Ok I’ve put up a 2.2.3ac1. For most people this is probably not
terribly exciting which is good, cos it means the Linus tree is
working nicely.
It contains
- ARM updates – working to merge ARM with my tree then eventually
I hope with Linus – tho that may be a 2.3 job - V7 file system tweaks to sys5 1K
- Improved SCSI generic (still the mark 1 edition) – Douglas has
some improvements in the pipeline before it goes to Linus - The Large file array patch. I still hope to feed this to Linus
at some point - i386 security hole fix for ptrace. Its in the other
architectures too. It only bites if you use capabilities. The
bigger hole in /proc is fixed in 2.2.3 - AMD K6 MSR/MTRR setup. The MSR is ready to go to Linus now, and
will do so, the MTRR stuff I hope will get merged with Richard
Gooch stuff once its untangled from devfs - ADFS update. Strictly for Acorn fans
- CDROM updates. Heading Linuswards soon
- Better bw-qcam driver.
- Printing fixes. I assume Tim will send these to Linus himself
when he’s finally happy - 3c509 update – for EISA etc – queued for Linus
- Wavelan update – queued for Linus
- cs89x0 module parameters – queued for Linus
- Sealevel sync driver. Awaiting confirmation it works on the
real board as well as my test rig - SCSI blacklist and AIC7xxx updates
- Prototype ESS PCI and Yamaha PCI legacy mode drivers. Gus SMP
fix - NTFS doesnt crash when you run out of memory
- /proc/mem crash fixes for threaded abuse programs
- NFS: Im still merging together Linus & Trond’s code. Once
Trond has all the nice stuff finally tuned up with Linus this will
all become main tree stuff. Im just making sure it gets tested
8) - NFSroot argument bug
- Misc include/time wrap bug fixes
