Patrick Ohly cb9eff0978 net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets
User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.

When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.

The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

Ivan Kokshaysky 945048ca36 alpha: fix the BUG() macro
The commit "alpha: teach the compiler that BUG doesn't return"
(ed6b9b97f4) moved the asm code into inline
function which takes __FILE__ and __LINE__ as arguments.  This violates
asm constrains there ("i" - an immediate operand with constant value), so
that compile may result in warning or error, depending on compiler
version.

Just adding an infinite loop to the BUG() is sufficient.

Ivan Kokshaysky 5f7dc5d750 alpha: fix RTC on marvel
Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware
- RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls.  Unfortunately, for unknown
reason these calls work only on CPU #0.  So current implementation for
arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI.
However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard
get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with
disabled interrupts.

Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions,
not for individual CMOS accesses.  Which is also a lot more effective
performance-wise.

The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook.
My changes:
- tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to
  avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h;
- sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs).

NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers.  Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver
wont't work on marvel.  Actually I think that we should just disable
CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK,
all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

Rusty Russell 2258a5bb10 cpumask: alpha: Introduce cpumask_of_{node,pcibus} to replace {node,pcibus}_to_cpumask
Impact: New APIs

The old node_to_cpumask/node_to_pcibus returned a cpumask_t: these
return a pointer to a struct cpumask.  Part of removing cpumasks from
the stack.

I'm not sure the existing code even compiles, but new version is
straightforward.

Rusty Russell 98a79d6a50 cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map
Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

Matt Helsley 83224b0837 container freezer: add TIF_FREEZE flag to all architectures
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.

David Woodhouse 92a7507926 Make <asm-generic/statfs.h> suitable for 64-bit platforms.
At the moment, 64-bit platforms (other than Alpha) are all redefining
things for themselves instead of using <asm-generic/statfs.h>.

As is ARM, since it has special requirements w.r.t. padding.

Make <asm-generic/statfs.h> more generic, and they can use it directly.
