On my web-site I've uploaded my personal devel-tree snapshot against -rc3. Currently I've had to add a "clear_flushed_tls()" to copy_thread(), which probably should be wrapped in a arch_copy_thread() (with a macro/inline in some header). As a side note: the TLS code currently does not work yet, so don't rely on it. There are also some issues to (later?) consider, which are indicated in the patch itself; and there will be something to add to the host SKAS patch, because the current implementation would be a bit too slow probably. -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Skype user "PaoloGiarrusso" Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tell us your software development plans!
