e5642119ee Patch from Thomas Cameron:
Hello all,
	    This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system.  Almost
    all applets now have a help entry.  Also, I cleaned up the spacing of
    the existing text so that things are consistent.  This patch is against
    this morning's CVS.

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.

    Hmm. Current init.c have check >= 2.2.0 kernel one time too.
    Ok. Last patch removed this point and move common init code to new file for
    /init dir

2c1de61023 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.

c9f20d9fb9 Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerably
modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc.  With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system.  I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

e8a90fb2bc After thinking about it, I think this patch from Matt Kraai is probably the
best way to go.  Sysvinit does not provide a controlling tty since it doesn't
even try to open ttys for apps.  We do.  So we should _try_ to provide a
controlling tty if possible, but we needn't freak out if it doesn't work.  This
way we won't need to use openvt or similar, we'll just have init do the Right
Thing(tm).

    Last patch correcting comment for #endif and more integrated
    with libbb (very reduce size if used "cat" applet also).
    Requires last_patch61 for modutils/config.in.

a920871c3a Ignoring SIGCHLD causes a race leading to the occasional hang of init
when init will wait() on itself in waitfor() when the child exits before
init is scheduled to run.  Letting init hang is very seriously bad.

85208e2ab9 Completely rework the config system so that it no longer annoys me to work on
the busybox development tree.  This eliminates the use of recursive make, and
once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result.
And things are now much faster too.  Greatly improved IMHO...

53a2299230 Patch from Russ Dill <Russ.Dill@asu.edu>. From the
start-stop-daemon man page:

-b|--background
        Typically used with programs that don't detach on their own.
        This option will force start-stop-daemon to fork before starting
        the process, and force it into the background. WARNING:
        start-stop-daemon cannot check the exit status if the process
        fails to execute for any reason. This is a last resort, and is
        only meant for programs that either make no sense forking on
        their own, or where it's not feasible to add the code for it to
        do this itself.

This is usefull for applets like watchdog
