Subject: [RFC v0 0/9] Remove CPU_*_FROZEN

Hi

I was looking at Thomas' "CPU hotplug rework - episode I" series [1]
and noted the CPU_*_FROZEN bits in there.

In 2007 CPU_TASK_FROZEN was introduced to allow subsystem to
distinguish between normal CPU hotplug events and CPU hotplug events
under system-wide suspend or resume operations [2]. As it turns out
almost no subsystem is interested in this information. 

So this begs the question why having the additional complexity in the
CPU state handling instead of having an explicit function for
retrieving this information. Here and attempt to rip out
CPU_TASKS_FROZEN bits.

Overall I think it is worth doing so but you might see it differently.
FWIW, the image size is slightly smaller too in my sample
configuration.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
16794542        4462208 14954496        36211246        2288a2e vmlinux
16794267        4462208 14954496        36210971        228891b vmlinux-wo-frozen

Patch 1: I think this patch fixes a real bug. Even Paul agreed during
a chat at LinuxCon. He needed an addition state to and grabbed just
one of the FROZEN ones.

Patch 2: Adds a new freeze_active() call which tells if PM is active
or not.

Patch 3, 4 and 5: Update the only users of FROZEN.

Patch 6: Is the refactoring patch from Thomas hotplug rework [1].

Patch 7: Remove all FROZEN references. It should contain only simple
changes. I did that manually. Probably some scripting could be done to
ensure the changes are more correct. This patch could be spitted and
the pieces could be applied one after the other.

Patch 8: Get rid of the definitions of FROZEN.

Patch 9: And finally update the documentation.

I starred at this code for while and compiled it for different
architectures (x86, ARM, S390, powerpc). I also tested by executing
Steven's stress-cpu-hotplug script and then do suspend-resume cycles.
Nothing exploded but that is not a real proof all is okay. So please
have a close look at the changes on the FROZEN users.

Thanks,
Daniel
