S_proc_setexecdata

2001-06-05 Thread Ognyan Kulev
Hi, In $HURDSRC/proc/host.c, function S_proc_setexecdata uses std_port_array and std_int_array without exclusive lock. This can lead to a kind of corruption if two threads call this function simultaneously (race condition). I know that this is almost impossible to happen, but i'm asking if i pa

_GNU_SOURCE, _GNU_SYSTEM or something like that

2001-06-05 Thread Ognyan Kulev
Hi, If many GNU programs use PATH_MAX and other limits, why not headers skip these definitions if _GNU_SYSTEM or something like that is defined. If it is written in GNU Standards then one can define _GNU_SYSTEM (or whatever) and the compiler will show him/her all the limits that don't exist on a

porting kerberos

Hi, I am right now porting kerberos, and beside the usual issues like MAXPATHLEN, MAXHOSTNAMELEN, wrong use of __MACH__ and sys_errlist[], errno, there is an interesting one: #ifndef NCARGS /* Linux doesn't seem to have it. */ #define NCARGS 1024 #endif char cmdbuf[NCARGS+1] We define NCARGS

A lot of random discussion takes place on debian-hurd and that is fine, but for this kind of stuff bug-hurd is really the appropriate place. (I think most people who care much at all read both.) So let's just use that. These are fine additions to rpctrace. Please make your changes piecemeal a

gnumach & plex86

2001-06-05 Thread Marcus Brinkmann
Hi, if you want to boot gnumach in plex86, make sure you disable FPE by commenting out the line in i386/bogus/fpe.h Otherwise Mach will panic in fpe_init(). Now it comes as far as probing devices, but I have no time to track it beyond that right now. oskit-mach doesn't work so well. The singl
