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.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.

HAVE_AOUT doesn't quite do the same thing as the recently removed
ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT config option. That was set even on platforms where
binfmt_aout isn't supported, although it's not entirely clear why.
So it's best just to introduce a new symbol, handled consistently with
other similar HAVE_xxx symbols; with a simple 'select' in the arch Kconfig.

sound/sound_core.c implements soundcore.ko and contains two parts -
sound_class which is shared by both ALSA and OSS and device
redirection support for OSS. It's always compiled when any sound
support is enabled although it's necessary only when OSS (the actual
one or emulation) is enabled. This is slightly wasteful and as device
redirection always registers character device region for major 14, it
prevents alternative implementation.
This patch introduces a new config SOUND_OSS_CORE which is selected
iff OSS support is actually necessary and build the OSS core part
conditionally.
If OSS is disabled, soundcore merely contains sound_class but leaving
it that way seems to be the simplest approach as otherwise sound_class
should be in ALSA core file if OSS is disabled but should be in
soundcore if OSS is enabled. Also, there's also the user confusion
factor.

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:
scheduler switch to idle task
enable interrupts
Window starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick
----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.
The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
cpu_idle()
{
preempt_disable();
while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
are in the idle loop
while (!need_resched())
halt();
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
preempt_disable();
}
}
In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...
/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

There are various constraints on the use of unit-at-a-time:
- i386 uses no-unit-at-a-time for pre-4.0 (not 4.3)
- x86_64 uses unit-at-a-time always
Uli reported a crash on x86_64 with gcc 4.1.2 with unit-at-a-time,
resulting in commit c0a18111e5
Ingo reported a gcc internal error with gcc 4.3 with no-unit-at-a-timem,
resulting in 22eecde2f9
Benny Halevy is seeing extern inlines not resolved with gcc 4.3 with
no-unit-at-a-time
This patch reintroduces unit-at-a-time for gcc >= 4.0, bringing back the
possibility of Uli's crash. If that happens, we'll debug it.
I started seeing both the internal compiler errors and unresolved
inlines on Fedora 9. This patch fixes both problems, without so far
reintroducing the crash reported by Uli.

This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,
as well as the top. This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap
addresses. It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
valid page is found.
Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
address space. The size is the difference between the top address and
bottom address.
[jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is
supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and
changed the return value to reflect that. Also some minor formatting
