CHAR: Delete old and now unused DS1286 driver.

2008-10-30T14:44:35Z

It was only used by two SGI platforms which recently were converted to RTC_LIB and with RTC_LIB enabled the legacy drivers are no more selectable. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Yoichi Yuasa

MIPS: EMMA: Kconfig reorganization

2008-10-27T16:18:29Z

- Move EMMA related stuff into arch/mips/emma/Kconfig - Create CONFIG_SOC_EMMA* to handle more EMMA SoCs effectively - Rename CONFIG_MARKEINS into CONFIG_NEC_MARKEINS Signed-off-by: Shinya Kuribayashi Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Add CONFIG_CPU_R5500 for NEC VR5500 series processors

2008-10-27T16:18:29Z

We already have sufficient infrastructure to support VR5500 and VR5500A series processors. Here's a Makefile support to make it selectable by ports, and enable it for NEC EMMA2RH Markeins board. This patch also fixes a confused target help, and adds 1Gb PageMask bits supported by VR5500 and its variants. Signed-off-by: Shinya Kuribayashi Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

The following patch add support for the NXP PNX833x SOC. More specifically it adds support for the STB222/5 variant. It fixes the vectored interrupt issue. Signed-off-by: daniel.j.laird Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem

2008-10-20T15:52:34Z

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.
