The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the
stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections.
However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width
which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and
data-section alignment of at least this size.
This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that
is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's
not defined by the architecture.
It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an
uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.

This renames include/asm-h8300/timer.h into arch/h8300/include/asm: it
was left over just because that file had been created in the -mm tree
before the whole h8300 header subdirectory had been moved, and then got
merged in the old location afterwards.
(See commits e0b0f9e4ead2468f84c26332ec42b118e76af572: "h8300: update
timer handler - new files" and 758db3f2118703a1e36374dae5d58bed963e7e0d:
"[h8300] move include/asm-h8300 to arch/h8300/include/asm" for details).
This also removes a left-over .gitignore file in include/asm-arm that
became stale when the ARM header files were moved (which happened in
multiple commits, just see "git log -- include/asm-arm" for details).

The current definition of CALLER_ADDRx isn't suitable for all platforms.
E.g. for ARM __builtin_return_address(N) doesn't work for N > 0 and
AFAIK for powerpc there are no frame pointers needed to have a working
__builtin_return_address. This patch allows defining the CALLER_ADDRx
macros in <asm/ftrace.h> and let these take precedence.
Because now <asm/ftrace.h> is included unconditionally in
<linux/ftrace.h> all archs that don't already had this include get an
empty one for free.

User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.
When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.
The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems:
(1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
shmat's (and forks) done.
(2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
process or a dead process.
A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.
This patch makes the following additional changes:
(1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,
each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is
interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.
(2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.
(3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may
end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
appended to the sort key.
(4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.
(5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if
necessary.
(6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple
shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.
(7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.
(8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
that aren't actually mapped anywhere.
(9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not
anonymous.
These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

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.
