I'm interested in reports if it works (with e.g. skype/acroread/...) or not (I may have missed some stuff...). It may panic your system in the worst case, this is only build tested on i386 (but on current with gcc 4.2). So if someone could do a build test on amd64, this would be very nice. A "make universe" would be very good too, I would like to know if something breaks on pc98 or alpha. You need to grep for "Error 1", to be sure that there's no build failure, as the universe ignores some errors. If it runs without panicing your system, feel lucky and try to run the ltp tests (see http://wiki.freebsd.org/linux-kernel for more about this). Be prepared that this may panic your system... I'm interested in the results of the ltp run (the ones in the automatically created results directory with the name as specified with the -l option). It would be really create if you could send a diff between a previous (unpatched -stable system) and the patched version. The patch is at http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/linuxolator/linuxulator_mfc.diff Note: if nobody tests (I need all of the above mentioned tests), there will be no MFC. And this is what is contained in the patch: ---snip--- MFC: - kern_descrip.c rev 1.296, syscallsubr.h rev 1.41 by jhb: Add a kern_close() so that the ABIs can close a file descriptor w/o having to populate a close_args struct and change some of the places that do. - sync linuxulator (bugfixes + minor syscalls): * mmap fixes * fix memleaks * add mprotect/iopl/lstat/ftruncate/statfs64/timer_*/mq_* * more errno value mapping * don't limit number of syscalls to 255 * allow to exec libs * ioctl TIOCGPTN * handle more socket options * de-COMPAT_43-ify * add dummy syscalls so that we know what is needed (reports from users) * style(9) - sync linprocfs * proc/sys/... part ---snip--- Bye, Alexander. -- It would be illogical to kill without reason -- Spock, "Journey to Babel", stardate 3842.4 http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID = B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID = 72077137
