Well, hopefully you managed to get subscribed to the list.  After that, following
the list is just that - read the emails as they come in.

If your *actual* question is "what do I do next?", I'll point you to something
I posted a while ago:

It's also not scalable. 16,223 commits between v4.14 and v4.15.  50 weekdays (assuming
a week off at Christmas).  With 8 hour work days,  that's about 40 commits to merge
an hour - which isn't achievable if you're actually reviewing code.

Well, like any piece of software, you check to see that your changes do
what they're supposed to do by running your modified Xen with a relevant
test scenario. I'm afraid your question is too generic to be answered
more precisely than that.

As for debugging, you can sprinkle your code with printk()s and see
which codepath is chosen, and so on. You should then be able to see the
output by running something like 'xl dmesg'.

You can also check out these resources:

I was answering what I thought was your question about "not being able
to find any link for [...] development environment setup". If you mean
you'd like to know about the OSSTEST Xen test system, there's some
information (and links) here:
https://blog.xenproject.org/2013/02/02/xen-automatic-test-system-osstest/ but
unfortunately I haven't used it yet so somebody more knowledgeable would
need to step in if you need more information.

i'm taking linux assembly as a hobby for christmas and i found your great site. the tutorials have been much helpful.

anyway, i meant to ask something..

and i wanna capitalize the small letter 'h'.

at first i used
	mov di, string ; but di is 16 bits and ld complains

so i eventually started using the 32 bit ones to do the capitalisation operation. but for some reason, i lose all other letters, including the linefeed.

Right. As Fred explains, an address is 32 bits (or 64).

> so i eventually started using the 32 bit ones to do the capitalisation operation. but for some reason, i lose all other letters, including the linefeed.

Sounds like maybe you went too far. The address is 32 bits (or 64), but 
the characters of the string are only a byte (8 bits). If you tried to 
"uppercase" a whole 32 bits, you'd lose the whole thing, including the 
linefeed.

> please point me to the right direction.

Easy way:

sub byte [string], 32

maybe you'd write it as:

sub byte [string], 'a' - 'A'

to make it more "self-documenting". But a more flexible way, using some 
registers...

mov edi, string
mov al, [edi]
cmp al, 'a'  ; don't "uppercase" it unless
jb skip      ; it's lower case!
cmp al, 'z'
ja skip
sub al, 'a' - 'A'
mov [edi], al  ; store it back in "string"
skip:

...perhaps "inc edi", and loop back do do the next letter, or whatever...

inc edi
mov byte [edi], 'a'  ; change it to "Ha!"

Have fun.

> merry christmas,

Same to you and yours... and the rest of the list.

Best,
Frank

Re: newbie

[Fred Marmond]

Hi Niel
string is a label, that's to say here, a pointer.
If you are in x86 architecture (32bits), a pointer is 32bits long, so you'll 
have to do "mov edi,string".
If you are in x86_64 arch (64bits), you'll have to use 64bits registers for 
pointers, "mov rdi,string"

There are three things I would suggest.  The first is reading two 
tutorials on http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/index.html - 
specifically the "packet filtering HOWTO" and the "NAT HOWTO".

The second is Oskar's excellent iptables tutorial, at 
http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html.

The third is taking a while to work out what ports the services you 
mention work on.  A basic feel for how TCP/IP connections work would help 
too.  The knowledge that in most cases a client chooses a port >1024 and 
connects to the service port should suffice.  People on the list could 
easily list the ports you need to allow or deny but you'll learn a 
tremendous amount by spending 10 minutes working it out.

In any case, don't forget you will need to enable IP Forwarding on your 
netfilter machine.

Hope those pointers help,

David

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1177 bytes --]

I'm a bit of a nitwit and could use some pointers from more experienced
hands.

We changed routers recently and with it the processes. The objectives
remain the same:
1. To protect the server (running Apache, Postfix and Vftp).
2. To provide DShield reporting.
3. To get reliable data so that, from time to time, we can contact ISPs
when things get out of hand.

The setup is simple and does not use the router's NAT. 

I am using only the NAT IPtable. HTTP, SMTP, FTP and Pop3 get port
forwarded. Anything that doesn't get port forwarded is presumed to be
intrusive and gets logged and dropped. So far so good.

Questions:

1. Does this approach make sense? 

2. I'm getting the LAN address in the logs rather than the intended
destination IP. Is there some way to preserve the original data?

3. Is anyone aware of a decent log analyzer that will also provide host
resolution?

4. I would rather use the FILTER table for the refused connections to
reject rather than drop. I'm sure that it's simple but I just don't get
it. This would depend upon the filter table rules following the NAT
table rules. Where is this order established?

Thanks.

RE: newbie

[Cagle, John (ISS-Houston)]

Pawel,

The ACPI subsystem is indeed progressing on the 2.4 kernel, and the
maintainers (Andy Grover and others) keep a Bitkeeper tree of the latest
2.4.xx kernel with the latest ACPI changes.  Browse to
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/ to see the official source tree.  They are
also working with the 2.4 kernel maintainer (Marcelo Tosatti) to always
get the latest subsystem in the latest kernel version.  I think that
kernel tar files (for 2.4 and 2.5) are maintained on the sourceforge
site as well.

In addition, most major Linux distributors should have ACPI built into
their 2.4 kernels soon, if not already.

Hi !

I just subscibed to this list. From watching some messages, I understand
the ACPI is not really progressing in 2.4. kernel, s that correct ?

The sourceforge webpages unfortunately don't contain much information
on the developement status, neither about the sources.

So, a few questions : is there an official sourcetree, or whatever is developed
is in the 2.5.x kernel ?

Is 2.4.x kernel is to be maintained with the latest ACPI changes ? If not, then
is it posible to take the ACPI subsystem from 2.5 kernels and recompile with
2.4, or are there incompatible kernel interfaces involved ?

The reason I got involved in ACPI is that I got HP Pavillion ze5155 laptop,
and it doesn't have any APM, it's pure ACPI. Looks like power buttons
is the only OSPM component that is processed correctly. Removing battery/
ac adaptor doesn't even trigger SCI (according to /proc/interrupts), so
I guess not all of the statuses are enabled. Also, battery status returned
is always 0x0f, so the battery is believed to be absent all the time.
I'm not sure how to identify the ACPI bios, so I can report what kind is it.
The motherboard is ALi M<something>, that's all I know.

Hi,

I have a basic question. When some function calls
panic:
1)Can I store some registers into nonvolatile 
memory. I will call this function from the very
beginning of my panic function.

2) What exactly happens when a function calls panic
.i.e. a)what all things are inaccessible, in my 
case I will be embedding my code at the very beginning
of panic function, so what things will be inaccessible
to my code b) what is control flow after a function
calls panic.

Any help will really useful. Kindly mail to

To answer that one question. Flash memory cannot just be reprogrammed, in 
many/most instances you first need to erase the section of flash before you 
can reprogram it. All the limitations are far too complex to answer in an

A couple of things.  "chkconfig telnet on" does update 
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet parameter "disable = yes" to "disable = no" 
and restarts xinetd automagically.


I really think his issue is the default firewall config for the host.

If "telnet localhost" works from that host, that is the most likely cause.

"netstat -an | grep -i listen" should report something like

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:23          0.0.0.0:*           LISTEN 


He might try "service ipchains stop" and test the telnet connection then.

Re: newbie

[Richard Nairn]

You need to go into /etc/xinetd.d/ and edit telnet. It has one parameter
disable = yes, change that to no then restart xinetd.  I don't think that
chkconfig will handle services within xinetd's realm.

Hi,

I want users to be able to telnet into my linux box.
So I did 
#>chkconfig telnet on

and added in /etc/hosts.allow
in.telnetd: ALL: ALLOW

then
#>/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

I was unable to telnet into the box:
It says connection refused, it does't even come 
until login prompt. So I think telnetd is not
configured properly. So what is wrong in above
process???

Regards
Venkat.

stty controls the settings of the kernel's tty driver. However,
readline explicitly puts the tty driver into "raw" mode, overriding
any previous settings.

It does this so that it can provide complex line-editing facilities,
similar to those found in a text editor.

The kernel's tty driver only provides very basic line-editing
facilities, i.e. the ability to erase the previous character, the
previous word, or the entire line.

Also, the line-editing facility is only available in canonical (aka
"cooked") mode, where an entire line of input is returned when the
Return/Enter key is pressed. If a program wants to read key presses as
soon as they occur, it has to put the tty driver into "raw" mode. 
Clearly, the tty driver can't provide line-editing in this mode (once
a character has been sent to the application, the tty driver can't
"unsend" it).

  The things you do in child process environments are
  inheritable only to their childs, never to parent.
  If they were, there would be massive security problems,
  just to mention one consequence...

  If you want your current shell to get the new values,
  you have to do:  . file.sh

Run your script using ". file.sh" or "source file.sh" to do that.

> I don't want to run as ". file.sh".
> I have to run it as "file.sh" only.

Unfortunately, if you run it as "file.sh" only, you start up a new
shell and lose the ability to change the settings in the parent shell. 
This is a deliberate part of bash's design, and is to isolate the new
shell from the existing one so the new shell can make changes to
important environment variables to accomplish its task without causing
problems for later commands.

Another option would be for your script to drop the relevant commands
into the keyboard buffer for the parent shell to execute when the new
shell exits. Whilst that might be an interesting exercise, it's also a
pointless one when the needed functionality is already present.

If your script is one that you want executed every time you log in, then
include the relevant source command in ~/.bashrc and it will be loaded
at login time without problem.

Best wishes from Riley.

I don't think "bind -f file" when called from a
script will work. Because when script exits 
keymap will be back to original one. Child process
can't change environment of parent.

What isn't erasing? bash?

"stty erase ..." sets the erase key which is used by the kernel's tty
driver. It will work for programs which leave the tty in "cooked"
(ICANON) mode. Try running "cat" without arguments to check the
behaviour of the tty driver.

However, a program which sets the tty to "raw" mode will receive all
key codes immediately; if it wants line editing, it must implement it
itself. The GNU readline library (normally used by bash and several
other programs) does this, so you will probably need to configure
readline separately, via the ~/.inputrc file. See the readline(3)
manpage for details.

1) I want to know about termcap formats. For example
the control sequence for del is "^[[3~" . So how
to interpret it. 

2) How will kernel decide keycodes, is it just based 
on termcap file. But this file does't contain
exhaustive list of keycodes.
