I've put up a fifth re-sync patch...
I've incorporated Stephan Haslbeck's changes -- I hope this fixes some
of the memory protection problems some people encountered recently.
I've also included a README.1ST which explains the status of the
patch files and contains an (almost) complete list of sub-patches.
Now available via ftp from ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de:
pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/mint-1.10h4-1.10h5-diffs.gz
Diffs against the kernel patched with the first four patches.
pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/mint-1.10-1.10h5-diffs.gz
Diffs against the virgin kernel.
You can also get this via email by sending a message to
ftpmail@ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de containing this text in the message body:
send pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/mint-1.10h4-1.10h5-diffs.gz
or
send pub/atari/Mint/Kernel/mint-1.10-1.10h5-diffs.gz
After my .sig are the last few commit messages.
Bye,
Michael

dosmem.c: when do_vfork tries to restore the parent's memory it does
not have access to it anymore; add some prot_temp()-calls in
fork_restore()

biosfs.c dosfile.c fasttext.c file.h pipefs.c procfs.c tosfs.c:
A patch to add the functionality to select for exceptional
conditions to MiNT.
A device driver which want's to support this must also support a select
mode of 2 (besides 0 for `read' and 1 for 'write', which all drivers should
support) and should implement an FIOEXCEPT ioctl call to determine if a
particular file pointers has got an exceptional condition to offer (just
like FIONREAD and FIONWRITE for read/write selects), in which case it
should set it's argument pointer to 1.
If you should select an old device driver for exceptional conditions, it
should just behave the way it has done without this, say block, because it
neither understands the select mode 2 (and therefore can't be activated to
select), nor the FIOEXCEPT call (and therefore won't never report success).
Since this is only theory and even MiNT's internal device drivers do not
always explicitly check both of the `old' possible modes, but use constructs
like `if (mode != O_RDONLY)', some patches have been necessary to be sure.
At least it doesn't seem to disturb my setup now... :-)
