The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides
|
||
many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to
|
||
run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal
|
||
modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track
|
||
upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of
|
||
maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux
|
||
primitives.
|
||
|
||
To build packages for your distribution:
|
||
|
||
$ ./configure
|
||
$ make pkg
|
||
|
||
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin
|
||
compilation:
|
||
|
||
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
|
||
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
|
||
|
||
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can
|
||
