=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, ok, next 2.6-WOLK release. Apply ontop of a vanilla 2.6.4 from kernel.org. Many thanks to Rik van Ballegooijen and all the other people sending fixes! =2E.. Have fun and a nice weekend :) BIG NOTE: =2D --------- We now have 5 addons in place, named: grsecurity2, Win4Lin, gobohide, SysTr= ace and finally the Staircase Scheduler by Con. I won't merge any of these patches into mainline 2.6-WOLK in the near future. You have to decide what addon feature you like to have :) ... Another reason is, I won't break users of 4g/4g, 4k stacks nor uml-skas3, currently a no-go with grsecurity. Apply an addon/the addons manually. All five patches are located in the patch its= elf in the ./ADDON-patches directory after applying the main patch. Apply as usual. wolk2.2 was never released (ok, it was available for some hours but I remov= ed it because it was broken. Therefore, changelog included too) KNOWN ISSUES: =2D ----------------- =2D - Loop-AES won't work with per-backing dev unpluggin code in WOLK. But fortunately loop-AES coders updated their code. So get the newest version before trying loop-AES with WOLK (includes also -mm tree) Changelog from v2.6.4-wolk2.2 -> v2.6.4-wolk2.3 =2D ----------------------------------------------- merged with 2.6.5-rc2 (Linus Torvalds) merged with 2.6.5-rc2-mm3 (Andrew Morton) - w/o 4k-stacks-always-on.patch (NVIDIA folks) - w/o bk-acpi stuff from 2.6-bk tree (broken) - w/ cpu detection for 2.6.5-rc1-mm2 (Manfred Spraul) - w/ "2.6.5-rc2-mm* machine won't boot" fix (Andrew Morton) o added: objrmap for file mappings (2.6.5-rc2-aa4) (Andrea Arcangeli) o added: anon_vma for memory unmapping (2.6.5-rc2-aa4) (Andrea Arcange= li) o added: prio trees (2.6.5-rc2-aa4) (Andrea Arcangeli) o added: morse code panic (Tomas Szepe) o added: VFS: Soft-/Hard Limit of file descriptors () o added: Maximum amount of unix sockets via sysctl () o added: Renice processes as a user in a special GID (me) o added: rICMP support (Nail) o added: improved fdmap support (Matt Miller) o added: ADDON: systrace v1.5 (Niels Provos) o added: ADDON: staircase scheduler (Con Colivas) (WOLK port by Rik van Ballegooijen) o fixed: fb colour used to clear top and bottom margins (Jakub Bogusz) o fixed: fb background used for "clear" terminal commands (Jakub Bogus= z) o fixed: ReiserFS v3 buffer refcount problem (Chris Mason) o fixed: ReiserFS v3 buffer head leak in invalidatepage (Chris Mason) o fixed: ReiserFS v3 bogus warning message about locked (Chris Mason) buffers during logging. o fixed: when CONFIG_IP_NMAP_FREAK was not set, the kernel (anonymous) did not reply to any icmp echo requests :( o updated: O(1) Batch scheduler for 2.6 (Rik van Ballegooijen) o updated: ReiserFS v3 extended attributes (Chris Mason) o updated: ReiserFS v3 POSIX Access Control Lists (Chris Mason) o updated: ReiserFS v3 Security Labels (Chris Mason) o updated: ADDON: grsecurity2 (Brad Spengler) o updated: netdev-random: Drivers v2.6.4 (Michal Purzynski) o changed: max loop devices to 32 (from 8) (me) o changed: max msg queue identifiers to 512 (from 16) (me) o changed: max semaphore identifiers to 1024 (from 128) (me) o removed: stupid/nonsense warning in Supermount (Rik van Ballegooijen) Changelog from v2.6.4-wolk2.1 -> v2.6.4-wolk2.2 =2D ----------------------------------------------- merged with 2.6.5-rc1-mm2 (Andrew Morton) - w/o 4k-stacks-always-on.patch - w/ "anti 2.6.5-rc1-mm2-is-dog-slow-patch" ;) (Jens Axboe) o added: O(1) Batch scheduler for 2.6 (Con Kolivas) (WOLK port by Rik van Ballegooijen) o added: O(1) ISO scheduler for 2.6 (Con Kolivas) o fixed: classic OOM killer (the default) compile error (Robert F=FChr= icht) o fixed: compile warning in rc-update.h with gcc 3.4 (Robert F=FChrich= t) o fixed: compile problems with gcc 2.95.x (me) o fixed: bootsplash breakage (Rik van Ballegooijen) o fixed: shfs compilation error (Rik van Ballegooijen) o fixed: PRAMfs compilation error (Rik van Ballegooijen) o fixed: SCSI oops() in -mm tree (Kai Makisara) o fixed: compile problems on ppc64 (Paul Mackerras) o removed: some SATA fixes (did not really fix anything) Todo =2D ---- o /proc restrictions w/o the need for grsecurity2 addon o madwifi o Linux Trustees o rsbac as an addon o menu cleanups o DRBD once it's ported to 2.6 o Bind Bount Extensions 0.05 o vservers for 2.6 once Herbert comes up with a patch o probably changing O(1) Scheduler addons to a config option o _____ <add more things if you want> md5sums: =2D -------- 02d50db9872e44f686dcc21361d019d3 linux-2.6.4-wolk2.3.patch.bz2 6fe224fd75e3c15b776b87a810dec2d4 linux-2.6.4-wolk2.3.patch.gz =2D -- Kind regards Marc-Christian Petersen http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk PGP/GnuPG Key: 1024D/569DE2E3DB441A16 =46ingerprint: 3469 0CF8 CA7E 0042 7824 080A 569D E2E3 DB44 1A16 Key available at http://pgp.mit.edu.
