The kernel now checks owner/group/other on open, create, unlink, rename, exec
and path search; honours set-user-id and set-group-id; restricts kill, mount,
reboot and mknod; keeps supplementary groups; and implements chown. devtmpfs
nodes carry owners and modes that chmod/chown keep. Terminals run login, the
image has root and schos, X starts as the ordinary user.

- SIGSTOP/SIGTSTP/SIGTTIN/SIGTTOU stop, SIGCONT resumes; the parent gets
SIGCHLD and wait4 reports WUNTRACED/WCONTINUED; ps shows T. Ctrl-Z works,
and mc no longer hangs waiting for its subshell to stop.
- Blocking reads (console, pty, pipe) and sleeps take a pending stop and
carry on after SIGCONT; a caught signal without SA_RESTART ends them
with EINTR.
- nanosleep reads tv_nsec (sleep 0.5 used to return at once), writes the
remainder, and clock_nanosleep understands TIMER_ABSTIME.
- rt_sigaction uses the k_sigaction layout for Linux-ABI processes: the old
action's restorer was written 112 bytes past the caller's struct. Flags
are kept; SIGKILL and SIGSTOP cannot be caught.
- F1..F12 reach programs, as the Linux console sends them (PS/2, USB, I2C).
- TIOCLINUX subcode 6 answers "no modifiers" instead of echoing the 6 back.

- /dev/ptmx and /dev/pts/N: Unix98 pairs with a full line discipline,
window sizes, job control and hangup (kernel/dev/pty.c).
- The console speaks scroll regions, insert/delete line, SU/SD, RI/IND/NEL,
DECSC/DECRC; swallows charset designations and private CSI sequences;
and LF only returns the carriage under ONLCR.
- setsid() drops the controlling terminal, so a pane's pty becomes its ctty.
- pipe2() honours O_NONBLOCK and O_CLOEXEC (libevent's signal pipe).
- File modes are stored and enforced: chmod, fchmod(at), umask, creation
modes; /tmp is 1777.
- /proc/stat has real user/system/idle; /proc/<pid>/task; kthread flag.
- SO_PEERCRED, IOV_MAX 1024.
- /proc/strace: name a program and its syscalls go to the kernel log.
- World gains htop, btop, tmux, mc, ncdu, fastfetch, games, X toys, NetSurf.
