Xi Ruoyao	111194c5b7	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/trunk' into xry111/arm64	2022-09-25 16:57:46 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	8f641ee861	arm64: grub cfg: add quote to avoid "escaping" Windoge-style loader path	2022-09-25 16:57:15 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	c0a0f2536c	arm64: grub cfg: some improvements ... - Ensure /boot/efi is created before mounting ESP. - Delete already existing "LFS" boot entry in efivar. - Umount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars after running efibootmgr (or it causing troubles in "umount /sys"). - Mention "-e 3" which is needed for some UEFI implementation.	2022-09-25 15:30:30 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	f427ba2336	kernel: adjust the instruction for mounting /boot ... LFS and the host may use different /boot configuration, so do not assume they'll share a /boot partition (two different /boot partition or only one with separate /boot are possible).	2022-09-25 15:16:23 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	ef6e958f10	arm64: remove reference to GRUB Bios Partition	2022-09-25 13:52:49 +08:00

Xi Ruoyao	8880478685	arm64: libffi: document known test failures	2022-09-25 13:21:41 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	5a50f61663	arm64: elfutils: adapt a test failure note ... The same test fails on arm64 too.	2022-09-25 13:19:05 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	7344a7fc19	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/trunk' into xry111/arm64	2022-09-25 13:18:16 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	f4066122e0	libelf: add a x86 specific test failure ... It's caused by a minor GAS issue, which should be fixed in binutils-2.40. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29450 and https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29451.	2022-09-25 12:56:08 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	ad9fbd14ae	mounting: create &fstab; conventional entity and use it	2022-09-24 18:56:45 +08:00
Xi Ruoyao	f001ece905	creatingfilesystem: Refine the condition where a FS is needed ... For example, a swap partition does not contain any FS. And, if you want to clone a partition, you can use dd if=/dev/<old-partition> of=/dev/<new-partition> then it's unnecessary to create a FS on new-partition before operation. This is sometimes faster than creating a new FS, mounting both partition, then "cp -av" if the old-partition contains many small files.	2022-09-24 18:48:50 +08:00

Bruce Dubbs	16cd09633e	Adjust instructions for /dev/shm when creating virtual filesystems. ... Some host create /dev/shm as a tmpfs. Some have is as a symlink to a location in another directory. This change handles both cases. The change to the sysV bootscripts now creates /dev/shm as a separate tmpfs from /run. This makes LFS sysV and systemd versions treat /dev/shm the same.	2022-09-20 12:20:58 -05:00
