2ec220e27f proc: add /proc/*/stack
/proc/*/stack adds the ability to query a task's stack trace. It is more
useful than /proc/*/wchan as it provides full stack trace instead of single
depth. Example output:

	$ cat /proc/self/stack
	[<c010a271>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x17/0x35

0de26520c7 cpumask: make irq_set_affinity() take a const struct cpumask
Impact: change existing irq_chip API

Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.

Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.

Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly.  Ingo, does this break anything?

Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs

Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.

These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

98a79d6a50 cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map
Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

Certain X11 servers such as the SIS server will only work if PCI mmap is

so close to a release it only supports uncached mappings so performance
will not be optimal for some uses such as framebuffers.

1c39194878 sched: convert struct root_domain to cpumask_var_t, fix

 kernel/sched.c:7319: error: non-static initialization of a flexible array member
 kernel/sched.c:7319: error: (near initialization for '(anonymous)')

this happens because .span changed to cpumask_var_t, hence
the static CPU_MASK_NONE initializers in the SD_*_INIT
templates are not type-correct anymore.

Remove them, as they default to empty anyway.

Also remove them from IA64, MIPS and SH.

8ec2e24356 MIPS: Make BUG() __noreturn.
Often we do things like put BUG() in the default clause of a case
statement.  Since it was not declared __noreturn, this could sometimes
lead to bogus compiler warnings that variables were used
uninitialized.

There is a small problem in that we have to put a magic while(1); loop to
fool GCC into really thinking it is noreturn.  This makes the new
BUG() function 3 instructions long instead of just 1, but I think it
is worth it as it is now unnecessary to do extra work to silence the
'used uninitialized' warnings.

I also re-wrote BUG_ON so that if it is given a constant condition, it
just does BUG() instead of loading a constant value in to a register
and testing it.

d76b0d9b2d CRED: Use creds in file structs
Attach creds to file structs and discard f_uid/f_gid.

file_operations::open() methods (such as hppfs_open()) should use file->f_cred
rather than current_cred().  At the moment file->f_cred will be current_cred()
at this point.

Separate the task security context from task_struct.  At this point, the
security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers
pointing to it.

Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in
entry.S via asm-offsets.

b4212737a3 CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the MIPS arch
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

ae1e9130bf sched: rename SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER => SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER
Impact: cleanup, change .config option name

We had this ugly config name for a long time for hysteric raisons.
Rename it to a saner name.

We still cannot get rid of it completely, until /proc/<pid>/stack
usage replaces WCHAN usage for good.

We'll be able to do that in the v2.6.29/v2.6.30 timeframe.

cea7e2dfde MIPS: Sort out CPU type to name translation.
As noticed by David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>, the old long switch
statement did not comply with the Linux C coding style.  It was also yet
another place of code to be changed when adding a new processor type
leading to annoying bugs for example in /proc/cpuinfo.

Fixed by moving the setting of the CPU type string into the core of the
probing code and a few BUG_ON() test to ensure the CPU probing code indeed
did its job and removing multiple now redundant tests.

0x80001fe0, 0x2000, and 0x20).

02112dbc92 mips: use bcd2bin/bin2bcd
Changes mips to use the new bcd2bin/bin2bcd functions instead of the
obsolete BCD_TO_BIN/BIN_TO_BCD/BCD2BIN/BIN2BCD macros.

dc52ddc0e6 container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.

* Examples of usage :

   # mkdir /containers/freezer
   # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer  /containers
   # mkdir /containers/0
   # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

to get status of the freezer subsystem :

   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

to freeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FREEZING
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FROZEN

to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.

It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
		the freezer.state file
	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
		and returns EIO)
	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.
