2006-02-07[PATCH] uml: close TUN/TAP file descriptorsJeff Dike
When UML opens a TUN/TAP device, the file descriptor could be copied into later, long-lived threads, holding the device open even after the interface is taken down, preventing it from being brought up again. This patch makes these descriptors close-on-exec so that they disappear from helper processes, and adds CLONE_FILES to a UML helper thread so that the descriptors are closed in the thread when they are closed elsewhere in UML.

2005-09-05[PATCH] uml: fix SIGWINCH handler race while waiting for signals.Bodo Stroesser
If a SIGWINCH comes in, while winch_thread() isn't waiting in wait(), winch_thread could miss signals. It isn't very probable, that anyone will see this causing trouble, as it would need a very special timing, that a missed SIGWINCH results in a wrong window size. So, this is a minor problem. But why not fix, as it can be done so easy?

2005-06-08[PATCH] uml: clean up error pathJeff Dike
This cleans an error path which used to leak file descriptors by returning without trying to tidy up.

2005-06-08[PATCH] uml: compile fixes for gcc 4Jeff Dike
This is a bunch of compile fixes provoked by building UML with gcc 4. There are a bunch of signedness mismatches, a couple of uninitialized references, and a botched C99 structure initialization which had somehow gone unnoticed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
