|
||
|
||
|
||
[v1.5][] - 2007-07-27
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
- Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
|
||
- Close file descriptor in FindSymbolFile() in ksym.c in order not to
|
||
leak file descriptors.
|
||
- Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>
|
||
- improve crunch_list()
|
||
- Prevent potential buffer overflow in reading messages from the
|
||
kernel log ringbuffer.
|
||
- Ensure that "len" is not placed in a register, and that the
|
||
endtty() signal handler is not installed too early which could
|
||
cause a segmentation fault or worse.
|
||
- Steve Grubb <linux_4ever@yahoo.com>
|
||
- fix memory calculation in crunch_list()
|
||
- Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org>
|
||
- klogd will reconnect to the logger (mostly syslogd) after it went
|
||
away
|
||
- On heavily loaded system syslog will not spit out error messages
|
||
anymore when recvfrom() results in EAGAIN
|
||
- Makefile improvements
|
||
- Local copy of module.h
|
||
- Improved sysklogd.8
|
||
- Always log with syslogd's timezone and locale
|
||
- Remove trailing newline when forwarding messages
|
||
- Continue working properly if /etc/service is missing and ignore
|
||
network activity
|
||
- Continue writing to log files as soon as space becomes available
|
||
again after a filled up disk
|
||
- Removed test to detect control characters > 0x20 as this prevented
|
||
characters encoded in UTF-8 to be properly passed through
|
||
- Only resolve the local domain when accepting messages from remote
|
||
- Properly accompany the MARK message with the facility
|
||
- Improved daemonise routine in klogd to stabilise startup
|
||
- klogd will not change the console log level anymore unless -c is given
|
||
- Added back /usr/src/linux/System.map as fall-back location
|
||
- Rewrote the module symbol parser to read from /proc/kallsyms
|
||
- Notify the waiting parent process if the client dies so it doesn't
|
||
wait the entire five minutes.
|
||
- Complete rewrite of the oops kernel module for Linux 2.6
|
||
- Only read kernel symbols from /proc/kallsyms if no System.map has been read
|
||
- Improved symbol lookup
|
||
- Prevent named pipes from becoming the controlling tty
|
||
- Jon Burgess <Jon_Burgess@eur.3com.com>
|
||
- Moved the installation of the signal handler up a little bit so it
|
||
guaranteed to be available when the child is forked, hence, fixing a
|
||
race condition. This used to create problems with UML and fast
|
||
machines.
|
||
- Greg Trounson <gregt@maths.otago.ac.nz>
|
||
- Improved README.linux
|
||
- Ulf H<>rnhammar <Ulf.Harnhammar.9485@student.uu.se>
|
||
- Boundary check for fscanf() in InitKsyms() and CheckMapVersion()
|
||
- Colin Phipps <cph@cph.demon.co.uk>
|
||
- Don't block on the network socket in case of packet loss
|
||
- Dirk Mueller <mueller@kde.org>
|
||
- Don't crash when filesize limit is reached (e.g. without LFS)
|
||
- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>
|
||
- Fix spurious hanging syslogd in connection with futex and NPTL
|
||
introduced in recent glibc versions and Linux 2.6
|
||
(Details: http://bugs.debian.org/301511)
|
||
- Eric Tucker <et@tallmaple.com>
|
||
- Improved syslog.conf(5) manpage
|
||

|
||
- use socklen_t where appropriate
|
||
- Kelledin <kelledin@skarpsey.dyndns.org>
|
||
- use newer query_module function rather than stepping through /dev/kmem.
|
||
- Matthew Fischer <futhark@vzavenue.net>
|
||
- Remove special treatment of the percent sign in klogd
|
||
|
||
|
||
[v1.4.1][] - 2001-03-11
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
- klogd will set the console log level only if `-c' is given on the
|
||
commandline, not overwriting local settings in `/etc/sysctl.conf'.
|
||
- Bugfix: klogd will use SOCK_DGRM as well, re-enables kernel logging
|
||
- Bugfix: Don't make syslogd fail with broken `-a'
|
||
- Bugfix: klogd will skip zero bytes and not enter a busy loop anymore
|
||
- Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>
|
||
- Patch to prevent LogLine() from being invoked with a negative
|
||
counter as an argument.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[v1.4][] - 2000-09-19
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
- Skip newline when reading in klog messages
|
||
- Use lseek64() instead of llseek() which is deprecated these days
|
||
- Close symbol file before returning with 0 when an error occurred
|
||
while reading it. This will enable systems to umount that
|
||
partition with no open file descriptor left over.
|
||
- Solar Designer <solar@false.com>
|
||
- printline() fixes
|
||
- priority decoding fix
|
||
- Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
|
||
- printchopped() fix
|
||
- Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>
|
||
- Fixed bug that caused klogd to die if there is no sym_array available.
|
||
- When symbols are expanded, print the line twice. Once with
|
||
addresses converted to symbols, once with the raw text. Allows
|
||
external programs such as ksymoops do their own processing on the
|
||
original data.
|
||
- Olaf Kirch <okir@caldera.de>
|
||
- Remove Unix Domain Sockets and switch to Datagram Unix Sockets
|
||
- Several bugfixes and improvements, please refer to the .c files
