9acee190c8 sparc: combine unistd_{32,64}.h
This is complicated a little because compat_audit.c wants to see only
the 32bit syscall numbers, but is being built in a 64bit compile.

422e23ea08 sparc64: Use NMI oprofile profiling on cheetah and derivative cpus.
We use clock cycle counter, adjusted to HZ.

This can be extended to sun4v based processors as well, as they
also have a proper overflow interrupt facility for the performance
counters.

f9aad60010 sparc64: Block NMIs in critical section of context switch.
In these instructions we load the new thread register, switch

b4f4372f96 sparc64: Make %pil level 15 a pseudo-NMI.
So that we can profile code even in a local_irq_disable() section,

c6afec5e4d sparc: Include drivers/pcmcia/Kconfig
Stephen Rothwell pointed out that pcmcia can't be enabled on sparc64.

There is an empty non-prompt PCMCIA explicit entry in
arch/sparc/Kconfig but that doesn't do anything.

32-bit sparc needs a small hack to make this work, since it doesn't
use the generic IRQ layer yes.  We have to provide a dummy definition
of probe_irq_mask(), since this is used by the yenta socket driver.

0871420fad sparc64: Add tsb-ratio sysctl.
Add a sysctl to tweak the RSS limit used to decide when to grow
the TSB for an address space.

In order to avoid expensive divides and multiplies only simply
positive and negative powers of two are supported.

The function computed takes the number of TSB translations that will
fit at one time in the TSB of a given size, and either adds or
subtracts a percentage of entries.  This final value is the
RSS limit.

See tsb_size_to_rss_limit().

26b4c91218 sparc,sparc64: unify Kconfig files
Merge all of sparc64 Kconfig to sparc Kconfig.
The merge was checked by:
- visual inspection in menuconfig
- result of allnoconfig, allmodconfig, allyesconfig was checked before and after
- result of a number of randconfig was checked before and after

scripts/diffconfig was used to check if the config differed before and after

The validity of the test was checked by on purpose introducing
a few bugs - and they were all caught by first run.

64f2dde3f7 sparc64: Run the kernel always in the TSO memory model.
The fact of the matter is, all UltraSPARC-III and later chips only
implement TSO.  They don't implement PSO and RMO memory models at all.

Only the Ultra-I and Ultra-II family chips implement RMO and they are
only helped marginally by using this setting when executing kernel
code.

The big plus to doing this is that we can eliminate all of the non-Sync
memory barriers in the kernel except for the ones used in the optimized
memcpy/memset code (these use block load and store operations which
have their own memory ordering rules).

dc52ddc0e6 container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.

* 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 is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.

It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
		the freezer.state file
	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
		and returns EIO)
	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

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.
