Hi! I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6. That is, one runs command like 'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options' and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists. I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing is needed at all to whether it coded properly. 'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that. One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first. egor

It looks like latest uClibc defines ARCH_HAS_MMU, but a few busybox files test UCLIBC_HAS_MMU, resulting in vfork() getting called instead of fork(), etc. Patch below. Only tested for lash. Cheers, -Jamie

By adding debug message in init/init.c, I found the problem: when init restart(in exec_signal()), before open the new terminal device, there is still a file opened(I don't know which file it is), so the terminal device(stdin) get fd '1', and the first dup(0)(stdout) return '2', the second(stderr) return '3'. I attach a simple patch to solve this problem.

2003-07-22Patch from Andrew Flegg:Eric Andersen
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. Thomas Cameron CEI Systems, Inc.

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.

2003-05-11minit, a Minimal init system.Glenn L McGrath
2003-04-24There have been many reports of init failing to reboot and/or failing to haltEric Andersen
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. -Erik

2002-10-12After thinking about it, I think this patch from Matt Kraai is probably theEric Andersen
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).
