2005-05-01[PATCH] uml: fix oops related to exception tableJeff Dike
Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Prevent the kernel from oopsing during the extable sorting, as it can do now, because the extable is in the readonly section of the binary. Jeff says: The exception table turned RO in 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 for some reason. Moving it causes it to land in the writable data section of the binary. Paolo says: This patch fixes a oops on startup, which can be easily triggered by compiling with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled, and STATIC_LINK either disabled or enabled. The resulting kernel will always Oops on startup, after printing this simple output: I've verified, by binary search on the BitKeeper repository (synced up as of 2.6.12-rc2), starting from the range 2.6.11-2.6.12-rc1, that this bug shows up on BitKeeper revisions in the range [@1.1994.11.168,+inf), i.e. starting from this: [PATCH] lib/sort: Replace insertion sort in exception tables Since UML does not use the exception table, it's likely that insertion sort didn't happen to write anything on the table.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
