kernel.git: add "version-release" tags?
by Paul Bolle
0) Would it be possible to add tags to the kernel.git repository
corresponding to the "%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}" tags (ie, rpm querytags) of
the kernel rpms (that have actually been released)?
1) Eg, checking out the current Fedora 16 kernel could be done with
git checkout 3.3.2-1.fc16
instead of
rpm -q kernel-3.3.2-1.fc16 --changelog | head
git log -p origin/f16 | less
[ grep on the string "Linux 3.3.2" ]
[ copy a sha1sum ]
git checkout 28b13140ec3375d59bac4f2d6bc336f7b8ed6fc7
2) Or would that require a lot of work for the people in charge of stuff
like that?
(3) This is not really a kernel.git specific thing. It just ran into
this issue once again with the Fedora kernel rpms, because I happen to
build those more often than other Fedora rpms.)

It appears to be a udev/dracut battle.
/sbin/udevd is not in F18
yum whatprovides */sbin/udevd
returns "No matches found"
Defiantly not the kernel.

Rawhide kernels Changes?
by Frank Murphy
Haven't been able to boot since:
kernel-3.4.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc18
Immediately after line showing removing RD, MD RAID activation
Drops to a dracut shell.
Novelties such as locate, dir don't exist.
KVM Guests i386, x86_64
Have installed kernel-modules-extra,
as a just in case.
Looking at the changlogs for the last couple of kernels since,
can't really make out anything substantial.
Virt\real hard hasn't changed.

new kernel header file not being packaged in kernel-headers
by Jeff Layton
Recently, I added a new upcall to mainline kernels and with that I
added a new header file to describe the upcall/downcall format
(include/linux/nfsd/cld.h).
I've noticed though that that file is not being packaged in the
kernel-headers package, even though the other files in the linux/nfsd
dir are. Is there some master list that I need to add this file to? Or
do I need to mark this file in some way to ensure that it gets included
in kernel-headers?
Thanks in advance,

[PATCH] SELinux: apply a different permission to ptrace a child vs non-child
by Eric Paris
Some applications, like gdb, are able to ptrace both children or other
completely unrelated tasks. We would like to be able to discern these two
things and to be able to allow gdb to ptrace it's children, but not to be
able to ptrace unrelated tasks for security reasons.
Upstream is a bit weary of this patch as it may be incomplete. They are
not fundamentally opposed to the patch, I was just ask to see if I could
flush out any needed refinement in Fedora where we already had the
problem. We may find that we need to emulate the YAMA non-child
registration module in order to completely deal with 'normal' ptrace on
a system. At the moment however, this patch will at least let us get
gdb working for many users in Fedora (See fedora-devel-list for a
discussion of the current issues people are complaining about in F17
without this)
