* exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipesNeil Horman2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* memory controller: soft limit documentationBalbir Singh2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* memcg: remove the overhead associated with the root cgroupBalbir Singh2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* cgroups: let ss->can_attach and ss->attach do whole threadgroups at a timeBen Blum2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* cgroups: support named cgroups hierarchiesPaul Menage2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 option A 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 mount -t cgroup -oname=foo cgroup /mnt/cgroup2 Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

This second revision of the driver also exports the ACPI string info as sysfs attributes, a list of the devices that the meter measures, and will send ACPI notifications over the ACPI netlink socket. This latest revision only enables the power capping controls if it can be confirmed that the power cap can be enforced by the hardware and explains how the notification interfaces work.

So, this is probably some sort of backwards compatibility with older versions of the IBM ThinkVantage suite. We have no use for that, and I know of exactly ZERO users of that attribute, anyway.
