Extended crashkernel command line
This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:
crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
range=start-[end]
For example:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.
This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.
This patch:
This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.
If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

hotplug cpu: migrate a task within its cpuset
When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks that have
been running on that cpu.
Currently, such a task is migrated:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to
have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that
they share. Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a
specific cpu in that cpuset. And in that case the task's cpus_allowed
includes only a single cpu.
This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within
its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset).
With this patch, migrate the task to:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset
3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will
not block. (name change - per Oleg's suggestion)
Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set
the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and
migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.

is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case
to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized
right before the .pgrp.
This is the same patch as the
1ec320afdc9552c92191d5f89fcd1ebe588334ca one
(from Cedric), but for the pgrp field.
Some progress report:
We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct
task_struct and struct signal_struct. The session and pgrp are already
deprecated. The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage
in in fs/locks.c and audit code. The pid field deprecation is mainly
blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to
log.

Fix tsk->exit_state usage
tsk->exit_state can only be 0, EXIT_ZOMBIE, or EXIT_DEAD. A non-zero test
is the same as tsk->exit_state & (EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD), so just testing
tsk->exit_state is sufficient.

proc: export a processes resource limits via /proc/pid
Currently, there exists no method for a process to query the resource
limits of another process. They can be inferred via some mechanisms but
they cannot be explicitly determined. Given that this information can be
usefull to know during the debugging of an application, I've written this
patch which exports all of a processes limits via /proc/<pid>/limits.
