3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

4fea2838aa [PATCH] Software suspend and recalc sigpending bug fix
This patch fixes recalc_sigpending() to work correctly with tasks which are
being freezed.

The problem is that freeze_processes() sets PF_FREEZE and TIF_SIGPENDING
flags on tasks, but recalc_sigpending() called from e.g.
sys_rt_sigtimedwait or any other kernel place will clear TIF_SIGPENDING due
to no pending signals queued and the tasks won't be freezed until it
recieves a real signal or freezed_processes() fail due to timeout.

c33880aadd [PATCH] sigkill priority fix
If SIGKILL does not have priority, we cannot instantly kill task before it
makes some unexpected job.  It can be critical, but we were unable to
reproduce this easily until Heiko Carstens <Heiko.Carstens@de.ibm.com>
reported this problem on LKML.

c2f0c7c356 The attached patch addresses the problem with getting the audit daemon
shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type 
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the 
shutdown. 

It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The 
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing 
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and 
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a 
manageable risk.

The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it 
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information. 
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks 
like this:

type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650 
uid=525, auditd pid=1685

7ed20e1ad5 [PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()
Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use
valid_signal().  This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors.

6cae60feb6 [PATCH] kill #ifndef HAVE_ARCH_GET_SIGNAL_TO_DELIVER in signal.c
Now that no architectures defines HAVE_ARCH_GET_SIGNAL_TO_DELIVER anymore
this can go away.  It was a transitional hack only.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
