Linux 2.6.28 Porting to Oxnas

That sounds typical for ARM based SoC designs. AMBA is simply the name around all those buses like AHB and so on.

AHB is actually a bus from the set of buses within AMBA. Bulk transfer is a term from AHB.

RGMII => Reduced Gigabit Medium Independent Interface. Detailed information just within the IEEE 802.3 specifications.

"cipher core" sounds like it has hardware encryption support for hard drive encryption.

How was the registration process done on PLX page? Just in case.

But, I suppose I keep it the unsigned way since I can document every single finding publicly then. No entanglement in that case.

There is a core that is capable of hashing algorithms & AES. It is accessible for the SATA & else wise.

At least for the Ethernet and DMA controller, there is the IP-core provider Synopsys as an additional source for register descriptions.

I expected something like that. The branding stuff is for determining the spreading of a document. I know some organizations that do that branding too. I would not give around documents with my email address branded into it either.

In addition, the stmmac and gmac are not exactly identical. Different synthesis options selected by PLX and ST.

Has anyone tried to build the RT3390sta driver against 3.1+? I built both the latest on Ralink's site(2.4.1.1) and the CE sources against 3.1.8 and I am getting an oops on insmod, null pointer deref in dev_get_by_name_rcu()...

I haven't needed it

I got the mainline driver working, rt2800pci, was missing the firmware which I grabbed from http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/en/04_supp ... php?sn=501.

Maybe you encountered it already that calling exec on kernel 3.1 within non-root binaries fails for some weird reason in exec call.

Two little listings for test programs showing the issue: mysetuid is the one that is called as root.

mysetuid.c:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("setregid=%d\n", setregid(100,100));
printf("setreuid=%d\n", setreuid(1000,1000));
printf("uid=%u\n", getuid());
printf("gid=%u\n", getgid());
execl("/root/myprog", "myprog", 0);
return 0;
}
')

myprog.c:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("My Program\n");
return 0;
}
')

Yeah, we've encountered this via a complete failure of su & sudo.

Personally I have no idea what the hell is the problem.
