reparented to init...

last_patch97 from vodz

Here's a pretty crude patch to reload /etc/inittab when init receives a
SIGHUP. The mailing list archives weren't entirely clear on whether or
not it should already happen, but didn't appear to be.
The patch:
* Adds a new function, reload_signal() which just calls
parse_inittab() and run_actions(RESPAWN)
* Before entering the while (1) loop set up SIGHUP to call
reload_signal()
* Modify new_init_action to skip the action if the same command
already exists on the same terminal
This last bit means that changing already running entries is a bit
hairy as you can end up with, for example, two shells running on the
same virtual console. However, for solely adding/removing entries this patch
seems to work quite well.

Hello all,
This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system. Almost
all applets now have a help entry. Also, I cleaned up the spacing of
the existing text so that things are consistent. This patch is against
this morning's CVS.

The attached two patches add config documentation to init/Config.in and
fileutils/Config.in.

I've found a problem with job control when the init process is restarted.
If the system boots for the first time, I get job control on a serial terminal -
no problems. However, when I restart init by issuing "init -q", then the shell
no longer has job control.
I traced this a problem in console_init in the file init.c. What was happening
after the restart is that the first compare
if (ioctl(0, TIOCGSERIAL, &sr) == 0) {
...
} else if (ioctl(0, VT_GETSTATE, &vt) == 0) {
...
} else {
... // assume /dev/console
}
returned error and subsequently the code assumes /dev/console as the console,
which does not support job control.
Checking the errno after the first call showed that the system was complaining
about the file descriptor. This is probably because the previous init process
had closed all its file descriptors which the new init process had inherited.

Hmm. Current init.c have check >= 2.2.0 kernel one time too.
Ok. Last patch removed this point and move common init code to new file for
/init dir

over the years. Well I finally took the time to track this down. It turns out
that inside linux/kernel/sys.c the kernel will call
machine_halt();
do_exit(0);
when halting, or will call
machine_power_off();
do_exit(0);
during a reboot. Unlike sysv init, we call reboot from within the init
process, so if the call to machine_halt() or machine_power_off() returns, the call to do_exit(0) will cause the kernel to panic. Which is a very
bad thing to happen.
So I just added this little patch to fork and call the reboot
syscall from within the forked child process, thereby neatly
avoiding the problem.
But IMHO, both calls to do_exit(0) within linux/kernel/sys.c
are bugs and should be fixed.

modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

best way to go. Sysvinit does not provide a controlling tty since it doesn't
even try to open ttys for apps. We do. So we should _try_ to provide a
controlling tty if possible, but we needn't freak out if it doesn't work. This
way we won't need to use openvt or similar, we'll just have init do the Right
Thing(tm).

New complex patch for decrease size devel version. Requires previous patch.
Also removed small problems from dutmp and tar applets.
Also includes vodz' last_patch61_2:
Last patch correcting comment for #endif and more integrated
with libbb (very reduce size if used "cat" applet also).
Requires last_patch61 for modutils/config.in.

when init will wait() on itself in waitfor() when the child exits before
init is scheduled to run. Letting init hang is very seriously bad.

descriptor, setsid() inconsistancy, and silly string handling bugs. I have
modified his patch to allow the askfirst init actions to have a controlling
terminal.

the busybox development tree. This eliminates the use of recursive make, and
once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result.
And things are now much faster too. Greatly improved IMHO...
