5d026c7242 fs: initial qnx6fs addition
Adds support for qnx6fs readonly support to the linux kernel.

* Mount option
  The option mmi_fs can be used to mount Harman Becker/Audi MMI 3G
  HDD qnx6fs filesystems.

* Documentation
  A high level filesystem stucture description can be found in the
  Documentation/filesystems directory. (qnx6.txt)

* Additional features
  - Active (stable) superblock selection
  - Superblock checksum check (enforced)
  - Supports mount of qnx6 filesystems with to host different endianess
  - Automatic endianess detection
  - Longfilename support (with non-enfocing crc check)
  - All blocksizes (512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 supported)

ca01d6dd2d pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage
Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash.  This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in
/dev/pstore.  Once the information has been seen, the underlying
storage is freed by deleting the files.

1107ba885e xen: add xenfs to allow usermode <-> Xen interaction
The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode.  Initially
this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore.

Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen.  Rather than extending procfs,
this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides
a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.

7c9f8861e6 stackprotector: use canary at end of stack to indicate overruns at oops time
(Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about
the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches)

Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate
at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed.

This is a very simple implementation with a couple of
drawbacks:

1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last
   word on the stack

 -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim

2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough
   that the canary location could get skipped over

 -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun
 -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :(

With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might
do:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680
IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8
PGD 8063 PUD 0
Thread overran stack or stack corrupted
Oops: 0000 [1] SMP
CPU 0
...

... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other
thread.

ddbcc7e8e5 Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework
Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------

There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others.  These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.

This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.

The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:

- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised

- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
 conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.

- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
 management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
 to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
 chances of getting into the kernel

This patch:

Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
objects to tasks.

inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in

This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
(and whatever else there'll be).

939b00df03 [PATCH] Minix V3 support
This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my
2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4.

Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work,
patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/

Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it
a bit before applying.  The resulting kernel boots, and reads the
filesystem it needed to read.

Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project

of the fsinfo structure on Linux:

  https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html

Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.
