Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.
Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

(one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file

When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks that have
been running on that cpu.
Currently, such a task is migrated:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to
have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that
they share. Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a
specific cpu in that cpuset. And in that case the task's cpus_allowed
includes only a single cpu.
This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within
its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset).
With this patch, migrate the task to:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset
3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will
not block. (name change - per Oleg's suggestion)
Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set
the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and
migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.

Add a new per-cpuset flag called 'sched_load_balance'.
When enabled in a cpuset (the default value) it tells the kernel scheduler
that the scheduler should provide the normal load balancing on the CPUs in
that cpuset, sometimes moving tasks from one CPU to a second CPU if the
second CPU is less loaded and if that task is allowed to run there.
When disabled (write "0" to the file) then it tells the kernel scheduler
that load balancing is not required for the CPUs in that cpuset.
Now even if this flag is disabled for some cpuset, the kernel may still
have to load balance some or all the CPUs in that cpuset, if some
overlapping cpuset has its sched_load_balance flag enabled.
If there are some CPUs that are not in any cpuset whose sched_load_balance
flag is enabled, the kernel scheduler will not load balance tasks to those
CPUs.
Moreover the kernel will partition the 'sched domains' (non-overlapping
sets of CPUs over which load balancing is attempted) into the finest
granularity partition that it can find, while still keeping any two CPUs
that are in the same shed_load_balance enabled cpuset in the same element
of the partition.
This serves two purposes:
1) It provides a mechanism for real time isolation of some CPUs, and
2) it can be used to improve performance on systems with many CPUs
by supporting configurations in which load balancing is not done
across all CPUs at once, but rather only done in several smaller
disjoint sets of CPUs.
This mechanism replaces the earlier overloading of the per-cpuset
flag 'cpu_exclusive', which overloading was removed in an earlier
patch: cpuset-remove-sched-domain-hooks-from-cpusets
See further the Documentation and comments in the code itself.

This patch is inspired by the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics
as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263. The
patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward
ported)
This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses
code from the taskstats interface. A new set of cgroup operations are
registered with commands and attributes. It should be very easy to
*extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats
structure.
The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post
statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add. Currently
user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file
descriptor. Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup
is returned to user space.
TODO's/NOTE:
This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics.
Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics,
event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats
into cgroup statistics in the future.
Sample output
# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a
sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0
# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/
sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0
If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for
the same
Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!

Replace the struct css_set embedded in task_struct with a pointer; all tasks
that have the same set of memberships across all hierarchies will share a
css_set object, and will be linked via their css_sets field to the "tasks"
list_head in the css_set.
Assuming that many tasks share the same cgroup assignments, this reduces
overall space usage and keeps the size of the task_struct down (three pointers
added to task_struct compared to a non-cgroups kernel, no matter how many
subsystems are registered).

Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------
There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.
This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.
The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:
- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised
- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.
- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
chances of getting into the kernel
This patch:
Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
objects to tasks.

After adding checking to register_sysctl_table and finding a whole new set
of bugs. Missed by countless code reviews and testers I have finally lost
patience with the binary sysctl interface.
The binary sysctl interface has been sort of deprecated for years and
finding a user space program that uses the syscall is more difficult then
finding a needle in a haystack. Problems continue to crop up, with the in
kernel implementation. So since supporting something that no one uses is
silly, deprecate sys_sysctl with a sufficient grace period and notice that
the handful of user space applications that care can be fixed or replaced.
The /proc/sys sysctl interface that people use will continue to be
supported indefinitely.
This patch moves the tested warning about sysctls from the path where
sys_sysctl to a separate path called from both implementations of
sys_sysctl, and it adds a proper entry into
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.
Allowing us to revisit this in a couple years time and actually kill
sys_sysctl.

The sysctl binary paths don't look as if they even code work, .data is not

strategy routine.
So just kill the binary paths.
In addition this patch removes the setting of extra1 on directories. It
doesn't look like the parport code ever examines it, and it's bad sysctl form.

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.
This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.
For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.

The freezer should not send signals to kernel threads, since that may lead to
subtle problems. In particular, commit
b74d0deb968e1f85942f17080eace015ce3c332c has changed recalc_sigpending_tsk()
so that it doesn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING. For this reason, if the freezer
continues to send fake signals to kernel threads and the freezing of kernel
threads fails, some of them may be running with TIF_SIGPENDING set forever.
Accordingly, recalc_sigpending_tsk() shouldn't set the task's TIF_SIGPENDING
flag if TIF_FREEZE is set.

One important reason to freeze tasks, which is that we don't want them to
allocate memory after freeing it for the hibernation image, has not been
documented. Fix it.

The name of 'struct pm_ops' suggests that it is related to the power
management in general, but in fact it is only related to suspend. Moreover,
its name should indicate what this structure is used for, so it seems
reasonable to change it to 'struct platform_suspend_ops'. In that case, the
name of the global variable of this type used by the PM core and the names of
related functions should be changed accordingly.

The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.
Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.
This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):
- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
only with the 9P2000.u dialect.
- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
to access it will get EPERM error.
- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
one.

This patch abstracts out the interfaces to underlying transports so that
new transports can be added as modules. This should also allow kernel
configuration of transports without ifdef-hell.

Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.
/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.
This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:
rescheduling interrupts
TLB flush interrupts
function call interrupts
thermal event interrupts
threshold interrupts
spurious interrupts
A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.
Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.
A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.
Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.
AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.
