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.

Most ARM machines don't need a special "DMA" memory zone, and
when configured out, the kernel becomes a bit smaller:
| text data bss dec hex filename
|3826182 102384 111700 4040266 3da64a vmlinux
|3823593 101616 111700 4036909 3d992d vmlinux.nodmazone
This is because the system now has only one zone total which effect is
to optimize away many conditionals in page allocation paths.
So let's configure this zone only on machines that need split zones.

HAVE_AOUT doesn't quite do the same thing as the recently removed
ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT config option. That was set even on platforms where
binfmt_aout isn't supported, although it's not entirely clear why.
So it's best just to introduce a new symbol, handled consistently with
other similar HAVE_xxx symbols; with a simple 'select' in the arch Kconfig.

Ordinarily, memory holes in flatmem still have a valid memmap and is safe
to use. However, an architecture (ARM) frees up the memmap backing memory
holes on the assumption it is never used. /proc/pagetypeinfo reads the
whole range of pages in a zone believing that the memmap is valid and that
pfn_valid will return false if it is not. On ARM, freeing the memmap breaks
the page->zone linkages even though pfn_valid() returns true and the kernel
can oops shortly afterwards due to accessing a bogus struct zone *.
This patch lets architectures say when FLATMEM can have holes in the
memmap. Rather than an expensive check for valid memory, /proc/pagetypeinfo
will confirm that the page linkages are still valid by checking page->zone
is still the expected zone. The lookup of page_zone is safe as there is a
limited range of memory that is accessed when calling page_zone. Even if
page_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters
in /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is
unlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.

This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
request to get it built in.
The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
functions in its asm/gpio.h file. This patch adds the implementations for
x86 and PPC.
With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions. Support
for more architectures can easily be added.

Flag platforms as HAVE_CLK (or not) in Kconfig, based on whether they
support <linux/clk.h> calls, so that otherwise portable drivers which need
those calls can list that dependency.
Something like this is a prerequisite for merging the musb_hdrc driver,
currently used on platforms including Davinci, OMAP2430, OMAP3xx ... and
the discrete TUSB6010 chip, which doesn't have a natural platform
dependency. (Used with OMAP 2420 in current Nokia N8x0 tablets.)
