From e3bcf5e2785aa49f75f36a8d27d601891a7ff12b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ronald G. Minnich" Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2007 21:07:24 +1000 Subject: lguest: avoid shared libraries mapped over guest memory Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest memory, so compile lguest statically by default. [ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's physical memory. Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is for 2.6.24. ] -static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so Signed-off-by: Ronald G.
