c7af77b584 sched: mark rwsem functions as __sched for wchan/profiling
This following commit

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdf8cb0909b531f9ae8f9b9d7e4eb35ba3505f07

un-inlined a low-level rwsem function, but did not mark it as __sched.
The result is that it now shows up as thread wchan (which also affects
/proc/profile stats).  The following simple patch fixes this by properly
marking rwsem_down_failed_common() as a __sched function.

Also in this patch, which is up for discussion, marks down_read() and
down_write() proper as __sched.  For profiling, it is pretty much
useless to know that a semaphore is beig help - it is necessary to know
_which_ one.  By going up another frame on the stack, the information
becomes much more useful.

In summary, the below change to lib/rwsem.c should be applied; the
changes to kernel/rwsem.c could be applied if other kernel hackers agree
with my proposal that down_read()/down_write() in the profile is not
enough.

5a6dca7c15 lib: move bitmap.o from lib-y to obj-y.
mac80211 has a reference to __bitmap_empty() via bitmap_empty().  In
lib/bitmap.c this is flagged with an EXPORT_SYMBOL(), but this is
ultimately ineffective due to bitmap.o being linked in lib-y, resulting in:

ERROR: "__bitmap_empty" [net/mac80211/mac80211.ko] undefined!

Moving bitmap.o to obj-y fixes this up.

ef19454bd4 [LIB] crc32c: Keep intermediate crc state in cpu order
crypto/crc32.c:chksum_final() is computing the digest as
*(__le32 *)out = ~cpu_to_le32(mctx->crc);
so the low-level crc32c_le routines should just keep
the crc in cpu order, otherwise it is getting swabbed
one too many times on big-endian machines.

de48844398 Permit silencing of __deprecated warnings.
The __deprecated marker is quite useful in highlighting the remnants of
old APIs that want removing.

However, it is quite normal for one or more years to pass, before the
(usually ancient, bitrotten) code in question is either updated or
deleted.

Thus, like __must_check, add a Kconfig option that permits the silencing
of this compiler warning.

This change mimics the ifdef-ery and Kconfig defaults of MUST_CHECK as
closely as possible.

Some of the per-cpu counters and thus their locks are accessed from IRQ
contexts.  This can cause a deadlock if it interrupts a cpu-offline thread
which is transferring a dead-cpu's counts to the global counter.

Add appropriate IRQ protection in the cpu-hotplug callback path.

ba25f9dcc4 Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

8707d8b8c0 Fix cpusets update_cpumask
Cause writes to cpuset "cpus" file to update cpus_allowed for member tasks:

- collect batches of tasks under tasklist_lock and then call
  set_cpus_allowed() on them outside the lock (since this can sleep).

- add a simple generic priority heap type to allow efficient collection
  of batches of tasks to be processed without duplicating or missing any
  tasks in subsequent batches.

- make "cpus" file update a no-op if the mask hasn't changed

- fix race between update_cpumask() and sched_setaffinity() by making
  sched_setaffinity() post-check that it's not running on any cpus outside
  cpuset_cpus_allowed().
