patch-modutils-2.3.13.gz Patch from modutils 2.3.12 to 2.3.13
modutils-2.3.13.tar.gz Source tarball, includes RPM spec file
modutils-2.3.13-1.src.rpm As above, in SRPM format
modutils-2.3.13-1.i386.rpm Compiled with egcs-2.91.66, glibc 2.1.2
Changelog extract
* More gzipped objects changes by Willy Tarreau.
* Default to no backwards compatibility. See INSTALL if you want
modutils to run on 2.0.x kernels, if you want kerneld (died in 2.1.91)
or if your libc does not have create_module(), query_module() etc.
* IA64, s390 fixes.
* Redhat 486 patch.
* Redhat modprobe -k patch.
* Redhat kallsyms patch.
* Add mtd directory, aliases from David Woodhouse.
* Handle unaligned IA64 relocations.
* Fix for IA64 modules with no cleanup routine, Mike Stephens.
* Refuse to load modules compiled with -mconstant-gp.
CAUTION: This version changes the defaults on backwards compatibility.
Previous versions of modutils defaulted to supporting 2.[01]
kernels and used _syscall() instead of glibc. The default is
now no backwards compatibility and to use glibc. Those
hopefully few people still using 2.[01] kernels or libc
without modutils support will have to explicitly select the
old code, see INSTALL.
IA64 support has had more testing in this release. If modules are
compiled with "-mconstant-gp" then insmod or the module will oops every
time. IA64 modules must be compiled without -mconstant-gp, the kernel
can be compiled with or without -mconstant-gp, your choice. The test
patch below against 2.4.0-test1 should clean up the IA64 make.
insmod attempts to detect modules compiled with -mconstant-gp and will
refuse to load them. However current gcc for IA64 does not set the
EF_IA_64_CONS_GP (e_flags & 0x00000040) bit in the ELF header so insmod
cannot do its job correctly.
