9301975ec2 Merge branch 'genirq-v28-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.

The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]).  The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

acd99dbf54 kdump: add vmlist.addr to vmcoreinfo for x86 vmalloc translation.
Add the symbols 'vmlist' and offset 'vm_struct.addr' to the vmcoreinfo[1]
data for i386 vmalloc translation.

makedumpfile[2] needs VMALLOC_START value for distinguishing a vmalloc
address or not, because it should choose suitable translation method.  If
applying this patch, makedumpfile will be able to take VMALLOC_START value
from 'vmlist.addr'.

vmcoreinfo[1]:
The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile[2] uses it to distinguish unnecessary pages and
creates a small dumpfile.

30e8e13603 cpuset: use seq_*mask_* to print masks
1) seq_file excepts that m->count == m->size when it's buf is full,
   so current code will causes bugs when buf is overflow.

2) There is not too good that cpuset accesses struct seq_file's

cc31edceee cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array
Rather than pre-generating the entire text for the "tasks" file each
time the file is opened, we instead just generate/update the array of
process ids and use a seq_file to report these to userspace.  All open
file handles on the same "tasks" file can share a pid array, which may
be updated any time that no thread is actively reading the array.  By
sharing the array, the potential for userspace to DoS the system by
opening many handles on the same "tasks" file is removed.

[Based on a patch by Lai Jiangshan, extended to use seq_file]

957a4eeaf4 container freezer: prevent frozen tasks or cgroups from changing
Don't let frozen tasks or cgroups change.  This means frozen tasks can't
leave their current cgroup for another cgroup.  It also means that tasks
cannot be added to or removed from a cgroup in the FROZEN state.  We
enforce these rules by checking for frozen tasks and cgroups in the
can_attach() function.

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.
