[User-mode-linux-devel] 2.3.99-pre3 is checked in

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

It's been updated to 2.3.99-pre3.

I changed the network driver to try running ifconfig if um_ifconfig failed and 
the kernel is being running as root.  I also broke apart a trio of ioctls so 
that each produces a different error message on failure.  It turns out that 
various distros have different permissions on pts devices, and some (like 
Debian) don't allow normal users to allocate them.  This change allows that to 
be debugged more easily.

I fixed the Mandrake crash by turning on read permissions to an mmapped 
segment that's going to be written.

I fixed a hang that was caused by a signal handler failing to execute because 
its stack had been swapped out.  The kernel-mode syscall handler now forces 
the stack back in by referencing it, causing it to be faulting back in if 
necessary.  This is the bug that was causing kernel builds to fail more often 
than not.  For some reason, this showed up best while doing makes.

Eliminated the bogus include of tasks.h from irq.c.
