Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl.
Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem,
we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the
system simply by running bad applications.If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can
have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system.This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption.
core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel,
dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log.
A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may
be handled (this is the default value).[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Soft limits is a new feature for the memory resource controller, something
similar has existed in the group scheduler in the form of shares. The CPU
controllers interpretation of shares is very different though.Soft limits are the most useful feature to have for environments where the
administrator wants to overcommit the system, such that only on memory
contention do the limits become active. The current soft limits
implementation provides a soft_limit_in_bytes interface for the memory
controller and not for memory+swap controller. The implementation
maintains an RB-Tree of groups that exceed their soft limit and starts
reclaiming from the group that exceeds this limit by the maximum amount.This patch:

Change the memory cgroup to remove the overhead associated with accounting
all pages in the root cgroup. As a side-effect, we can no longer set a
memory hard limit in the root cgroup.A new flag to track whether the page has been accounted or not has been
added as well. Flags are now set atomically for page_cgroup,
pcg_default_flags is now obsolete and removed.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix a few documentation glitches]

Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with
a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a
pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.)Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right
information.[hidave.darkstar@gmail.com: fix build]

To simplify referring to cgroup hierarchies in mount statements, and to
allow disambiguation in the presence of empty hierarchies and
multiply-bindable subsystems this patch adds support for naming a new
cgroup hierarchy via the "name=" mount optionA pre-existing hierarchy may be specified by either name or by subsystems;
a hierarchy's name cannot be changed by a remount operation.Example usage:
# To create a hierarchy called "foo" containing the "cpu" subsystem
mount -t cgroup -oname=foo,cpu cgroup /mnt/cgroup1# To mount the "foo" hierarchy on a second location

I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just
always enable it. There are many reasons for doing this:* CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it
definitely works or we would know by now.* Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set
results in the following build warning:drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build
warnings are still annoying.* The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD,
which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't
load the same kernel module more than once.* I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code
significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says. A few extra
parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in
comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access.* The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the
driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%.* One less configuration option makes things simpler. We add options
all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice. It improves
testing coverage. And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still
popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings.* We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after
this change (patches follow.)Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

Many gpio chips allow to generate interrupts when the value of a pin
changes. This patch gives usermode application the opportunity to make
use of this feature by calling poll(2) on the /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value
sysfs file. The edge to trigger can be set in the edge file in the same
directory. Possible values are "none", "rising", "falling", and "both".Using level triggers is not possible with current sysfs since nothing
changes the GPIO value (and the IRQ keeps triggering). Edge triggering
will "just work". Note that if there was an event between read() and
poll(), the poll() returns immediately.Also note that this version only supports true GPIO interrupts. Some
later patch might be able to synthesize this behavior by timer-driven
polling; some systems seem to need that.[dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net: align ids to 16 bit ids; whitespace]

Commit 926b663ce8215ba448960e1ff6e58b67a2c3b99b (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to
be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides
more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per
GPIO basis.Adapted from David Brownell's comments on a similar concept:

CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS allows the kernel to read the system time from the RTC
at boot and resume, avoiding the need for userspace to do so.
Unfortunately userspace currently has no way to know whether this
configuration option is enabled and thus cannot sensibly choose whether to
run hwclock itself or not. Add a hctosys sysfs attribute which indicates
whether a given RTC set the system clock.Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett
