From b6bc5d71499c6e2d403a0624841c280e6edebe43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 23:00:30 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix VMI and COMPAT_VDSO for 2.6.21 VMI is broken under COMPAT_VDSO, as Xen and other non hardware assisted hypervisors will be. I have been working on a fix for this which works for older glibcs that panic when the new relocatable VDSO is used. However, I believe at this time that the fix is going to be too radical to consider at this stage in the release of 2.6.21. We don't expect this config option to be turned on by vendors for new distributions, so at this point we are willing to drop support for it when VMI is compiled in, and work on a patch for 2.6.22 which more fully addresses the problem.
