I've found a problem with job control when the init process is restarted.

If the system boots for the first time, I get job control on a serial terminal -
no problems. However, when I restart init by issuing "init -q", then the shell
no longer has job control.

I traced this a problem in console_init in the file init.c. What was happening
after the restart is that the first compare

    if (ioctl(0, TIOCGSERIAL, &sr) == 0) {
...
    } else if (ioctl(0, VT_GETSTATE, &vt) == 0) {
...
    } else {
... // assume /dev/console
    }

returned error and subsequently the code assumes /dev/console as the console,
which does not support job control.

Checking the errno after the first call showed that the system was complaining
about the file descriptor. This is probably because the previous init process
had closed all its file descriptors which the new init process had inherited.

    (1) It swaps all calls to 'ip link set' and 'ip addr set'.  This solves
    two problems:

      (a) Calling 'ip link set <dev> up' before assigning an address

      (b) Under User Mode Linux, running in with ethernet interfaces
      in daemon mode, the MAC address for an interface is selected
      based on the IP address assigned to that interface.  If the
      interface is brought up before being assigned an IP address,
      it gets a null MAC.

    (2) It further cleans up run_mapping().

Eric Andersen [Thu, 24 Apr 2003 11:41:28 +0000 (11:41 -0000)]
There have been many reports of init failing to reboot and/or failing to halt
over the years.  Well I finally took the time to track this down.  It turns out
that inside linux/kernel/sys.c the kernel will call
    machine_halt();
    do_exit(0);
when halting, or will call
    machine_power_off();
    do_exit(0);

during a reboot.  Unlike sysv init, we call reboot from within the init
process, so if the call to machine_halt() or machine_power_off() returns,                                       the call to do_exit(0) will cause the kernel to panic.  Which is a very
bad thing to happen.

So I just added this little patch to fork and call the reboot
syscall from within the forked child process, thereby neatly
avoiding the problem.

But IMHO, both calls to do_exit(0) within linux/kernel/sys.c
are bugs and should be fixed.
