* container freezer: add TIF_FREEZE flag to all architecturesMatt Helsley2008-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* clean up duplicated alloc/free_thread_infoFUJITA Tomonori2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We duplicate alloc/free_thread_info defines on many platforms (the majority uses __get_free_pages/free_pages). This patch defines common defines and removes these duplicated defines. __HAVE_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR is introduced for platforms that do something different.

* uml: current.h cleanupJeff Dike2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Tidy current-related stuff. There was a comment in current.h saying that current_thread was obsolete, so this patch turns all instances of current_thread into current_thread_info(). There's some simplifying of the result in arch/um/sys-i386/signal.c. current.h and thread_info also get style cleanups.

* uml: header untanglingJeff Dike2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Untangle UML headers somewhat and add some includes where they were needed explicitly, but gotten accidentally via some other header. arch/um/include/um_uaccess.h loses asm/fixmap.h because it uses no fixmap stuff and gains elf.h, because it needs FIXADDR_USER_*, and archsetjmp.h, because it needs jmp_buf. pmd_alloc_one is uninlined because it needs mm_struct, and that's inconvenient to provide in asm-um/pgtable-3level.h. elf_core_copy_fpregs is also uninlined from elf-i386.h and elf-x86_64.h, which duplicated the code anyway, to arch/um/kernel/process.c, so that the reference to current_thread doesn't pull sched.h or anything related into asm/elf.h. arch/um/sys-i386/ldt.c, arch/um/kernel/tlb.c and arch/um/kernel/skas/uaccess.c got sched.h because they dereference task_structs. Its includes of linux and asm headers got turned from "" to <>. arch/um/sys-i386/bug.c gets asm/errno.h because it needs errno constants. asm/elf-i386 gets asm/user.h because it needs user_regs_struct. asm/fixmap.h gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK and system.h for BUG_ON. asm/pgtable doesn't need sched.h. asm/processor-generic.h defined mm_segment_t, but didn't use it. So, that definition is moved to uaccess.h, which defines a bunch of mm_segment_t-related stuff. thread_info.h uses mm_segment_t, and includes uaccess.h, which causes a recursion. So, the definition is placed above the include of thread_info. in uaccess.h. thread_info.h also gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE. ObCheckpatchViolationJustification - I'm not adding a typedef; I'm moving mm_segment_t from one place to another.

* uml: iRQ stacksJeff Dike2007-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack. Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption. This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought. The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically. An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and non-NULL for any nested interrupts. Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained by not flipping signals on and off. If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this signal itself. Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes. The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at ->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue normally. Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero, will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

* [PATCH] streamline preempt_count type across archsJesper Juhl2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch. This patch makes the type of preempt_count an int on all archs. Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over. A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the only change in this version of the patch compared to the one he ACK'ed is that this one also makes sure the preempt_count member is consistently commented.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
