[GIT PULL] cgroup changes for v4.2-rc1

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri Jun 26 2015 - 11:56:51 EST


Hello, Linus.

* threadgroup_lock got reorganized so that its users can pick the
actual locking mechanism to use. Its only user - cgroups - is
updated to use a percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem. This
makes things a bit lighter on hot paths and allows cgroups to
perform and fail multi-task (a process) migrations atomically.
Multi-task migrations are used in several places including the
unified hierarchy.

* Delegation rule and documentation added to unified hierarchy. This
will likely be the last interface update from the cgroup core side
for unified hierarchy before lifting the devel mask.

* Some groundwork for the pids controller which is scheduled to be
merged in the coming devel cycle.

Thanks.
