[PATCH] audit/accounting: tty locking
Add tty locking around the audit and accounting code. The whole current->signal-> locking is all deeply strange but it's for someone else to sort out. Add rather than replace the lock for acct.c Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
