Roland/Oleg, do you concur with the fix? nice find btw. - are you running Valgrind on UML?
Thanks. Yes, I am running Valgrind on UML. I revisited the previous patches that allowed it and tried to remove any unnecessary changes.
The patches and a recipe on how to make it work can be found on the UML wiki: http://uml.jfdi.org/uml/Wiki.jsp?page=ValgrindingUML I'll stir up trouble by posting the kernel patches on lkml after a little more cleanup. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
