I had a look at some USB PRs and wrote a list of those with patches to Warner (as he is working on USB stuff currently). I also categorized them (easy, not easy, maybe already fixed, ...). The easy ones he handled already, for the rest I don’t know his current plans.

Regarding linuxulator stuff I’m working on a MFC patch (no TLS, no futexes). As I don’t have a -stable box I need some help testing it before I can commit it. I only compile tested this on -current with the new gcc 4.2. What I need is:

• testing on i386, amd64 (if I forgot something, it may panic your system)


• “make universe” test (you have to grep all the logs for “Error 1” and investigate the error if there’s one)


• LTP test run, see the wiki for more (best would be a diff of the logs in the result directory of no-patch/patch runs)


• normal linux application use-tests

What the patch provides is:

• mmap fixes


• fix memleaks


• add mprotect/iopl/lstat/ftruncate/statfs64/timer_*/mq_*


• more errno value mapping


• don’t limit number of syscalls to 255


• allow to exec libs


• ioctl TIOCGPTN


• handle more socket options


• de-COMPAT_43-ify


• add dummy syscalls so that we know what is needed (reports from users)


• style(9)


• linprocfs enhancements
