Re: [Xen-devel] 46% performance drop with change in glibc

 The crippled ABI is supported by the code in /lib/i686/nosegneg.  
This code is *automatically* used if the kernel is

linux-2.6-xen-vdso-note.patch
  I believe we have this patch in the xen repo, but I haven't ever 
verified whether the right thing happens under FC4.
  I am not seeing this patch in ./patches/linux-2.6.12 
directory.  Is it somewhere else?
 
 
It should be in the main tree. The appended patch was included some time
ago, but I've never tested it to see whether it works since I don't
generally run bleeding edge Fedora.
Is there some piece of the patch missing?
  No, it's all there.  Only part I needed was the change to ld.so.conf.  
So, anyone with FC4, you might want to make sure you have the entry 
"hwcap 0 nosegneg".  It looks like the performance regression has 
disappeared now.  Thanks all for you help.
