<title>powerpc/pmac: Don't register pmac PIC syscore ops when HW not present</title>

<content type='text'>
The Apple custom PIC only exist in some earlier machine models,
anything with an MPIC will crash on suspend if we register those
syscore ops unconditionally.

This is a regression caused by commit f5a592f7d74e ("PM / PowerPC: Use
struct syscore_ops instead of sysdevs for PM")

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano &lt;dlezcano@fr.ibm.com&gt;
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman &lt;ebiederm@xmission.com&gt;
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

<title>cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup</title>

<id>a77aea92010acf54ad785047234418d5d68772e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.
