4b2873ba0b m68k: irq_node.handler() should return irqreturn_t
commit b5dc7840b3 ("m68k: introduce irq
controller") reverted the return type of struct irq_node.handler() from
irqreturn_t to int. Change it back to irqreturn_t, else it will give a
compiler warning when irqreturn_t is turned into an enum in the near future:

This is caused by

net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h.

cb9eff0978 net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets
User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.

When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.

The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

49148020bc m68k,m68knommu: merge header files
Merge header files for m68k and m68knommu to the single location:

    arch/m68k/include/asm

The majority of this patch was the result of the
script that is included in the changelog below.

The script was originally written by Arnd Bergman and
exten by me to cover a few more files.

When the header files differed the script uses the following:

The original m68k file is named <file>_mm.h  [mm for memory manager]
The m68knommu file is named <file>_no.h [no for no memory manager]

The files uses the following include guard:

This include gaurd works as the m68knommu toolchain set
the __uClinux__ symbol - so this should work in userspace too.

Merging the header files for m68k and m68knommu exposes the
(unexpected?) ABI differences thus it is easier to actually
identify these and thus to fix them.

The commit has been build tested with both a m68k and
a m68knommu toolchain - with success.

The commit has also been tested with "make headers_check"
and this patch fixes make headers_check for m68knommu.

746e8d3b22 m68k: mac baboon interrupt enable/disable
No-one seems to know how to mask individual baboon interrupts, so we just 
mask the umbrella IRQ. This will work as long as only the IDE driver uses 
the baboon chip (it can't deadlock). Use mac_enable_irq/mac_disable_irq 
rather than enable_irq/disable_irq because the latter routines count the 
depth of nested calls which triggers a warning and call trace because 
IRQ_NUBUS_C is enabled twice in a row (once when the baboon handler is 
registered, and once when the IDE IRQ is registered).

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.
