Kernel.org
Mirrors

This contains SiS IDE updates so SiS users may want to
be careful with this kernel. Ditto for CMD680/SI3112

Linux 2.4.21rc4-ac1

  • Resync with Marcelo 2.4.21rc4
  • Allow setuid core dumps by a sysctl (me)
    First test release. Note that you probably want to set the core
    dumping path to somewhere like /cores/ via sysctl when using this
    feature. Setuid cores are made root only and owner rw only.
