Fix swsusp on machines not supporting S4. With recent changes, it is not
possible to trigger it using /sys filesystem. Swsusp does not really need
any support from low-level code, it is possible to reboot or halt at the
end of suspend.

set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of
a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page. This case
can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another
process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang).
This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from
access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page. We already use a
similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to
hugepages.

Move the cpuset_fork() call below the write_unlock_irq call in
kernel/fork.c copy_process().
Since the cpuset-dual-semaphore-locking-overhaul.patch, the cpuset_fork()
routine acquires task_lock(), so cannot be called while holding the
tasklist_lock for write.

Tracked this down on an Ultra Enterprise 3000. It's a 6-way machine. Odd
thing about this machine (and it's good for finding bugs like this) is that
the CPU id's are not 0 based. For instance, on my machine the CPU's are
6/7/10/11/14/15.
This caused some NULL pointer dereference in kernel/workqueue.c because for
single_threaded workqueue's, it hardcoded the cpu to 0.
I changed the 0's to any_online_cpu(cpu_online_mask), which cpumask.h
claims is "First cpu in mask". So this fits the same usage.

There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during
cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to
registered clients.
Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.
Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
all places.
- Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
- removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
- Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
- Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()
temporary workaround.
Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline
to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

If unregister_console() is inadvertently called while no consoles are
registered, it will crash trying to dereference NULL pointer. It is
necessary to fix that because register_console() provides no indication
that it actually registered the console passed in. In fact, it may well
decide not to register it based on various things...
(akpm: It'd be better to make register_console() return something and fix the
callers. All 106 of them...)

The follow_page changes in get_futex_key have left it with two almost
identical blocks, when handling the rare case of a futex in a nonlinear vma.
get_user_pages will itself do that follow_page, and its additional
find_extend_vma is hardly any overhead since the vma is already cached. Let's
just delete the follow_page block and let get_user_pages do it.

One issue with the RCU torture test is that the current error flagging can
be lost in dmesg. This patch adds a "SUCCESS"/"FAILURE" string to the line
that flags the end of the test, where it can easily be seen with "dmesg |
tail" at the end of the test. Also adds tests of architecture-specific
memory barriers -- or, more likely, of the RCU torture test itself.

Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the
stack.
The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.
If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.
Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

This fixes deadlock of stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send. The
problem is that stop_machine() disables interrupts before disabling
preemption on other CPUs. So if another CPU is preempted and then calls
something like flush_tlb_all() it will deadlock with CPU doing
stop_machine() and which can't process IPI due to disabled IRQs.
I changed stop_machine() to do the same things exactly as it does on other
CPUs, i.e. it should disable preemption first on _all_ CPUs including
itself and only after that disable IRQs.

Two new helpers - setup_thread_stack() and end_of_stack(). For normal case
the former consists of copying thread_info of parent to new thread_info and
the latter returns pointer immediately past the end of thread_info.

new helper - task_thread_info(task). On platforms that have thread_info
allocated separately (i.e. in default case) it simply returns
task->thread_info. m68k wants (and for good reasons) to embed its thread_info
into task_struct. So it will (in later patch) have task_thread_info() of its
own. For now we just add a macro for generic case and convert existing
instances of its body in core kernel to uses of new macro. Obviously safe -
all normal architectures get the same preprocessor output they used to get.
