There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

/* ** HP VISUALIZE Workstation PCI Bus Defect ** ** "HP has discovered a potential system defect that can affect ** the behavior of five models of HP VISUALIZE workstations when ** equipped with third-party or customer-installed PCI I/O expansion ** cards. The defect is limited to the HP C180, C160, C160L, B160L, ** and B132L VISUALIZE workstations, and will only be encountered ** when data is transmitted through PCI I/O expansion cards on the ** PCI bus. HP-supplied graphics cards that utilize the PCI bus are ** not affected." ** ** REVISIT: "go/pci_defect" link below is stale. ** HP Internal can use <http://hpfcdma.fc.hp.com:80/Dino/> ** ** Product First Good Serial Number ** C200/C240 (US) US67350000 **B132L+/B180 (US) US67390000 ** C200 (Europe) 3713G01000 ** B180L (Europe) 3720G01000 ** ** Note that many boards were fixed/replaced under a free replacement ** program.
