Subject: Bug#239980: kernel-patch-uml: Symbols reqd for translucency not exported

Package: kernel-patch-uml
Version: 20040216-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

The symbols "strncpy_from_user_tt" and "strncpy_from_user_skas" are required by the "translucency" module and these are not exported by the user-mode-linux kernel.

As far as I can make out this problem exists with upstream as well.

It *is* possible that modules should be making use of different interfaces, in which case these alternatives should be documented somewhere.

The system seems to work fine with the minimal patch enclosed.

Regards,

Kapil.
