| |
Hello,
Mathias Krause reports that a buggy (or special) /sbin/init can crash the kernel if it sends a signal to its pgrp/sid before it changes its initial (0,0) pids. See the changelog for 1/4.
git-bisect blames "start the global /sbin/init with 0,0 special pids" commit 430c623121ea88ca80595c99fdc63b7f8a803ae5, but in fact the problem was caused by another change, see 2/4.
The patches do not depend on each other, 3/4 fixes another problem, 4/4 is purely cosmetic.
Oleg.
