Version 1.3 Patch Level 3
|
||||
|
||||
General. ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Update to documentation including klogd.8 manpage to reflect new features.
|
||||
|
||||
Included patch for modules-2.0.0 package to provide support for signalling
|
||||
klogd of changes in kernel module status.
|
||||
|
||||
klogd ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Provided support for signalling klogd to reload static and kernel module
|
||||
symbol information via SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented -p switch to cause a reload of kernel module symbol information
|
||||
whenever a protection fault is detected.
|
||||
|
||||
Informative message is printed whenever klogd state change occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
Added -i and -I switches to signal the currently executing klogd daemon
|
||||
to reload symbold information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.3 Patch Level 2
|
||||
|
||||
General. ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Added oops.c and oops_test.c. Oops.c implements a kernel loadable module
|
||||
which will generate a general protection fault. The oops_test.c program
|
||||
generates a test program for exercising the loadable module.
|
||||
|
||||
syslogd ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Fixed bug resulting in file descriptors being orphaned when syslogd was
|
||||
initialized via signal handler.
|
||||
|
||||
klogd ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Bug fix to prevent errors when reading symbol tables with 64 bit addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
Added support for debugging of protection faults occuring in kernel
|
||||
loadable modules.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.3 Patch Level 1
|
||||
|
||||
General. ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Cleanups in the Makefile.
|
||||
|
||||
Patches to support compilation in the ALPHA environment. I have not
|
||||
been able to test these personally so if anyone has any feedback I
|
||||
would be interested in hearing from the Linux ALPHA community.
|
||||
|
||||
Spelling and grammar corrections in the man pages.
|
||||
|
||||
syslogd ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Patch to fix parsing of hostnames in syslogd.c.
|
||||
|
||||
The return value of gethostbyname is now properly checked. This should
|
||||
fix the problems with core dumps when name resolution failed.
|
||||
|
||||
Bounds error fixed when setting the file descriptors for UNIX domain
|
||||
sockets.
|
||||
|
||||
klogd ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Error checking and reporting enhanced. I have a couple of reports
|
||||
that klogd is experiencing errors when reading the /proc filesystem.
|
||||
Any additional information would be appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
The sys_syslog function has been renamed to ksyslog. This was in a
|
||||
set patches for ALPHA support so I am assuming that this is necessary
|
||||
for that environment
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.3
|
||||
|
||||
Numerous changes, performance enhancements, code cleanups and bug fixes.
