[John Morris]

This patch exports the uts_sem symbol in the 2.6.27 kernel which is needed for ibcs-3.7.

Exports uts_sem symbol for ibcs.

Hello
I have already used the ABI patches, which is to compile the kernel and run patch-p1-l-i ../linux-abi-2 .... Then I wondered if it was the same or similar.

Have something like a manual that explains how to use the patch

Apologize for the inconvenience but if I had something I explain the difference between linux-abi and IBCS 3.X

thank you very much in advance

Hi, jsmithoracle,

This patch was to be applied to the 2.6.27 kernel, to mark a variable, uts_sem as an exported variable so the ibcs-3.7 modules could access it. Previous versions of the kernel had it exported already.

You likely no longer need this patch with newer kernels and newer ibcs.

linux-abi basically accomplishes the same thing as ibcs, but linux-abi is meant to be patched into the kernel, which ibcs is distributed separately and can be built as modules without patching the kernel - except it the case where one would need this kernel patch ;)

then if I wanted to use your package, what would the procedure.

Have you any step by step.

thanks in advance
