Changelog for uml-patch-2.4.17-2.bz2

Release Date : Dec 30 2001

Released By : jdike

  • Fixed various bugs with closing channels properly. enable_chan has been split out from open_chan (and disable_chan created) so that IRQs can be enabled and disabled when the device open count goes to zero without needing to open and close the channel.
  • current is now calculated from the stack rather than being kept in current_task. Code which doesn't run on a kernel stack figures out task structures without looking at current_task. The tracing thread uses the cpu_tasks array to map from a pid to a cpu number and task structure. The fork trampoline running on a temporary stack has the task structure passed to it as its argument. The signal delivery code reads it from a locked global.
