Is there an alternate Koji or some other means by which I can try rawhide/ia64 rpm builds?
This is caused by the change of #define TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK 5
to
#define TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK 22
Is there a need to change this bit from 5 to 22? If that really is needed we are going to need to change entry.S to handle it (which I will need to find an ia64 asm expert for advice on this).
This is part of a cleanup that is not yet needed. I'll drop those patches from the series for now.
So that we can continue to make ia64 progress can we %ifarch the utrace patch out in the spec file until utrace is complete on ia64?
That should be fine. I don't think other patches need it to apply.
The hard 90% of the ia64 work (user_regset) has been done and posted upstream by Shaohua Li shaohua.li@intel.com. What would be best is if you can lean on linux-ia64 upstream to incorporate those changes ASAP. When the parts upstream has already seen get integrated, there will be little enough left for ia64 utrace to work that I can get it going.
Thanks, Roland
