The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem
As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time;
all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on
a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata)
are up to the foo subsystem.
This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be,
but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems
wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing
since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run.
Hugh said:
Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than
processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead
to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to
1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page).
I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or
without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.
Unix bench's execl test result on x86_64 was
== just after boot without mounting any cgroup fs.==
mem_cgorup=off : Execl Throughput 43.0 3150.1 732.6
mem_cgroup=on : Execl Throughput 43.0 2932.6 682.0

Some time ago it turned out that our suspend code ordering broke some
NVidia-based systems that hung if _PTS was executed with one of the PCI
devices, specifically a USB controller, in a low power state.
Then, it was noticed that the suspend code ordering was not compliant
with ACPI 1.0, although it was compliant with ACPI 2.0 (and later), and
it was argued that the code had to be changed for that reason (ref.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528).
So we did, but evidently we did wrong, because it's now turning out that
some systems have been broken by this change. Refs:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10340https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374217#c16
[ I said at that time that something like this might happend, but the
majority of people involved thought that it was improbable due to the
necessity to preserve the compliance of hardware with ACPI 1.0. ]
This actually is a quite serious regression from 2.6.24.
Moreover, the ACPI 1.0 ordering of suspend code introduced another issue
that I have only noticed recently. Namely, if the suspend of one of
devices fails, the already suspended devices will be resumed without
executing _WAK before, which leads to problems on some systems (for
example, in such situations thermal management is broken on my HP
nx6325). Consequently, it also breaks suspend debugging on the affected
systems.
Note also, that the requirement to execute _PTS before suspending
devices does not really make sense, because the device in question may
be put into a low power state at run time for a reason unrelated to a
system-wide suspend.
For the reasons outlined above, the change of the suspend ordering
should be reverted, which is done by the patch below.

This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly
all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of
the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach
to which ethernet device node.
The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the
corresponding device trees. This won't break backwards compatiblity,
because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is
part of the kernel image.
The references to linux,network-index are removed from
booting-without-of.txt. Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack
applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the
same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt
which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or
bootloaders which produce a device tree. By the time the device tree
reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.

Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current:
- Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the
current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small
sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to.
Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end.
- Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file
and better explains what this really does.
Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy
pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with
that important task.

Implement support for the E-Ink Metronome controller. It provides an mmapable
interface to the controller using defio support. It was tested with a gumstix
pxa255 with Vizplex media using Xfbdev and various X clients such as xeyes,
xpdf, xloadimage.
This patch also fixes the following bug: Defio would cause a hang on write

fixes fb_defio by setting the mapping to be used by page_mkclean.

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9ad
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.
It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.
For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.
