Merge branch 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
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->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 cgroup: fix some comment typos
