Are there actually architectures where the compiler gener
ce driver layer, and be more efficient.
Hmm, this would be tricky. You could do it by implementing a simple
tar file reader in the kernel, which reads from /dev/initrd (well, it's
in-kernel representation), but I'm not sure if this buys you that much
in the end. (How
code is PIC is a little tricky though.
Yes, for now I cheat and depend on gcc to generate code that just
happens to be PIC.

normal build environment, e.g. my example is with shared newlib, regular
ash, and - unfortunately rather wasteful - glibc's ld.so.
But a tftp loader in 20kB is rather good. Now the next challenge is the
same thing with NFS. Then we can finally kill nf

You must be really low on memory ;-)

Hi Linus,
include/linux/time.h leaks out mktime, creating a possible conflict with
POSIX mktime. This patch puts mktime and a few helper functions into
#ifdef __KERNEL__
Originally for 2.4.0-test11-pre6, but applies also to 2.4.0-test11-pre7

Concerning Cc to Linus, well, I'd be surprised if he's dying to get
more mail of the "FYI" type ;-)

d I rename
this one to bttv_radio or are there no radios on non-848 chips ?
(I'll make a patch with both setup functions, since the
documentation changes overlap anyway.)

a reboot, so I have to invoke and terminate xawtv first. This problem
appears to be unrelated to this patch, but I though I'd mention it
anyway.

card is properly initialized and works.
Not sure what the correct fix is. Maybe to fall back to vendor/device
ID if there's no subsystem information ?

Also, why did you implement your own memory management in
fs/kexec.c:kimage_get_chunk ?

BTW, the checks after line 153 in linux/arch/i386/boot/tools/build.c

previous .config file was obtained from
Configure, but menuconfig already leaves some clutter, and a diff
for a .config obtained from xconfig wouldn't be useful without
serious post-processing. Also, a diff repeats new options, which
were already handled by Configure.

So ... how can a revoke system call be implemented without changing vfs
too much? IMHO this system call is missed. There are some really interesting
interfaces using block or character devices which shouldn't be usable for users
because of the lack of secure revoking of such a device. Therefore
vertheless it should apply
to 2.4.0-test10-pre2.

Yep, then add some magic number and a checksum, and you can have an
