container freezer: add TIF_FREEZE flag to all architectures

2008-10-20T15:52:33Z

This patch series introduces a cgroup subsystem that utilizes the swsusp freezer to freeze a group of tasks. It's immediately useful for batch job management scripts. It should also be useful in the future for implementing container checkpoint/restart. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a cgroup file named freezer.state. Reading freezer.state will return the current state of the cgroup. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. * 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 patch: The first step in making the refrigerator() available to all architectures, even for those without power management. The purpose of such a change is to be able to use the refrigerator() in a new control group subsystem which will implement a control group freezer.

net: Fix build with ARCH=um

2008-09-19T19:44:54Z

If UM is going to claim that it supports DMA by setting HAS_DMA, it should provide a dma_mapping_error() implementation. Based upon a report by Julius Volz. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

remove dummy asm/kvm.h files

2008-07-25T18:35:50Z

This patch removes the dummy asm/kvm.h files on architectures not (yet) supporting KVM and uses the same conditional headers installation as already used for a.out.h . Also removed are superfluous install rules in the s390 and x86 Kbuild files (they are already in Kbuild.asm). Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

clean up duplicated alloc/free_thread_info

2008-07-25T17:53:28Z

We duplicate alloc/free_thread_info defines on many platforms (the majority uses __get_free_pages/free_pages). This patch defines common defines and removes these duplicated defines. __HAVE_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR is introduced for platforms that do something different.

UML: make several more things static

2008-07-24T17:47:24Z

- Make some variables and functions static, since they don't need to be global. - Remove an unused function - arch/um/kernel/time.c::sched_clock(). - Clean the style a bit as complained by checkpatch.pl.
