I'm not really certain what the thinking was but the code obviously wanted to walk processes other than just those in it's session, for purposes of do_SAK. Just walking those tasks that don't have a session assigned sounds at the very least incomplete. So modify the code to kill everything in the session and anything else that might have the tty open. Hopefully this helps if the do_SAK functionality is ever finished. Signed-off-by:

We already have the tasklist_lock so there is no need for us to reacquire it with send_group_sig_info. reader/writer locks allow multiple readers and thus recursion so the old code was ok just wastful. Signed-off-by:

I think it is enough to take tasklist_lock for reading while changing child_reaper: Reparenting needs write_lock(tasklist_lock) Only one thread in a thread group can do exec() sighand->siglock garantees that get_signal_to_deliver() will not see a stale value of child_reaper. This means that we can change child_reaper earlier, without calling zap_other_threads() twice. "child_reaper = current" is a NOOP when init does exec from main thread, we don't care. Signed-off-by:

After looking at the problem of init calling exec some more I figured out an easy way to make the code work. The actual symptom without out this patch is that all threads will die except pid == 1, and the thread calling exec. The thread calling exec will wait forever for pid == 1 to die. Since pid == 1 does not install a handler for SIGKILL it will never die. This modifies the tests for init from current->pid == 1 to the equivalent current == child_reaper. And then it causes exec in the ugly case to modify child_reaper. The only weird symptom is that you wind up with an init process that doesn't have the oldest start time on the box. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch adds support for the Intel ixp23xx series of CPUs. The ixp23xx is an XSC3 based CPU with 512K of L2 cache, a 64bit 66MHz PCI interface, two DDR RAM interfaces, QDR RAM interfaces, two gigabit MACs, two 10/100 MACs, expansion bus, four microengines, a Media and Switch Fabric unit almost identical to the one on the ixp2400, two xscale (8250ish) UARTs and a bunch of other stuff. This patch adds the core ixp23xx support code, and support for the ADI Engineering Roadrunner, Intel IXDP2351, and IP Fabrics Double Espresso platforms. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core. This is an ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions: - L2 cache - I/O coherency support (on select chipsets) - Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache) - Supersections (v6 compatible) - 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible) - Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate - LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin) I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3 cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it is simpler to keep it separate. L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to capture command line parameters at this point. There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those can be addressed down the road. Signed-off-by:

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by:
