ChangeLog:
Feedbacks from Andrew Morton:
- define TS_COMM_LEN to 32
- change acct_stimexpd field of task_struct to be of
cputime_t, which is to be used to save the tsk->stime
of last timer interrupt update.
- a new Documentation/accounting/taskstats-struct.txt
to describe fields of taskstats struct.Feedback from Balbir Singh:
- keep the stime of a task to be zero when both stime
and utime are zero as recoreded in task_struct.Misc:
- convert accumulated RSS/VM from platform dependent
pages-ticks to MBytes-usecs in the kernelCc: Shailabh Nagar

Fix the length passed while (un)registering cpumask. We were passing sizeof
the array, make it strlen().Error value printed in fatal errors should be derived from the message. The
message contains an nlmsgerr embedded with an error value. We must report
that value to the user.Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh

Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset
to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook
from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only.On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make
use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory
nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression
over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled.One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the
behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which
automatically tracks the cpu_online_map.This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,
little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to
short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single
cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply
changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change
(the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change,
that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly
refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead
into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they
haven't.In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes
allowed by their cpuset.[akpm@osdl.org: build fix]

it87: Add support for the IT8718F
The IT8718F is a Super-I/O chip with integrated hardware monitoring
functions. It is very similar to the IT8716F, so adding support to the
it87 driver was pretty straightforward. The most significant difference
is that the IT8718F has up to 8 VID pins, instead of 6 for the older
chips.For the IT8718F, the VID value can only be read from Super-I/O space.
Userspace support is already in lm_sensors SVN (to be soon released
as 2.10.1.)Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

it87: Add support for the IT8716F
The IT8716F is a Super-I/O chip with integrated hardware monitoring
functions. It is very similar to the IT8712F, so adding support to the
it87 driver was pretty straightforward. The most significant change here
is that the IT8716F has 16-bit fan speed counters, so the user no more
needs to tweak the fan clock dividers to get the best readings.Userspace support is already in lm_sensors SVN (to be soon released
as 2.10.1.)Thanks to Stian Oksavik, Olivier Nicolas, Prakash Punnoor and
Juergen Kilb for testing the early versions of this patch.Thanks also to ITE for providing datasheets and answering my questions.

The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does
not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and
a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at
upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier,
without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately".The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but
it's not always available.I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb").
Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much
breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev
