This is the first of a series of 7 invasive patches for the -mm tree, which are to be reviewed (not only by UML folks), and possibly merged for the 2.6.13 cycle.
The first one splits the i386 syscall table out of entry.S, without any real change for them (the file is included in the old place); if there are any syscall table changes, please be careful; this maybe means place *this* one before the others (or even merge now the i386 code movement part); I don't want that this patch is modified and that subtle bugs are introduced. The code movement is a really trivial code movement, however (no hidden changes).
This is needed to enable us to include the i386 syscall table, so that we are sure that they match. I already handled the real differences between i386 and UML (see the patch).
uml-fix-syscall-table-i386.patch uml: fix syscall table by including $(SUBARCH)'s one, for i386
uml-quick-fix-syscall-table-x86_64.patch uml: quick fix syscall table for x86_64
uml-fix-syscall-table-rem-for-x86-64.patch uml: fix syscall table by including $(SUBARCH)'s one, for x86-64
uml-console-redo-locking.patch uml: redo console locking [ It's invasive, but seems to work well; wide testing is needed ]
uml-hostfs-avoid-buffers.patch uml - hostfs: avoid buffers [ This is something which should work, even because you said that; I've partially verified this myself ]
uml-commentary-about-forking-flag.patch uml: commentary about forking flag [ Jeff, give a look and possibly correct it. ]
uml-ubd-handle-readonly.patch uml ubd: handle readonly status [ I cc'ed Jens Axboe ]
They are not to be confused with the previous series of 6 patches I also sent today, which are mostly little or already tested patches (list below); the explicitly marked one are urgent for 2.6.12, while for the other just take your choice (they should be trivial and have been tested):
[LIST of patches TO MERGE]: uml-workaround-sed-behaviour.patch uml: workaround old problematic sed behaviour [compile-fix, for 2.6.12]
uml-nfsd-syscall.patch uml: add nfsd syscall when nfsd is modular [for 2.6.12]
uml-crypto-i586.patch uml: support AES i586 crypto driver [for 2.6.12]
uml-Makefile-avoid-rebuild.patch uml kbuild: avoid useless rebuilds [for 2.6.13]
uml-inline-empty.patch uml: inline empty proc
uml-move-va-copy-conditional.patch uml: move va_copy conditional def
