To get people away from their normally scheduled copyright discussions, I made a pre-2.1.109 to try out. I woul dhave made a real 2.1.109, but my computer room has been taken over by visiting relatives, and they want to go to sleep. Ye Gods!
Get it from ftp.kernel.org, /pub/linux/kernel/testing as usual. It has - CPU detection in C code (and thus much easier to expand upon, especially as it's all thrown away after booting now that it is "initfunc()"). This should finally get the Cyrix case right, for example. Please test. - too meny people convinced me that sendfile() really wants to act like writep(). - sound driver updates from Alan. - console updates, so now we have the full old functionality again as far as I'm concerned (but I'm sure people will tell me something is still missing) - task switch and user space return cleanly handles bad segment descriptors etc, so people shoul dno longer be able to cause kernel messages by misusing the LDT. - wine should work again thanks to Bill Hawes (other LDT fixes) - de4x5 driver update - token ring driver update - ppp driver update - coda-fs update - "shared writable" bug fixed (thanks to a lot of people for testing and working on this - the actual fix was trivial once the problem was understood)
Check it out,
Linus
