d20894a237 Remove a.out interpreter support in ELF loader
Following the deprecation schedule the a.out ELF interpreter support
is removed now with this patch. a.out ELF interpreters were an transition
feature for moving a.out systems to ELF, but they're unlikely to be still
needed. Pure a.out systems will still work of course. This allows to
simplify the hairy ELF loader.

f84e3f521e mount options: add documentation
This series addresses the problem of showing mount options in
/proc/mounts.

Several filesystems which use mount options, have not implemented a
.show_options superblock operation.  Several others have implemented
this callback, but have not kept it fully up to date with the parsed
options.

Q: Why do we need correct option showing in /proc/mounts?
A: We want /proc/mounts to fully replace /etc/mtab.  The reasons for
   this are:
    - unprivileged mounters won't be able to update /etc/mtab
    - /etc/mtab doesn't work with private mount namespaces
    - /etc/mtab can become out-of-sync with reality

Q: Can't this be done, so that filesystems need not bother with
   implementing a .show_mounts callback, and keeping it up to date?
A: Only in some cases.  Certain filesystems allow modification of a
   subset of options in their remount_fs method.  It is not possible
   to take this into account without knowing exactly how the
   filesystem handles options.

For the simple case (no remount or remount resets all options) the
patchset introduces two helpers:

  generic_show_options()
  save_mount_options()

These can also be used to emulate the old /etc/mtab behavior, until
proper support is added.  Even if this is not 100% correct, it's still
better than showing no options at all.

The following patches fix up most in-tree filesystems, some have been
compile tested only, some have been reviewed and acked by the
maintainer.

262bf54144 aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devices
When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device
is created.  If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote
device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling
the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices.

Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE
devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until
the I/O attempt times out.

8ff12cfc00 SLUB: Support for performance statistics
The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but
at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in
SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the
statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache
footprint of SLUB.

There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime
statistics and its off by default.

The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options:

-D 	Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size
	mode to activity mode.

-A	Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of
	the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load.

-r	Report option will report detailed statistics on

Example (tbench load):

slabinfo -AD		->Shows the most active slabs

So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.
Pretty high load on the 192 sized slab. Look for the aliases

slabinfo -a | grep 000192
:0000192     <- xfs_btree_cur filp kmalloc-192 uid_cache tw_sock_TCP
	request_sock_TCPv6 tw_sock_TCPv6 skbuff_head_cache xfs_ili

Likely skbuff_head_cache.


Looking into the statistics of the skbuff_fclone_cache is possible through

slabinfo skbuff_fclone_cache	->-r option implied if cache name is mentioned

Descriptions of the output:

Total:		The total number of allocation and frees that occurred for a
		slab

Fastpath:	The number of allocations/frees that used the fastpath.

Slowpath:	Other allocations

Page Alloc:	Number of calls to the page allocator as a result of slowpath
		processing

Add Partial:	Number of slabs added to the partial list through free or
		alloc (occurs during cpuslab flushes)

Remove Partial:	Number of slabs removed from the partial list as a result of
		allocations retrieving a partial slab or by a free freeing
		the last object of a slab.

RemoteObj/Froz:	How many times were remotely freed object encountered when a
		slab was about to be deactivated. Frozen: How many times was
		free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use
		as the cpuslab of another processor.

Flushes:	Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request
		(kmem_cache_shrink, may result from races in __slab_alloc)

Refill:		Number of times we were able to refill the cpuslab from
		remotely freed objects for the same slab.

Deactivate:	Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were
		put onto the partial list.

In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is
also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which
may potentially cause list lock contention.

12debc4248 iget: remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsolete
Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses
as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce
proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an
inode bad).

Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by
number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem.

iget_locked() should be used instead.  A new function is added in an earlier
patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it
and release it should the get routine fail.  Mark iget() and read_inode() as
being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation.

Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function
becomes an internal iget function, for example the following:

	void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)
	{
		...
	}

would be changed into something like:

	struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)
	{
		struct inode *inode;
		int ret;

		inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
		if (!inode)
			return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
		if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW))
			return inode;

		...
		unlock_new_inode(inode);
		return inode;
	error:
		iget_failed(inode);
		return ERR_PTR(ret);
	}

and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example:

	ret = -EINVAL;
	inode = iget(sb, ino);
	if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))
		goto error;

becomes:

	inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);
	if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
		ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
		goto error;
	}

Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called.  The error returned by
thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.

fef1bdd68c oom: add sysctl to enable task memory dump
Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a
dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an
OOM-killing.  Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu,
oom_adj score, and name.

This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which
rogue task caused it.

It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several
thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping
data they may not desire.

If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist
shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same
cgroup.

8dc4f3e17d cgroups: move cgroups destroy() callbacks to cgroup_diput()
Move the calls to the cgroup subsystem destroy() methods from
cgroup_rmdir() to cgroup_diput().  This allows control file reads and
writes to access their subsystem state without having to be concerned with
locking against cgroup destruction - the control file dentry will keep the
cgroup and its subsystem state objects alive until the file is closed.

The documentation is updated to reflect the changed semantics of destroy();
additionally the locking comments for destroy() and some other methods were
clarified and decrustified.

This is a very similar path to the one available at

c620727779 md: allow a maximum extent to be set for resyncing
This allows userspace to control resync/reshape progress and synchronise it
with other activities, such as shared access in a SAN, or backing up critical
sections during a tricky reshape.

9cfe015aa4 get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

d82b35186e pm qos infrastructure and interface
The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
by Arjan last year.  It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
expectations of processes.

This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
one of the parameters.

Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
the initial set of pm_qos parameters.

The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter.  The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h.  This is done because having the available parameters
being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
abuse.

For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
an aggregated target value.  The aggregated target value is updated with
changes to the requirement list or elements of the list.  Typically the
aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
held in the parameter list elements.

>From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:

pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):

  Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
  parameter with the target value.  Upon change to this list the new target is
  recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
  is now different.

pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):

  Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
  and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
  aggregated target is changed.  with that name is already registered.

pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):

  Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
  removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
  if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.

>From user mode:

  Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement.  To provide for
  automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
  its parameter requirements in the following way:

  To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
  process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
  network_throughput]

  As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
  requirement on the parameter.  The name of the requirement is
  "process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
  call.

  To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
  value to the open device node.  This translates to a
  pm_qos_update_requirement call.

  To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
  node.

e114e47377 Smack: Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel
Smack is the Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel.

Smack implements mandatory access control (MAC) using labels
attached to tasks and data containers, including files, SVIPC,
and other tasks. Smack is a kernel based scheme that requires
an absolute minimum of application support and a very small
amount of configuration data.

Smack uses extended attributes and
provides a set of general mount options, borrowing technics used
elsewhere. Smack uses netlabel for CIPSO labeling. Smack provides
a pseudo-filesystem smackfs that is used for manipulation of
system Smack attributes.

The patch, patches for ls and sshd, a README, a startup script,
and x86 binaries for ls and sshd are also available on

    http://www.schaufler-ca.com

Development has been done using Fedora Core 7 in a virtual machine
environment and on an old Sony laptop.

Smack provides mandatory access controls based on the label attached
to a task and the label attached to the object it is attempting to
access. Smack labels are deliberately short (1-23 characters) text
strings. Single character labels using special characters are reserved
for system use. The only operation applied to Smack labels is equality
comparison. No wildcards or expressions, regular or otherwise, are
used. Smack labels are composed of printable characters and may not
include "/".

A file always gets the Smack label of the task that created it.

Smack defines and uses these labels:

    "*" - pronounced "star"
    "_" - pronounced "floor"
    "^" - pronounced "hat"
    "?" - pronounced "huh"

The access rules enforced by Smack are, in order:

1. Any access requested by a task labeled "*" is denied.
2. A read or execute access requested by a task labeled "^"
   is permitted.
3. A read or execute access requested on an object labeled "_"
   is permitted.
4. Any access requested on an object labeled "*" is permitted.
5. Any access requested by a task on an object with the same
   label is permitted.
6. Any access requested that is explicitly defined in the loaded
   rule set is permitted.
7. Any other access is denied.

Rules may be explicitly defined by writing subject,object,access
triples to /smack/load.

Smack rule sets can be easily defined that describe Bell&LaPadula
sensitivity, Biba integrity, and a variety of interesting
configurations. Smack rule sets can be modified on the fly to
accommodate changes in the operating environment or even the time
of day.

Some practical use cases:

Hierarchical levels. The less common of the two usual uses
for MLS systems is to define hierarchical levels, often
unclassified, confidential, secret, and so on. To set up smack
to support this, these rules could be defined:

   C        Unclass rx
   S        C       rx
   S        Unclass rx
   TS       S       rx
   TS       C       rx
   TS       Unclass rx

A TS process can read S, C, and Unclass data, but cannot write it.
An S process can read C and Unclass. Note that specifying that
TS can read S and S can read C does not imply TS can read C, it
has to be explicitly stated.

Non-hierarchical categories. This is the more common of the
usual uses for an MLS system. Since the default rule is that a
subject cannot access an object with a different label no
access rules are required to implement compartmentalization.

A case that the Bell & LaPadula policy does not allow is demonstrated
with this Smack access rule:

A case that Bell&LaPadula does not allow that Smack does:

    ESPN    ABC   r
    ABC     ESPN  r

On my portable video device I have two applications, one that
shows ABC programming and the other ESPN programming. ESPN wants
to show me sport stories that show up as news, and ABC will
only provide minimal information about a sports story if ESPN
is covering it. Each side can look at the other's info, neither
can change the other. Neither can see what FOX is up to, which
is just as well all things considered.

Another case that I especially like:

    SatData Guard   w
    Guard   Publish w

A program running with the Guard label opens a UDP socket and
accepts messages sent by a program running with a SatData label.
The Guard program inspects the message to ensure it is wholesome
and if it is sends it to a program running with the Publish label.
This program then puts the information passed in an appropriate
place. Note that the Guard program cannot write to a Publish
file system object because file system semanitic require read as
well as write.

The four cases (categories, levels, mutual read, guardbox) here
are all quite real, and problems I've been asked to solve over
the years. The first two are easy to do with traditonal MLS systems
while the last two you can't without invoking privilege, at least
for a while.

Add vm.highmem_is_dirtyable toggle

A 32 bit machine with HIGHMEM64 enabled running DCC has an MMAPed file of
approximately 2Gb size which contains a hash format that is written
randomly by the dbclean process.  On 2.6.16 this process took a few
minutes.  With lowmem only accounting of dirty ratios, this takes about 12
hours of 100% disk IO, all random writes.

Include a toggle in /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable which can be set to 1 to
add the highmem back to the total available memory count.

6e5aa7efb2 virtio: reset function
A reset function solves three problems:

1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
   guest driver without rebooting the guest.

2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
   we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and

3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.

So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.

We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill.  We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.

The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

a713b4d7bc ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: wakeup on hotunplug reporting
Handle some HKEY events that the firmware uses to report the reason for a
wake up, and to also notify that the system could go back to sleep (if it
woke up just to eject something from the bay, or to undock).

The driver will report the reason of the last wake up in the sysfs
attribute "wakeup_reason": 0 for "none, unknown, or standard ACPI wake up
event", 1 for "bay ejection request" and 2 for "undock request".

The firmware will also report if the operation that triggered the wake up
has been completed, by issuing an HKEY 0x3003 or 0x4003 event.  If the
operation fails, no event is sent.  When such a hotunplug sucessfull
notification is issued, the driver sets the attribute
"wakeup_hotunplug_complete" to 1.

While the firmware does tell us whether we are waking from a suspend or
hibernation scenario, the Linux way of hibernating makes this information
not reliable, and therefore it is not reported.

The idea is that if any of these attributes are non-zero, userspace might
want to do something at the end of the "wake up from sleep" procedures,
such as offering to send the machine back into sleep as soon as it is safe
to do so.

01e88f2598 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add CMOS NVRAM polling for hot keys (v9)
Older ThinkPad models do not export some of the hot keys over the
event-based ACPI hot key interface.  For these models, one has to poll
the CMOS NVRAM to check the key state at a rate faster than the expected
rate at which the user might repeatedly press the same hot key.

This patch implements this functionality for many of the hotkeys in a
transparent way: hot keys will now Just Work, and the driver knows the
best approach (events or NVRAM polling) to employ, based on the
HKEY.MHKA ACPI method.

Also, the driver can turn off the polling when there are no users for
the hot keys that need such polling.

The NVRAM-based hot keys of the A3x series that have never been
implemented by later models are not supported, to avoid changes in the
keymap of the input devices that could cause headaches in the future.

There is a Kconfig option to avoid compiling the NVRAM polling code, as
it is not very small, and unlikely to be useful on any ThinkPad newer
than a T40, X31 or R52.

This feature is based on a previous effort by Richard Hughes.

8efe444038 power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL
The CAPACITY_LEVEL stuff defines various levels of charge; however, what
is the difference between them?  What differentiates between HIGH and NORMAL,
LOW and CRITICAL, etc?

As it appears that these are fairly arbitrary, we end up making such policy
decisions in the kernel (or in hardware).  This is the sort of decision that
should be made in userspace, not in the kernel.

If the hardware does not support _CAPACITY and it cannot be easily calculated,
then perhaps the driver should register a custom CAPACITY_LEVEL attribute;
however, userspace should not become accustomed to looking for such a thing,
and we should certainly not encourage drivers to provide CAPACITY_LEVEL
stubs.

The following removes support for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL.  The
OLPC battery driver is the only driver making use of this, so it's
removed from there as well.

60417f5976 ACPI suspend: Call _PTS before suspending devices
The ACPI 1.0 specification wants us to put devices into low power
states after executing the _PTS global control method, while ACPI
2.0 and later want us to do that in the reverse order.  The current
suspend code follows ACPI 2.0 in that respect which causes some
ACPI 1.0x systems to hang during suspend (ref.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528).

Make the suspend code execute _PTS before putting devices into low
power states (ie. in accordance with ACPI 1.0x) and provide a command
line option to override the default if need be.

29e75252da [IPV4] route cache: Introduce rt_genid for smooth cache invalidation
Current ip route cache implementation is not suited to large caches.

We can consume a lot of CPU when cache must be invalidated, since we
currently need to evict all cache entries, and this eviction is
sometimes asynchronous. min_delay & max_delay can somewhat control this
asynchronism behavior, but whole thing is a kludge, regularly triggering
infamous soft lockup messages. When entries are still in use, this also
consumes a lot of ram, filling dst_garbage.list.

A better scheme is to use a generation identifier on each entry,
so that cache invalidation can be performed by changing the table
identifier, without having to scan all entries.
No more delayed flushing, no more stalling when secret_interval expires.

Invalidated entries will then be freed at GC time (controled by
ip_rt_gc_timeout or stress), or when an invalidated entry is found
in a chain when an insert is done.
Thus we keep a normal equilibrium.

This patch :
- renames rt_hash_rnd to rt_genid (and makes it an atomic_t)
- Adds a new rt_genid field to 'struct rtable' (filling a hole on 64bit)
- Checks entry->rt_genid at appropriate places :

109c53f840 [ALSA] sound/isa: kill pnp_resource_change
This removes the pnp_resource_change use from the ALSA ISAPnP drivers. In
2.4 these were useful in providing an easy path to setting the resources,
but in 2.6 they retain function as a layering violation only.
This makes for a nice cleanup (-550 lines) of ALSA but moreover, ALSA is the
only remaining user of pnp_init_resource_table(), pnp_resource_change() and
pnp_manual_config_dev() (and, in fact, of 'struct pnp_resource_table') in
the tree outide of drivers/pnp itself meaning it makes for more cleanup
potential inside the PnP layer.
Thomas Renninger acked their removal from that side, you did from the ALSA
side (CC list just copied from that thread).
Against current alsa-kernel HG. Many more potential cleanups in there, but
this _only_ removes the pnp_resource_change code. Compile tested against
current alsa-kernel HG and compile- and use-tested against 2.6.23.x (few
offsets).

f212ec4b7b x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.

If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.

With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.

In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.

An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
and I've put a copy online at
ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt

It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it

093af8d7f0 x86_32: trim memory by updating e820
when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the
RAM and need to update e820.

reuse some code on 64-bit as well.

here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move
mtrr_bp_init early.

The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system:

from:

 [    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable)

to:

 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable)
 [    0.000000]   modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved)

According to Justin it makes quite a difference:

|  When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386,
|  takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

99fc8d424b x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrs
On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached.  Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e.  right around init time).

This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match.  A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.

Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.

This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

a25bd94964 x86: add the "print code before the trapping instruction" feature to 64 bit
The 32 bit x86 tree has a very useful feature that prints the Code: line
for the code even before the trapping instrution (and the start of the
trapping instruction is then denoted with a <>). Unfortunately, the 64 bit
x86 tree does not yet have this feature, making diagnosing backtraces harder
than needed.

This patch adds this feature in the same was as the 32 bit tree has
(including the same kernel boot parameter), and including a bugfix
to make the code use probe_kernel_address() rarther than a buggy (deadlocking)
__get_user.

af65d64845 x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32
This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.

The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel.  That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address.  The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel.  (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)

The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time.  The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

b02aae9cf5 x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.
x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.

Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay
writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate
diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these.

David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a
proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine,
with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger.

Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the
2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with
help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has
two problems.

First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while
some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically
problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly
well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and
based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which
would sort of work, but...

Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has.
It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly
or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence
that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus
locking outb.

Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such,
this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more
invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover
only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems
to fit that situation.

This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override
the DMI based choice again:

	io_delay=<standard|alternate>

where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate"
port 0xed.

This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and
command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well.

This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using
the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem
as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the
udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also
fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI
based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot
code be.

The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already
and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the
problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z.

This patch is partly based on earlier patches from Pavel Machek and
David P. Reed.

a9d2517c7a [MIPS] remove Documentation/mips/GT64120.README
Based upon the 2.4 kernel, the information presented in the
Documentation/mips/GT64120.README file is outdated. Worse,
the document contents are plain misleading nowadays because
the text mentions files and directories, which have been
deleted, moved or restructured for 2.6.

This patch removes the documentation, which is no more valid.

818d276ceb ext4: Add the journal checksum feature
The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.

JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
incompat.
The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
type of the checksum.

For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

eb189d8bc9 b43: Add support for new firmware
This patch adds support for new firmware.
Old firmware is still supported until July 2008.

To get new firmware, go to
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/
and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet.
That will be fixed later.
You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained
in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option
--unsupported to fwcutter.
Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will
be released soon.

c21b39aca4 mac80211: make PID rate control algorithm the default
This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.

The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.

While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it
for removal.

This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server
holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.

Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added.

The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases
of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

e333b3edc4 [DCCP]: Promote CCID2 as default CCID
This patch addresses the following problems:

 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
    enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
    disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
    non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
    Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
    CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.

 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
    (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
    menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
    trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).

 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
    `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:

    * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"

    * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
       general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
       The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"

    Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.

Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.

Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.

8e8c71f1ab [DCCP]: Honour and make use of shutdown option set by user
This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user.
The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown.

This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce
processing costs:
 * if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID;
 * if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference -
   as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep
   congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last
   packet (under congestion control) has been sent;
 * although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner
   as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c).

Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for
instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added
to this by the present patch.

There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when
one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at
that stage the connection is its final stages.

Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown

A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7).

Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make
      sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean
      `TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).

6342064cad i2c-i801: Implement I2C block read support
I2C block read is supported since the ICH5. I couldn't get it to work
using the block buffer, so it's using the old-style byte-by-byte mode
for now.

Note: I'm also updating the driver author... The i2c-i801 driver was
really written by Mark Studebaker, even though he based his work on
the i2c-piix4 driver which was written by Philip Edelbrock.

9e47be0c97 ide: remove broken disk byte-swapping support
Remove broken disk byte-swapping support:
- it can cause a data corruption on SMP (or if using PREEMPT on UP)
- all data coming from disk are byte-swapped by taskfile_*_data() which
  results in incorrect identify data being reported by /proc/ide/ and IOCTLs
- "hdx=bswap/byteswap" kernel parameter has been broken on m68k host drivers
  (including Atari/Q40 ones) since 2.5.x days (because of 'hwif' zero-ing)
- byte-swapping is limited to PIO transfers (for working with TiVo disks on
  x86 machines using user-space solutions or dm-byteswap should result in
  much better performance because DMA can be used)

For previous discussions please see:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/2/28/111

ade2daf9c6 ide: make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular (take 2)
* Make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular, add ide-scan-pci.c
  file for probing PCI host drivers registered with IDE core (special case
  for built-in IDE and CONFIG_IDEPCI_PCIBUS_ORDER=y) and then take care of
  the ordering in which all IDE host drivers are probed when IDE is built-in
  during link time.

* Move probing of gayle, falconide, macide, q40ide and buddha (m68k arch
  specific) host drivers, before PCI ones (no PCI on m68k), ide-cris (cris
  arch specific), cmd640 (x86 arch specific) and pmac (ppc arch specific).

* Move probing of ide-cris (cris arch specific) host driver before cmd640
  (x86 arch specific).

* Move probing of mpc8xx (ppc specific) host driver before ide-pnp (depends
  on ISA and none of ppc platform that use mpc8xx supports ISA) and ide-h8300
  (h8300 arch specific).

* Add "probe_vlb" kernel parameter to cmd640 host driver and update
  Documentation/ide.txt accordingly.

* Make IDE_ARM config option visible so it can also be disabled if needed.

* Remove bogus comment from ide.c while at it.

v2:
* Fix two issues spotted by Sergei:
  - replace ENOMEM error value by ENOENT in ide-h8300 host driver
  - fix MODULE_PARM_DESC() in cmd640 host driver

2fbe8d1ebe ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount option
Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.

86ef5c9a8e cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

cb1042f285 [SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.
The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.

We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

when the base page size is 4k.  It defaults to 16M (previously the
only only choice) if nothing or an invalid choice is specified.

Tested 64K huge pages successfully with the libhugetlbfs 1.2.

ab99eee8ac [POWERPC] Xilinx: Update booting-without-of.
This now better describes what the UBoot device tree generator
actually does.  In particular:

1) Nodes have a label derived from the device name, and a node name
derived from a generic version of the device type, e.g. 'ethernet',
'serial', etc.

2) Usage of compound nodes (representing more than one device in the
same IP) which actually works.  This requires having a valid
compatible node, and all the other things that a bus normally has.
I've chosen 'xlnx,compound' as the bus name to describe these compound
nodes.

In addition, I've clarified some of the language relating to how mhs
nodes should be represent in the device tree.

Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.

This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.

This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.

6f6652be18 bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modes
Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Originally
 submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
 Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
 documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.

	Glenn's original comment follows:

Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information.  This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy.  This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

2868f89fc4 The namespaces compatibility list doc
People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together.

Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user
may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared.
I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with
the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly -
the "namespaces compatibility list".

The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about
the namespaces stuff.

Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for
additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who
alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :)

42b36cc0ce virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes
The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).

So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

20474abda6 [POWERPC] Fix cache line vs. block size confusion
We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line
and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of
the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations,
the later is the actual size on which the cache control
instructions operate, which can be different.

For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property
on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is
unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size
infos at this stage).

This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention
the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code
to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line
size if the property is missing.

e11e211a0b ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: prefer standard ACPI backlight level control
Newer Lenovo BIOSes support the standard ACPI backlight brightness
interface (_BCM, _BQC, _BCL).  It should be used instead of the native
thinkpad backlight brightness control interface when possible.

This patch disables the native brightness support in the driver by default
when we detect that the standard ACPI interface is available.  The local
admin can still enable it using the module parameter "brightness_enable".

Note that we need to detect the standard ACPI backlight interface only in
boxes for which we would load the native backlight interface in the first
place, and that no ThinkPad BIOS has _BCL but misses the other methods, so
the detection routines can be really simple.

a3f104c02a ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: support 16 levels of brightness (v3)
Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight
levels like older ThinkPads.  They also have standard ACPI backlight
brightness control.

We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package
with 16 entries.  If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*).  If
it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60).
Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc).

We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads.  Thanks to
Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential
problem.

Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the
native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though.  A different
patch will take care of this.

ca77329fb7 [libata] Link power management infrastructure
Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined
in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it.
This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link
power management policy to "min_power".

Additionally, libata drivers can define a function
(enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to
enable whatever power management policy the user set up
for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
This power management policy will be activated after all
disks have been enumerated and intialized.  Drivers should
also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
management, but not change link power management policy.

Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional

d79a5f80dc x86: Force enable HPET for CK804 (nForce 4) chipsets
This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on
the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset.

This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4
(LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3,
but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

814a0e5cdf Revert lguest magic and use hook in head.S
Version 2.07 of the boot protocol uses 0x23C for the hardware_subarch
field, that for lguest is "1".  This allows us to use the standard
boot entry point rather than the "GenuineLguest" string hack.

The standard entry point also clears the BSS and copies the boot parameters
and commandline for us, saving more code.

56ae43dfe2 Example launcher handle guests not being ready for input
We currently discard console and network input when the guest has no
input buffers.  This patch changes that, so that we simply stop
listening to that fd until the guest refills its input buffers.

This is particularly important because hvc_console without interrupts
does backoff polling and so often lose characters if we discard.

47436aa4ad Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.

2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.

3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
   PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.

4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.

5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
   always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
   before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).

6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
   hypercall give us that, too.

3c6b5bfa3c Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcher
In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.

The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.

470fd64644 hotplug cpu: migrate a task within its cpuset
When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks that have
been running on that cpu.

Currently, such a task is migrated:
 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
    and among that task's cpus_allowed
 2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed

It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to
have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that
they share.  Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a
specific cpu in that cpuset.  And in that case the task's cpus_allowed
includes only a single cpu.

This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within
its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset).

With this patch, migrate the task to:
 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
    and among that task's cpus_allowed
 2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset
 3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed

In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will
not block.  (name change - per Oleg's suggestion)

Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set
the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and
migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.

029190c515 cpuset sched_load_balance flag
Add a new per-cpuset flag called 'sched_load_balance'.

When enabled in a cpuset (the default value) it tells the kernel scheduler
that the scheduler should provide the normal load balancing on the CPUs in
that cpuset, sometimes moving tasks from one CPU to a second CPU if the
second CPU is less loaded and if that task is allowed to run there.

When disabled (write "0" to the file) then it tells the kernel scheduler
that load balancing is not required for the CPUs in that cpuset.

Now even if this flag is disabled for some cpuset, the kernel may still
have to load balance some or all the CPUs in that cpuset, if some
overlapping cpuset has its sched_load_balance flag enabled.

If there are some CPUs that are not in any cpuset whose sched_load_balance
flag is enabled, the kernel scheduler will not load balance tasks to those
CPUs.

Moreover the kernel will partition the 'sched domains' (non-overlapping
sets of CPUs over which load balancing is attempted) into the finest
granularity partition that it can find, while still keeping any two CPUs
that are in the same shed_load_balance enabled cpuset in the same element
of the partition.

This serves two purposes:
 1) It provides a mechanism for real time isolation of some CPUs, and
 2) it can be used to improve performance on systems with many CPUs
    by supporting configurations in which load balancing is not done
    across all CPUs at once, but rather only done in several smaller
    disjoint sets of CPUs.

This mechanism replaces the earlier overloading of the per-cpuset
flag 'cpu_exclusive', which overloading was removed in an earlier
patch: cpuset-remove-sched-domain-hooks-from-cpusets

See further the Documentation and comments in the code itself.

846c7bb055 Add cgroupstats
This patch is inspired by the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics
as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263.  The
patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward
ported)

This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses
code from the taskstats interface.  A new set of cgroup operations are
registered with commands and attributes.  It should be very easy to
*extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats
structure.

The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post
statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add.  Currently
user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file
descriptor.  Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup
is returned to user space.

TODO's/NOTE:

This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics.
Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics,
event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats
into cgroup statistics in the future.

Sample output

# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a
sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0

# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/
sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0

If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for
the same

Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!

817929ec27 Task Control Groups: shared cgroup subsystem group arrays
Replace the struct css_set embedded in task_struct with a pointer; all tasks
that have the same set of memberships across all hierarchies will share a
css_set object, and will be linked via their css_sets field to the "tasks"
list_head in the css_set.

Assuming that many tasks share the same cgroup assignments, this reduces
overall space usage and keeps the size of the task_struct down (three pointers
added to task_struct compared to a non-cgroups kernel, no matter how many
subsystems are registered).

697f416108 Task Control Groups: add cgroup_clone() interface
Add support for cgroup_clone(), a way to create new cgroups intended to
be used for systems such as namespace unsharing.  A new subsystem callback,
post_clone(), is added to allow subsystems to automatically configure cloned

ddbcc7e8e5 Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework
Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------

There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others.  These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.

This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.

The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:

- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised

- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
 conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.

- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
 management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
 to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
 chances of getting into the kernel

This patch:

Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
objects to tasks.

612b5a8d3a IPMI: new NMI handling
Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an
NMI.  This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs
and if it has an NMI post processing call.  Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog
to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.

It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

7058cb02dd sysctl: deprecate sys_sysctl in a user space visible fashion.
After adding checking to register_sysctl_table and finding a whole new set
of bugs.  Missed by countless code reviews and testers I have finally lost
patience with the binary sysctl interface.

The binary sysctl interface has been sort of deprecated for years and
finding a user space program that uses the syscall is more difficult then
finding a needle in a haystack.  Problems continue to crop up, with the in
kernel implementation.  So since supporting something that no one uses is
silly, deprecate sys_sysctl with a sufficient grace period and notice that
the handful of user space applications that care can be fixed or replaced.

The /proc/sys sysctl interface that people use will continue to be
supported indefinitely.

This patch moves the tested warning about sysctls from the path where
sys_sysctl to a separate path called from both implementations of
sys_sysctl, and it adds a proper entry into
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.

Allowing us to revisit this in a couple years time and actually kill
sys_sysctl.

25398a158d sysctl: parport remove binary paths
The sysctl binary paths don't look as if they even code work, .data is not
filled in, and all of the proc_handlers look at extra1 and there is not
strategy routine.

So just kill the binary paths.

In addition this patch removes the setting of extra1 on directories.  It
doesn't look like the parport code ever examines it, and it's bad sysctl form.

8f4ce8c32f serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time option
Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep.  This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC).  There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.

This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend).  By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.

For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.

d5d8c5976d freezer: do not send signals to kernel threads
The freezer should not send signals to kernel threads, since that may lead to
subtle problems.  In particular, commit
b74d0deb96 has changed recalc_sigpending_tsk()
so that it doesn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING.  For this reason, if the freezer
continues to send fake signals to kernel threads and the freezing of kernel
threads fails, some of them may be running with TIF_SIGPENDING set forever.

Accordingly, recalc_sigpending_tsk() shouldn't set the task's TIF_SIGPENDING
flag if TIF_FREEZE is set.
