[merged] sched-proc-sched_debug-fails-on-very-very-large-machines.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: sched: /proc/sched_debug fails on very very large machines
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     sched-proc-sched_debug-fails-on-very-very-large-machines.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Nathan Zimmer <nzimmer@sgi.com>
Subject: sched: /proc/sched_debug fails on very very large machines

On systems with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/sched_debug fails.  We
are trying to push all the data into a single kmalloc buffer.  The issue
is on these very large machines all the data will not fit in 4mb.

A better solution is to not us the single_open mechanism but to provide
our own seq_operations and treat each cpu as an individual record.

The output should be identical to previous version.
