Merge branch 'core/softlockup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'core/softlockup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
softlockup: make DETECT_HUNG_TASK default depend on DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
softlockup: move 'one' to the softlockup section in sysctl.c
softlockup: ensure the task has been switched out once
softlockup: remove timestamp checking from hung_task
softlockup: convert read_lock in hung_task to rcu_read_lock
softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task
softlockup: remove unused definition for spawn_softlockup_task
softlockup: fix potential race in hung_task when resetting timeout
softlockup: fix to allow compiling with !DETECT_HUNG_TASK
softlockup: decouple hung tasks check from softlockup detection
