Every process now has an init process like it has a session, and each
session belong to an init. Orphaned processes are reparented to its init
process. All descendent processes are SIGKILL'd when an init process exits
and creating additional processes/threads fails.
Add setinit(2) for becoming the init process for your child processes and
add getinit(2) for locating your init process.
Add TIOCSCTTY force flag that releases a terminal from its current session
and makes it the controlling terminal for the current session. This ioctl
is essential to transferring the controlling terminal to a nested init,
which has its own session.
Add TIOCUCTTY that releases the terminal as the controlling terminal for
its current session.
Remove INIT_PID as it is replaced by getinit(2).
This change refactors the process group implementation and adds support
for sessions. The setsid(2) and getsid(2) system calls were added.
psctl(2) now has PSCTL_TTYNAME, which lets you get the name of a process's
terminal, and ps(1) now uses it.
The initial terminal is now called /dev/tty1.
/dev/tty is now a factory for the current terminal.
A global lock now protects the process hierarchy which makes it safe to
access other processes. This refactor removes potential vulnerabilities
and increases system robustness.
A number of terminal ioctls have been added.
This is a compatible ABI change.
