shell_builtin_read: set cc[VMIN] to 1; lineedit: don't clear c_cc[VINTR]
First change fixes "read -n NUM". Apparently poll() won't report data availability if cc[VMIN] > 1 until there are at least cc[VMIN] bytes. function old new delta read_line_input 3885 3877 -8 shell_builtin_read 1097 1087 -10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-18) Total: -18 bytes Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
