Subject[PATCH] 32-bit UID support for 2.3.27
Hi. I have updated and tested the 32-bit UID support patches further. A
new version is available at:

http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/systems/Linux/code/misc/2.3/19991111/

Changes in this version:
- updated to final 2.3.27 kernel

- fix alignment bug in process accounting record (struct acct)
(thanks to Albert D. Cahalan)

- fix 3 typos in the prototype SysVIPC patch, and make 1 minor
cleanup- the patch is now even simpler

- prototype SysVIPC patch is no longer a prototype; it is tested
and verified to work (backwards compatibility at least)

- all extraneous blank lines, useless comments in patches removed to
make them as small and simple as possible


The patches are tested and working on 2.3.27pre6. A patch for glibc to
actually take advantage of 32-bit UIDs with these patches can be found at:

http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/systems/Linux/code/misc/2.3/19991111/glibc-2.1.1-highuid.patch

(the previous version of the patch for glibc improperly used padding space
in the stat structure, as pointed out by Ulrich Drepper)
Beware that a patched glibc will not work with an unpatched kernel.


Thanks,

Chris Wing
