uml-patches-2.6.1-v1.tar.bz2 contains all the patches below.
The combo is instead 2.6.1-Combo-v1.bz2, and contains all these patches.

Changes from 2.6.0-v8 to 2.6.1-v1:
- The whole A- folder is removed.
- The E and F folders are removed too, for now, together with C-01
- The old H-01 went into mainline, together with Sigjmp fixes and possibly others.
- Numbering of patches changed.
- Content of patches changed to update them for 2.6.1.

B-Replacements				These patches are meant to replace the A-03 and A-04
					patches with other, suitable for mainline inclusion.

C-MainChanges				These are changes to the UML code itself. See below
					for details. They are indipendent from each other
					(at least they should!).

E-Skas					These patches makes UML support the SKAS mode for
					nested UML. The two patches are in order.

F-i386					This patch, which requires the E-Skas one, makes
					the host kernel able to support the SKAS mode for
					guests.

G-LinkScripts				These patches are for the link scripts. They must be
					applied in order.

H-Makefiles				These patches are for the UML build system. To apply in
					order.

I-01-Debian_workaround.patch		The /usr/include/asm/ldt.h on some systems comes
					from 2.6 headers (together with /usr/include/asm)
					and there is a name-only change. This was fixed
					in a way in mainline, in another one here.

---B-Replacements

B-01-TTY_init.patch			Replaces the old A-03 fix. Two __initcall's needed to have
					tty_init called before them; this has been solved now by
					marking them as late_initcall. This remove a change which
					wouldn't go in mainline.

B-02-MM-compile-fix.patch		Replaces the A-04 fix. Needed or mm/memory.c won't compile.
					I think that the A-04 fix was here in place of B-02 only by
					mistake. The A-04, historically, had no functional change; the
					B-02 neither has any. But the patched kernel code changed, and
					A-04 didn't follow it; B-04 is updated for that.

---C-MainChanges

C-01-WarningFix.patch			Fix some warnings when compiling UML; one of them is likely
					to be a real bug.

C-02-Module_fixes.patch			This makes the UML build with module support
					enabled. There are also some exports and fixes
					for the ones in user_syms.c.

C-03-Removal_of_smplock.patch		Useless for users. The include/asm/smplock.h header was
					removed during 2.5 development. This patches does this
					removal. Actually, only for Jeff Dike.

C-04-Exception_table_fix.patch		It fixes a bug in the exception table handling
					(see Documentation/exception.txt).

---G-LinkScripts

G-01-Uml-Selinux.patch			Directly from M A Young:
					Compile fails with errors about security code. The selinux code doesn't
					quite work in UML, but this patch fixes it.

G-02-LinkScriptCleanup.patch		Fix some bugs in the link script (which cause /proc/kallsyms
    					not to contain the vmlinux symbols).

---H-Makefiles

H-01-Pcap_link_fix.patch		This should allow who wants to build UML with Pcap network
					support. Not yet tested, what it does is just to link the
					linux binary against libpcap, too.

H-02-Fixdep-improve.patch		This fixes the fixdep script, so that it works effectively
					even for UML. Without this, make will rebuild every file
					when you change a config option.
					Reason: for various reasons (i.e. no interference with
					the /usr/include/asm headers), autoconf.h is 'quoted' to
					uml-config.h; without this patch, since every file includes
					uml-config.h, every file depends on all config options.

H-03-User_obj_makefiles.patch		Fix almost completely the Makefiles of UML for the new
					"Kbuild API", to avoid unneeded recompilation and output
					verbosity.

H-04-Kbuild_cleanup.patch		This patch does an additional cleanup of Makefiles. No
					user-visible change (apart even less verbosity). This is
					changed here in the v4 folder.

I didn't include the Young's patch for Fedora Core 1 since it is just a partial fix. Disable exec-shield as he suggests, or
for UML only by running, instead of ./linux, i386 ./linux. i386 is an alias to setarch, which can be found here:

ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/i386/Fedora/RPMS/setarch-1.0-1.i386.rpm

CREDITS

The code comes from these people:
- Jeff Dike: the UML main author. All the A-Orig code is from him.
- Ingo Molnar; his combo UML patch is here: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/UML-patches/
- Michael A. Young; see here: http://toast.debian.net/~may/umlproject/bugs.html
- the UML-devel mailing list for testing and help
- and finally me (Paolo Giarrusso, alias Blaisorblade blaisorblade_spam (at) yahoo (dot) it).

However, blame me for every bug you find, and thanks them for their work.
