To: user-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net, Subject: user-mode port 0.32-2.4.0-test10 Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 23:53:23 -0500 From: Jeff Dike <jdike@karaya.com> The user-mode port of 2.4.0-test10 is available. The stack overflows seen in test9 are fixed. The stack is now allocated as four pages, the top two used as a kernel stack, the third is inaccessible and acts as a guard page, and the lowest page contains the task structure. Host devices can again be mounted inside the virtual machine. This was broken a few releases ago when I made the block driver check io requests against the device size. It will no longer crash if the main console is not a terminal. I fixed a race which was causing strange kernel memory faults. In the sources (the patch and cvs), but not the binaries, there is the beginning of a hostfs filesystem. This gives you access to the host root filesystem. Doing 'mount none /wherever -t hostfs' will mount the host root filesystem on /wherever. Right now, you can mount it and cd into it, but ls will crash the kernel.
