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.

Kirill A. Shutemov 53112488be alpha: introduce field 'taso' into struct linux_binprm
This change is Alpha-specific.  It adds field 'taso' into struct
linux_binprm to remember if the application is TASO.  Previously, field
sh_bang was used for this purpose.

Martin Schwidefsky 0b59268285 [PATCH] remove unused ibcs2/PER_SVR4 in SET_PERSONALITY
The SET_PERSONALITY macro is always called with a second argument of 0.
Remove the ibcs argument and the various tests to set the PER_SVR4
personality.

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.

Linus Torvalds 024b246ed2 alpha: move include/asm-alpha to arch/alpha/include/asm
Sam Ravnborg did the build-test that the direct header file move works,
I'm just committing it.

This is a pure move:

	mkdir arch/alpha/include
	git mv include/asm-alpha arch/alpha/include/asm

with no other changes.
