      [PATCH] Fix si_band type in asm-generic/siginfo.h · b614db14
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
      
      POSIX says si_band in siginfo_t must be long. glibc uses this, except
      for Alpha.
      
      This type must be correct on little endian machines, otherwise
      Konqueror does not get any events from dnotity for created/deleted files.
      
      Currenly asm-generic/siginfo.h uses int, which is wrong.
      
      This patch adds a new macro __ARCH_SI_BAND_T which is int for alpha
      and long for everybody else. This makes the type on x86-64 come out
      correctly

      [PATCH] missing bit from signal patches · cdf24f56
      Stephen Rothwell authored
      The following should allow the affected architectures to build in
      2.5.19 as currently there will be two definitions of
      copy_siginfo_to_user and if an architecture defines its own
      siginfo_t it MUST define copy_siginfo().

      [PATCH] Third version of signal changes for thread groups · 676952b9
      Dave McCracken authored
      During the course of developing our pthread library (the NGPT pthread
      library) it became clear we needed some kernel support for handling
      signals.  This patch helps the library by redirecting all signals sent
      to tasks in a thread group to the thread group leader.  It also defines
      the tkill() system call so the library can signal a specific task if
      necessary. 
      
      Given that as far as I know NGPT is the only user of thread groups, and
      that this change would benefit any other user of thread groups, I'm
      submitting this for inclusion in the 2.5 kernel.
      
      Note that this patch also adds support for sys_gettid() for the
      architectures that don't have it.  While this could have been split into a
      spearate patch, it would create conflicts since this patch also adds
      sys_tkill(), so I felt it was cleaner to leave them together.
