Without this patch, uml compile fails with:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
arch/um/kernel/built-in.o: In function `config_gdb_cb':
arch/um/kernel/tt/gdb.c:129: undefined reference to `TASK_EXTERN_PID'

Tested on i386, but fix needed on x86_64 too AFAICS.

	Missing half of the [PATCH] uml: Fix sysrq-r support for skas mode
We need to remove these (UPT_[DEFG]S) from the read side as well as the
write one - otherwise it simply won't build.

Give an empty definition for clear_can_do_skas() when it is not needed.
Thanks to Junichi Uekawa &lt;dancer@netfort.gr.jp&gt; for reporting the
breakage and providing a fix (I re-fixed it in an IMHO cleaner way).

<title>[PATCH] uml: revert block driver use of host AIO</title>

<content type='text'>
The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed
some problems in the block driver.  I have fixes for these, but am not
comfortable putting them into 2.6.14 at this late date.  So, this patch reverts
the use of host AIO.

I will resubmit the original patch, plus fixes to the driver after 2.6.14
in order to get a reasonable amount of testing before they're exposed to
the general public.

UML/x86_64 doesn't run when built with frame pointers disabled.  There
was an implicit frame pointer assumption in the stub segfault handler.
With frame pointers disabled, UML dies on handling its first page fault.

The container-of part of this is from Paolo Giarrusso &lt;blaisorblade@yahoo.it&gt;.

After restoring the existing code, make it work also when included in
kernelspace code (which isn't currently the case, but at least this will prevent
people from "fixing" it as just happened).
Whitespace is fixed in next patch - it cluttered the diff too much.

Commit 44456d37b59d8e541936ed26d8b6e08d27e88ac1, between 2.6.13-rc3 and -rc4,
was a "nice cleanup" which broke something. Revert the offending part.

It broke because:
a) because this part doesn't fall under the description
b) the author didn't know what he was doing here
c) the author didn't try to compile the existing code and see that it worked
   perfectly.
d) the author didn't ask us what was happening
e) you didn't either, and somebody there should have learned that UML is a bit
   different.

In fact, UML is special in linking to host libc and using its includes.

In particular, since host includes always define both __BIG_ENDIAN and
__LITTLE_ENDIAN, ntohll() macros started thinking to be in a big-endian world;
and on-disk compatibility was broken.

Many thanks go to Nix for reporting the problem and correctly diagnosing an
endianness problem.

Btw, this patch restores the previous code, which worked; but the definitions
would be uncorrect if used in kernelspace files.

Next patch addresses that.
