I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Did you try on some other host and it failed? Was your host 32-bit? If so, I'm afraid user-mode will fail for more reasons than vsyscall. > So the status of x86_64-linux-user is not more than experimental :-( > > I tried to modify x86_64-linux-user to set up a vsyscall page in high > memory, > but this seems to be difficult (at least with 32 bit host). > > Any hints how this should be done are welcome. My patch explicitly prevents the linking of the vsyscall page. Could you provide more info about your host? Laurent
