[User-mode-linux-devel] 2.3.99-pre6 changes are checked in

[Jeff D. <jd...@ka...>]

I've started phasing out the fhd device name and the major number 68 in favor 
of the official ubd name and its official major number 98.  fhd will work for 
a while.  At this point it shares its state with the ubd driver.

The umn driver now supports the umn=[ip address] switch on the command line.

The idle loop now sleeps instead of spinning.

I fixed a whole batch of signal delivery bugs including:
	They are delivered one at a time with a kernel exit each time to allow the 
signal mask to be reset correctly.
	Unhandled seg faults are now passed along to the process
	sigcontext_structs are now passed in to signal handlers

Fixed the stack limit bug that Gerald Britton found.  The problem there was 
that bad things happened when the user-mode kernel put stacks within the 
stacklimit range of the real stack.  The fix was to set the stacklimit down if 
it is too large and made sure that all other stacks are outside that limit.

One more thing that you should be aware of is that devfs changed its default 
behavior in this release.  It no longer mounts itself by default.  So, if 
you're using devfs, you should start adding 'devfs=mount' to the command line, 
or the kernel won't boot too well.
