To: user-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net, Subject: user-mode port 0.34-2.4.0-test11 Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 01:46:27 -0500 From: Jeff Dike <jdike@karaya.com> The user-mode port of 2.4.0-test11 is available. UML is now able to run as a daemon, i.e. with no stdin/stdout/stderr. The hostfs filesystem now works as a readonly filesystem. It's now configurable. I'm using it as a module. It ought to work compiled into the kernel, but I haven't checked this. I fixed a number of bugs. NOTE: If you compile from source, you must put 'ARCH=um' on the make command line or in the environment, like: make linux ARCH=um or ARCH=um make linux or export ARCH=um make linux This is because I've changed the top-level Makefile to build either a native kernel or a usermode kernel, with the default being native. This is in preparation for submitting this port to the main pool. The ARCH calculation is now this: # SUBARCH tells the usermode build what the underlying arch is. That is set # first, and if a usermode build is happening, the "ARCH=um" on the command # line overrides the setting of ARCH below. If a native build is happening, # then ARCH is assigned, getting whatever value it gets normally, and # SUBARCH is subsequently ignored. SUBARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ -e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/) ARCH := $(SUBARCH) If anyone has any objections to this going in the main pool, let me know, and also let me know what you would suggest as a fix.
