2005-09-07[PATCH] fix send_sigqueue() vs thread exit raceOleg Nesterov
posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case) does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks task list. But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops (->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand). This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be done atomically under tasklist_lock. When send_sigqueue() detects exiting thread it returns -1. In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal to thread group. Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event.

2005-07-28[PATCH] posix timers: fix normalization problemGeorge Anzinger
(We found this (after a customer complained) and it is in the kernel.org kernel. Seems that for CLOCK_MONOTONIC absolute timers and clock_nanosleep calls both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted prior to the normalize resulting in an overflow in the existing normalize test. This causes the result to be shifted ~4 seconds ahead instead of ~2 seconds back in time.) The normalize code in posix-timers.c fails when the tv_nsec member is ~1.2 seconds negative. This can happen on absolute timers (and clock_nanosleeps) requested on CLOCK_MONOTONIC (both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted resulting in the possibility of a number close to -2 seconds.) This fix uses the set_normalized_timespec() (which does not have an overflow problem) to fix the problem and as a side effect makes the code cleaner.

2005-06-23[PATCH] posix-timers: use try_to_del_timer_sync()Oleg Nesterov
sys_timer_settime/sys_timer_delete needs to delete k_itimer->real.timer synchronously while holding ->it_lock, which is also locked in posix_timer_fn. This patch removes timer_active/set_timer_inactive which plays with timer_list's internals in favour of using try_to_del_timer_sync(), which was introduced in the previous patch.

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!
