cpu_hotplug_begin() must be always called under cpu_add_remove_lock, this
means that only one process can be cpu_hotplug.active_writer. So we don't
need the cpu_hotplug.writer_queue, we can wake up the ->active_writer
directly.
Also, fix the comment.

When cpu_populated_map was introduced, it was supposed that cwq->thread can
survive after CPU_DEAD, that is why we never shrink cpu_populated_map.
This is not very nice, we can safely remove the already dead CPU from the map.
The only required change is that destroy_workqueue() must hold the hotplug
lock until it destroys all cwq->thread's, to protect the cpu_populated_map.
We could make the local copy of cpu mask and drop the lock, but
sizeof(cpumask_t) may be very large.
Also, fix the comment near queue_work(). Unless _cpu_down() happens we do
guarantee the cpu-affinity of the work_struct, and we have users which rely on
this.

This flag provides the hardwalling properties of mem_exclusive, without
enforcing the exclusivity. Either mem_hardwall or mem_exclusive is sufficient
to prevent GFP_KERNEL allocations from passing outside the cpuset's assigned
nodes.

Currently the cpusets mem_exclusive flag is overloaded to mean both
"no-overlapping" and "no GFP_KERNEL allocations outside this cpuset".
These patches add a new mem_hardwall flag with just the allocation restriction
part of the mem_exclusive semantics, without breaking backwards-compatibility
for those who continue to use just mem_exclusive. Additionally, the cgroup
control file registration for cpusets is cleaned up to reduce boilerplate.
This patch:
This change tidies up the cpusets control file definitions, and reduces the
amount of boilerplate required to add/change control files in the future.

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

Introduce a read_seq() helper in cftype, which uses seq_file to print out
lists. Use it in the devices cgroup. Also split devices.allow into two
files, so now devices.deny and devices.allow are the ones to use to manipulate
the whitelist, while devices.list outputs the cgroup's current whitelist.

We are at system boot and there is only 1 cgroup group (i,e, init_css_set), so
we don't need to run through the css_set linked list. Neither do we need to
run through the task list, since no processes have been created yet.
Also referring to a comment in cgroup.h:
struct css_set
{
...
/*
* Set of subsystem states, one for each subsystem. This array
* is immutable after creation apart from the init_css_set
* during subsystem registration (at boot time).

When we attach a process to a different cgroup, the css_set linked-list will
be run through to find a suitable existing css_set to use. This patch
implements a hash table for better performance.
The following benchmarks have been tested:
For N in 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, create N cgroups with one sleeping
task in each, and then move an additional task through each cgroup in
turn.
Here is a test result:

The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and
whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to
know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag
in the taint state.
This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition.
These archs are:
1. s390
2. superh
3. avr32
4. parisc
The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list
in this email to alert them to the situation.
The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the
new flag.

My recent additions to compat_ptrace_request made it mandatory
for CONFIG_COMPAT arch's to define copy_siginfo_from_user32.
This broke some builds, though they all really should get cleaned
up in that way.
Since all the arch's that actually call compat_ptrace_request have
now been cleaned up to use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, we can
avoid the build problems on the crufty arch's by changing the
conditionals on the definition.

The scheduler hrtimer bits in 2.6.25 introduced a circular lock
dependency in a rare code path:
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.25-sched-devel.git-x86-latest.git #19
-------------------------------------------------------
X/2980 is trying to acquire lock:
(&rq->rq_lock_key#2){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80230146>] task_rq_lock+0x56/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:
(&cpu_base->lock){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80257ae1>] lock_hrtimer_base+0x31/0x60
which lock already depends on the new lock.
The scenario which leads to this is:
posix-timer signal is delivered
-> posix-timer is rearmed
timer is already expired in hrtimer_enqueue()
-> softirq is raised
To prevent this we need to move the raise of the softirq out of the
base->lock protected code path.

Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch
back to the original VT. This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if
the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly.
This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt
switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook. It also adds a module
param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch).
(Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but
we should probably have some form of locking..)

Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule(). One way of prohibiting the
user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes. But
this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to
different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section). So we
use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions.
In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address
and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure. Then we verify the user specified
address against start and end of the blacklisted function. So any attempt to
register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.

Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with (set)uid-0
based privilege and use capabilities instead. That is, with filesystem
support for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually)
possible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain
privilege via (set)uid-0.
Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible since few
user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently
prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege. Further, many
applications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel
will continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs.
Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is
desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their
privilege. In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable
sets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser
from the process' tree of children.
The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege
associated with (set)uid-0. This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to
initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current' process (it is inherited
through fork()/exec()). This reimplementation differs significantly from the
historical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which
has ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.
With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop
all legacy privilege (through uid=0) for itself and all subsequently
fork()'d/exec()'d children with:
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f);
This patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is
enabled at configure time.

This patch renames mpol_copy() to mpol_dup() because, well, that's what it
does. Like, e.g., strdup() for strings, mpol_dup() takes a pointer to an
existing mempolicy, allocates a new one and copies the contents.
In a later patch, I want to use the name mpol_copy() to copy the contents from
one mempolicy to another like, e.g., strcpy() does for strings.

This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman. Makes sense
to me, so here it is.
Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does
free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object. However, ...
The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted,
so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy. The
mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the
shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of
allocating a page based on the mempolicy. In that case, the task performing
the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via
mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks
holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy.

Add some values of page flags to the vmcoreinfo data.
The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
An old makedumpfile (v1.2.4 or before) had assumed some values of page flags
internally, and this implementation could not follow the change of these
values. For example, Christoph Lameter is changing these values by the
follwing patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/29/463
So a new makedumpfile (v1.2.5) came to need these values and I created this
patch to let the kernel output them.

NR_PAGEFLAGS specifies the number of page flags we are using. From that we
can calculate the number of bits leftover that can be used for zone, node (and
maybe the sections id). There is no need anymore for FLAGS_RESERVED if we use
NR_PAGEFLAGS.
Use the new methods to make NR_PAGEFLAGS available via the preprocessor.
NR_PAGEFLAGS is used to calculate field boundaries in the page flags fields.
These field widths have to be available to the preprocessor.
