Static ISA field is empty and probably will never be filled in, remove it. The driver still supports ISA cards passed through module parameter.

2008-04-30SGI Altix mmtimer: allow larger number of timers per nodeDimitri Sivanich
The purpose of this patch to the SGI Altix specific mmtimer (posix timer) driver is to allow a virtually infinite number of timers to be set per node. Timers will now be kept on a sorted per-node list and a single node-based hardware comparator is used to trigger the next timer.

2008-04-30tty_ioctl: soft carrier handlingAlan Cox
First cut at moving the soft carrier handling knowledge entirely into the core code. One or two drivers still needed to snoop these functions to track CLOCAL internally. Instead make TIOCSSOFTCAR generate the same driver calls as other termios ioctls changing the clocal flag. This allows us to remove any driver knowledge and special casing. Also while we are at it we can fix the error handling.

Refine these behaviors in the N_TTY line discipline: 1) Handle the signal characters consistently when received in a stopped TTY so that SUSP (typically ctrl-Z) behaves like INTR and QUIT in resuming a stopped TTY. 2) Adjust the order in which the IGNCR/ICRNL/INLCR processing is applied to be more logical and consistent with the behavior of other Unix systems.

2008-04-30redo locking of tty->pgrpAlan Cox
Historically tty->pgrp and friends were pid_t and the code "knew" they were safe. The change to pid structs opened up a few races and the removal of the BKL in places made them quite hittable.

This one could do with some eyeballs on it. In theory it simply wraps the ioctl handler in lock/unlock_kernel ready for the lock/unlocks to be pushed into specific switch values.

2008-04-30ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/initOleg Nesterov
Afaics, currently there are no kernel problems with ptracing init, it can't lose SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag and be killed/stopped by accident. The ability to strace/debug init can be very useful if you try to figure out why it does not work as expected. However, admin should know what he does, "gdb /sbin/init 1" stops init, it can't reap orphaned zombies or take care of /etc/inittab until continued. It is even possible to crash init (and thus the whole system) if you wish, ptracer has full control.

2008-04-30signals: allow the kernel to actually kill /sbin/initOleg Nesterov
Currently the buggy /sbin/init hangs if SIGSEGV/etc happens. The kernel sends the signal, init dequeues it and ignores, returns from the exception, repeats the faulting instruction, and so on forever. Imho, such a behaviour is not good.

2008-04-30signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signalsOleg Nesterov
The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal signals. - The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver() protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread. If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader), this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have. - Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this is just wrong. Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches. Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: "Eric W.
