Hi, I've been looking at backporting modify_ldt() for the linux emulator from -current to -stable (I need it to run the IBM java VM, they are claiming to come within 13% of the performance of the Windows JVM!) But before I get into it over my head, is this feasible? I've been looking through the code, but the necessary calls. sysarch(): i386_get_ldt() and i386_set_ldt() are only defined in machdep.c, while in -current they seem to have moved to a more generally available location. So would this be relatively straightforward to do, or will I end up modifying code all over the kernel? Regards, Marc. PS. Another question worth asking, did someone succeed in running this thing on -current? If you want to try, look at http://www.ibm.com/java/jdk/118/linux/ -- ---------------------------------------------------- Marc van Kempen BowTie Technology Email: marc@bowtie.nl WWW & Databases tel. +31 40 2 43 20 65 fax. +31 40 2 44 21 86 http://www.bowtie.nl ---------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
