* Remove CHILD_MAXRoland McGrath2007-07-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CHILD_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there. It claims to be the limit on processes a user can own, but its value is wrong for that. There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NPROC). Nothing in the kernel uses CHILD_MAX. The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define CHILD_MAX at all. The sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.

* Remove OPEN_MAXRoland McGrath2007-07-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The OPEN_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there. It claims to be the limit on file descriptors in a process, but its value is wrong for that. There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). Nothing in the kernel uses OPEN_MAX except things that are wrong to do so. I've submitted other patches to remove those uses. The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define OPEN_MAX at all. The sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
