UserModeLinux" <use...@li...> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 4:04 PM Subject: [uml-devel] patch for 2.6.6-rc1 > > Here's patch to make uml compiles and run with 2.6.6-rc1. > > 1) Host 2.6.6-rc1 has 00-2.6.6-v0-host-SKAS2.patch.bz2 applied. > > 2) Guest has patch.2.6.5-uml1.fix applied, make mrproper ARCH=um, then > patch.266rc1-1 applied. > > I fudged those filed to make it compile and run.

You must apply uml-patch-2.6.4-1.bz2 (or the attached uml-patch-2.6.6-0) to the host and guest first before applying any other uml patches. The patches I sent earlier will apply up to 2.6.6-rc2. I've attached all these patches here again. Start with the "host" ... cd /usr/src /usr/bin/tar --use=bzip2 xpf linux-2.6.5.tar.bz2 ln -nsf linux-2.6.5 linux cd linux bzip2 -d -c patch-2.6.6-rc2.bz2 | patch -p1 bzip2 -d -c uml-patch-2.6.6-0.bz2 | patch -p1 bzip2 -d -c 00-2.6.6-v0-host-SKAS2.patch.bz2 | patch -p1 ... ready to compile "host" Now copy the above "host" to "guest" ... cd /usr/src mkdir uml cd /usr/src/linux; find . | cpio -pdum ../uml cd ../uml # undo the SKAS patch ... bzip2 -d -c 00-2.6.6-v0-host-SKAS2.patch.bz2 | patch -p1 -R # apply to get it to compile for 2.6.5 bzip2 -d -c patch.2.6.5-uml1.fix | patch -p1 make mrproper ARCH=um # apply to get it to compile for 2.6.6 bzip2 -d -c patch.266rc1-1 | patch -p1 ... ready to compile "guest" ...

I've got some problems of perfomance of my 2.6.3 guest kernel on a 2.6.5 host kernel on Gentoo. Reading as much as i can i think that could be a problem because i've not a SKAS3 patched host kernel ... so, where can i find a 2.6.5 SKAS patch or , much better , the 2.6.6 SKAS patch that is called above? thanks in advance Primero |

Well, we do not have a 2.6.6 stable kernel (there are pre-releases though),= so=20 you should use the 2.6.3 skas patch from here (which works even against 2.6= =2E4=20 and 2.6.5 perfectly). Read the instructions please! http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/ This is the URL for the exact patch file: http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/patches/host-skas3-2.6.3-v1.pa= tch Bye =2D-=20 Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 |

Hi Paolo/Jeff, >Please post the arch/um/kernel/config.c file the build produced, which gave >the error. The change to the "QUOTE" line is to be analyzed. i think the change to $$config =~ s/\\n/\\\n"\\n"/g probably was a mistake (i`m not good in regexes, though). it seems, that all the quotes and \n`s are being stripped from that file and so it`s no correct "c-source" anymore, imho. before: ---snipp--- static __initdata char *config = "#\n" "# Automatically generated make config: don`t edit\n" "#\n" "CONFIG_USERMODE=y\n" ---snipp--- after applying patch.266rc1-1 and running make again, it is: ---snipp--- static __initdata char *config = "# # Automatically generated make config: don`t edit # CONFIG_USERMODE=y ---snipp--- i changed the line in the Makefile back to: $$config =~ s/\n/\\n"\n"/g which made things better again. the error i reported is gone, but now "make linux ARCH=um" fails with: -> see make.log which doesn`t seem to be related to that change of the regex before. since this error looks "skas related" for me, i gave it a further try and disabled skas support in .config - after that, the compile for that "TT only"-UML runs fine for a while, but unfortunately it also fails in the end: -> see make_tt.log so still no 2.6.6-rc1 or 2.6.6-rc2 (tried both) for all interested here: i`m referring to this "build procedure": http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=108255364409540&w=2 regards roland ps: >probably because the PERL code needs to be quoted once more. err - i have a problem in understanding: why PERL code ? the statement is in arch/um/kernel/Makefile - is that being parsed by a perl interpreter during "make" - or does make just use similar language ? sorry if this sounds dumb - but i`m no developer and i never wrote a makefile myself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BlaisorBlade" <bla...@ya...> To: "roland" <for...@gm...>; "Jeff Chua" <je...@si...> Cc: "UserModeLinux" <use...@li...> Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 3:45 PM Subject: Re: [uml-devel] patch for 2.6.6-rc1 Alle 01:51, giovedì 22 aprile 2004, roland ha scritto: > hi jeff, > sorry, but it still doesn`t work for me. > i tried both kernel 2.6.6-rc1 and 2.6.6-rc2 sources to compile a guest > kernel. > > i have attached a log from what i have done - errors are at the end.
