[bug #18502] Suboptimal cache configuration for IA-32 processors

2006-12-13 Thread Barry deFreese
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #18502 (project hurd): OK, I built gnumach with the following in model_dep.c: set_cr0((get_cr0() | CR0_PG | CR0_WP) & ~(CR0_CD | CR0_NW)); And I got worse performance: 0m0.040s 0m0.130s 0m0.000s 0m0.000s Booted back to normal gnumach: 0m0.010s 0m0.020s 0m0.000s 0m0.

Re: user-mode-linux for Mach?

Currently, uml does not support device handling from user space nor has been ported to any os other than linux. However, it is just a user space process, so i'm not pessimistic about porting it to the Hurd. I'm clueless about system call interception and ptrace() in GNU/Hurd. Most likely, t

Hello! Funny :-). Some weeks ago I also got the idea about porting user-mode Linux to GNU/Hurd. (But didn't start with it yet.) On Wed, Dec 13, 2006 at 08:24:04PM +0200, Constantine Kousoulos wrote: > Would Mach benefit from using user-mode-linux? As I undestand it, user-mode Linux is a ``nor

2006-12-13 Thread Constantine Kousoulos
Would Mach benefit from using user-mode-linux? I'm thinking that IF user-mode-linux could be ported to Mach, it MIGHT be possible to modify it in order to use some of linux's drivers in user-space. One could imagine other uses as well. Could something like this work? I know there are many seri
