745dd2405e Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions
The removal of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit a583f1b542
"remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag," resulted in incorrect
setting of the unaligned access control flags by the prctl syscall.

The re-addition of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit d0420c83f3
"KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]"
further caused problems, namely incorrect operands to assembler code
as evidenced by:

AS      arch/alpha/kernel/entry.o
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S:326: Warning: operand out of range
(0x0000000000000406 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and
0x00000000000000ff)

Both regressions fixed by (1) rearranging TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag to be
in lower 8 bits of the thread info flags, and (2) making sure that
ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT matches the rearrangement of the thread info flags.

15f3c47658 alpha: move THREAD_SIZE definition outside #ifndef ASSEMBLY
arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S uses it:

arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds:241: undefined symbol `THREAD_SIZE' referenced in expression

    alpha: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.

    Note that .data.page_aligned and .data.cacheline_aligned are now after
    _data; it was probably a bug that they were before it.

    Also, some explicit ALIGN(8)'s between various initcall sections were
    removed; this should be harmless as the implicit alignment of
    initcall_t was already 8.

d0420c83f3 KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]
Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.

After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
alteration of assembly code to make it work.

Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
session keyring on the parent of a process.

c99e6efe1b sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT
Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

83224b0837 container freezer: add TIF_FREEZE flag to all architectures
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.

024b246ed2 alpha: move include/asm-alpha to arch/alpha/include/asm
Sam Ravnborg did the build-test that the direct header file move works,
I'm just committing it.

This is a pure move:

	mkdir arch/alpha/include
	git mv include/asm-alpha arch/alpha/include/asm

with no other changes.
