I study chemistry and information technology, working on linux for many years. I specialise in low-level programming. For few months I am responsible for preparing linux distribution to an 386EX machine with 2.5MB of RAM and few megabytes (8 or 12) of Flash-ROM. Because the machine doesn't have too much memory, I have fixed 2.2.18 kernel, so that it keeps all unwritable sections if ROM and that's the place where they're executed for. Thanks to that I have spared about 500KB of memory. My next aim was to provice XIP - execute in place. In order to do that, I have choosen romfs filesystem, which is small and fast. I have patched it to add XIP feature. You may look at the patch - it is attached to this mail. The one is designed for 2.2.18 (and probably whole 2.2 line). Could You please check whether it is 100% proper? If so, maybe one day it could be included into the kernel? with best regards, -- Michal Schulz ---559023410-1804928587-1020178581=:11086 Content-Type: APPLICATION/octet-stream; name="romfs-xip-patch.bz2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: Content-Description: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="romfs-xip-patch.bz2" QlpoOTFBWSZTWTPEqTIAAqJfgHgwff//+3+n3/q/79/qUAR+1mXcqlO7AA3D RCmyp+p6pvVNonpmqeoZD1A2pkZAAAABp6mmGpppMmU2mgk9JtTRoaPU0AAA aANAAGglNJKfpTQAHqNGhoB6jQNPSDJkAA0B6gOMjTJiaDJkwmmQMhoDQGmT QwAmgMJEhAmUxppT01NkT1Mp5E02oBptQxDQ09EYTTSoBa8RVixQyBhMXo7W 4KGw9L6X6Yj5RS+v1HlGGW9538j+WaCTabxPVEso8+NwmeKT9bVFDMn08ZRK srUIQzbajTbfcAt6DEcACz3iORiN75yrGsm3z+3+TgL9uSXf+chebZcZzNqy NiiqCWkvEMak5NwrAplx2eptAMcXDbKeFco4QXQOWsLownaBlo36Aj+S8MFY hSDYHhRe1Sp8EjdbUwkqRjOSRLltK/AaFZVlH4ITG9s5LwPy5Fm3baYODDcx rBKdMSVHbZZuwusiJxKPCkpqlkU9xJ3IqIpUFTeo/YYgxEjBoOAsPWH3LSVS DSZNNAQkSoFKQ0y2kkK8Z0mUAqIuLG51DT2qZ68J8PAtNbSWI4kJwEA4maZh BqGhjULxxWz1CzkjvXZ8nM83nD6b+Axl5hJclqzCkswTvfVVJo8pIOs50L7/ yNeaQGYMm2MTBQZgmorJpYNQnIVppyRoxa1GQJK736jksR8GUz3NlLap0VRS kWXG5rcMp64v/XsNK3cnQfAxXW1kIuDO2u274EGpEHeJkmsBl8ZTG/7gzh1H y47Ohev2gvaC+ArsD7hWCwEpAwXiFrPd4feJe8FgLstP4ZigehBpJf65CKGN S4lKmQpmqk1JvsnfIHJrHpAIMEUOHZbKH8+QSdHRuBBC5nHLqHYn6XnfnKgn b5qiGfuOosBft0k+5Qnm+JHEYUFbcW6NpF58sZAfp7FrbRrvppMkdsdozZBB qiA+Ow6LQjQAukWgsjG+FuUU92ABJlUIBVUWOtJ5kYUtZEaGBFtBBIJIWAiK f6y6gY6MUZ6gJlOyxkVKReeHGcsSzEqrzFhYNXHulTryFpVc0+NdxchiQeDe 3xnNSgTVZwegGvX1xxoaVkQGsPIDAYNHErDgwd4MgZV9EyWrhQ3KGjp48Y+M yfdwDQdRQ7pfF+82Q+YkWhvGIOIuVe9xy0r4tuOHot3bvZvDXQrOYL9E13An Bjtgyz6LpHdMdXVuBVsVB2OJTpXyzCtr3fJJcCTEzCjqhAQGQTvGNt4w23Bg VSkn0UkTCYqEUkggmQyf4aQncguKF3k2XasLmgMqgtzHgi4ytDS7ad98SC0H BYOowbOWUmNFA2I8ZXZOhkW1ml120CshEY9PQ5FgWKNNYHKDqfOYYBeXIhrb x6B5oqv1SmgWbdUrprPlVaai0O9OiU+EsnV2QixLDdoedw64iNoeLTYSMbi0 gBoaXfkKlVkqliy6QS1wFqLx1WqfP4SmCPAYWTQxLkTPU5oRYmm3cNJIRAYx pAJEzkUWA5QSoU0bRIEISif/F3JFOFCQM8SpMg== ---559023410-1804928587-1020178581=:11086-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
