2.2.19 breaks iBCS2: Patch

2.2.19 breaks iBCS2: Patch

[Wolfgang Rohdewald]

in 2.2.19, linux/include/asm-i386/uaccess.h is missing the line

#define strlen_user(str) strnlen_user(str, ~0UL >> 1)

putting it back makes iBCS2 work again.

Btw will iBCS2 ever be ported to the 2.4 kernel? I'm stuck with 2.2
until this is ported.

Please CC: me, I'm not (yet) subscribed

Thanks, Wolfgang

It has been superceeded by linux-abi.  Look at http://linux-abi.sourceforge.net
for deatils.

Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade.

iBCS has been ported and maintained against most of 2.3.x series for a
long time. And it is still, of course, available under 2.4.x, It is now
called ABI because old name iBCS was a misnomer (iBCS2 is an Intel
standard but the Linux implementation is far beyond the bounds of IA32
architecture -- it is portable, flexible and, in one word, perfect :)
