Both CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y and CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y track task
sched_info, which results in ugly #if clauses.

Simplify the code by introducing a synthethic CONFIG_SCHED_INFO
switch, selected by both.

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
  to speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module
  lock doing that too.

  A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
  breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
  another module (yeah, really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual
  suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
  appended too"

So I tried to some kernel debugging that produced a ton of kernel messages
on a big box, and wanted to save them all: but CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT maxes
out at 21 (2 MB).

Increase it to 25 (32 MB).

This does not affect any existing config or defaults.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - 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.

* 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cgroup: add delegation section to unified hierarchy documentation
  cgroup: require write perm on common ancestor when moving processes on the default hierarchy
  cgroup: separate out cgroup_procs_write_permission() from __cgroup_procs_write()
  kernfs: make kernfs_get_inode() public
  MAINTAINERS: add a cgroup core co-maintainer
  cgroup: fix uninitialised iterator in for_each_subsys_which
  cgroup: replace explicit ss_mask checking with for_each_subsys_which
  cgroup: use bitmask to filter for_each_subsys
  cgroup: add seq_file forward declaration for struct cftype
  cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking
  sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct-&gt;group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem
  sched, cgroup: reorganize threadgroup locking
  cgroup: switch to unsigned long for bitmasks
  cgroup: reorganize include/linux/cgroup.h
  cgroup: separate out include/linux/cgroup-defs.h

<title>fs, proc: introduce CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 818411616baf ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/task/&lt;tid&gt;/children
entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
I would like to use it in rkt.  The rkt process exec() another program
it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
process.  I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.

This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it.  This allows enabling
/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/task/&lt;tid&gt;/children without needing to enable
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.

Alban tested that /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/task/&lt;tid&gt;/children is present when the
kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

Andreas turned this option on, only to find out Debian (and Ubuntu!)
don't enable support in their kmod builds.

Shorten the text, and suggest N at the bottom (at least for now).
