task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However
task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order
1) release_task(task)
2) release_task(task->parent)
3) a grace period passed
But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive()
can't be true in such a case.
Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us.

Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data
(including sub-threads traversal) except:
->signal->tty
protected by tty_mutex
->real_parent
the task can't be unhashed while we are holding
->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us
but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock()
->pgrp/->session
we can get inconsistent numbers if the task does
sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this
is acceptable.

Export I/O delays seen by a task through /proc/<tgid>/stats for use in top
etc.
Note that delays for I/O done for swapping in pages (swapin I/O) is clubbed
together with all other I/O here (this is not the case in the netlink
interface where the swapin I/O is kept distinct)

Remove the it_real_value from /proc/*/stat, during 1.2.x was the last time it
returned useful data (as it was directly maintained by the scheduler), now
it's only a waste of time to calculate it. Return 0 instead.

I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
configurations.
Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss
upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

With the new fdtable locking rules, you have to protect fdtable with either
->file_lock or rcu_read_lock/unlock(). There are some places where we
aren't doing either. This patch fixes those places.

In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

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!
