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.

The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was

developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.

The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
|

bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for

the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
|
|
1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

This option prevents any floating-point instructions from being

floating point context anymore during task switches, so this

kernel will only be usable on machines without a floating-point

The 68060 generally uses copyback caching of recently accessed data.

Copyback caching means that memory writes will be held in an on-chip

caching. Writethrough caching means that data is written to memory

Writethrough caching is less efficient, but is needed for some

---help---
|
|
If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
|
|
system console (the system console is the device which receives all
|
|
kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
|
|
mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
|
|
to that serial port.
|
|
|
|
Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
|
|
(/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
|
|
you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
|
|
"console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
|
|
your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
|
|
kernel at boot time.)
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
|
|
kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
|
|
system console.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
