Peter Zijlstra 5eca82a9ac sched/numa: Cure update_numa_stats() vs. hotplug
Because we're completely unserialized against hotplug its well
possible to try and generate numa stats for an offlined node.

Bail out early (and avoid a /0) in this case. The resulting stats are
all 0 which should result in an undesirable balance target -- not to
mention that actually trying to migrate to an offline CPU will fail.

Rik van Riel 46a73e8a1c sched/numa: Fix NULL pointer dereference in task_numa_migrate()
The cpusets code can split up the scheduler's domain tree into
smaller domains.  Some of those smaller domains may not cross
NUMA nodes at all, leading to a NULL pointer dereference on the
per-cpu sd_numa pointer.

Tasks cannot be migrated out of their domain, so the patch
also sets p->numa_preferred_nid to whereever they are, to
prevent the migration from being retried over and over again.

Michael wang 106dd5afde sched: Fix endless sync_sched/rcu() loop inside _cpu_down()
Commit 6acce3ef8:

	sched: Remove get_online_cpus() usage

tries to do sync_sched/rcu() inside _cpu_down() but triggers:

	INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
	...
	[<ffffffff811263dc>] synchronize_rcu+0x2c/0x30
	[<ffffffff81d1bd82>] _cpu_down+0x2b2/0x340
	...

It was caused by that in the rcu boost case we rely on smpboot thread to
finish the rcu callback, which has already been parked before sync in here
and leads to the endless sync_sched/rcu().

This patch exchanges the sequence of smpboot_park_threads() and
sync_sched/rcu() to fix the bug.

 "As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling
  has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for
  you to build perf via:

        cd tools/perf/
        make install

  (ie without the -j option.) The build system will figure out the
  number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install.

  The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported
  against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please
  (re-)report any remaining annoyances or bugs.

      . x86 NMI call-stack processing optimizations,  by Peter Zijlstra

      . x86 Intel PEBS processing speedups,           by Peter Zijlstra

   * Enhanced hardware support:

      . for Haswell transactions,                     by Andi Kleen, Peter Zijlstra

   * Core perf events code enhancements and fixes by Oleg Nesterov:
      . for uprobes, if fork() is called with pending ret-probes
      . for uprobes platform support code

   * New ABI details by Andi Kleen:
      . Report x86 Haswell TSX transaction abort cost as weight

  Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
  utilize the above kernel side changes):

   * 'perf report/top' enhancements:

      . Convert callchain children list to rbtree, greatly reducing the
        time taken for callchain processing, from Namhyung Kim.

      . Add new COMM infrastructure, further improving histogram
        processing, from Frédéric Weisbecker, one fix from Namhyung Kim.

      . Add /proc/kcore based live-annotation improvements, including
        build-id cache support, multi map 'call' instruction navigation
        fixes, kcore address validation, objdump workarounds.  From
        Adrian Hunter.

      . Show progress on histogram collapsing, that can take a long
        time, from Namhyung Kim.

      . Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan in 'top'
        and 'report', improving callchain processing when reducing the
        stack depth is an option, from Waiman Long.

      . Add new option --ignore-vmlinux for perf top, from Willy
        Tarreau.

   * 'perf trace' enhancements:

      . 'perf trace' now can can use a 'perf probe' dynamic tracepoints
        to hook into the userspace -> kernel pathname copy so that it
        can map fds to pathnames without reading /proc/pid/fd/ symlinks.
        From Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

      . Show VFS path associated with fd in live sessions, using a
        'vfs_getname' 'perf probe' created dynamic tracepoint or by
        looking at /proc/pid/fd, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

      . Add 'trace' beautifiers for lots of syscall arguments, from
        Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

      . Implement more compact 'trace' output by suppressing zeroed
        args, from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

      . Show thread COMM by default in 'trace', from Arnaldo Carvalho de
        Melo.

      . Add option to show full timestamp in 'trace', from David Ahern.

      . Add 'record' command in 'trace', to record raw_syscalls:*, from
        David Ahern.

      . Add summary option to dump syscall statistics in 'trace', from
        David Ahern.

      . Improve error messages in 'trace', providing hints about system

        Ramachandra.

      . 'perf trace' now emits hints as to why tracing is not possible,
        helping the user to setup the system to allow tracing in the
        desired permission granularity, telling if the problem is due to
        debugfs not being mounted or with not enough permission for
        !root, /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoit value, etc.  From
        Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

      . Show error in 'perf list' if tracepoints not available, from
        Pekka Enberg.

   * 'perf probe' enhancements:

      . Support "$vars" meta argument syntax for local variables,
        allowing asking for all possible variables at a given probe
        point to be collected when it hits, from Masami Hiramatsu.

   * 'perf sched' enhancements:

      . Address the root cause of that 'perf sched' stack initialization
        build slowdown, by programmatically setting a big array after
        moving the global variable back to the stack.  Fix from Adrian
        Hunter.

   * 'perf script' enhancements:

      . Set up output options for in-stream attributes, from Adrian

        and 'perf test', from Adrian Hunter.

      . Clarify the "sample parsing" test entry, from Arnaldo Carvalho
        de Melo.

      . Consider PERF_SAMPLE_TRANSACTION in the "sample parsing" test,
        from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

      . Memory leak fixes in 'perf test', from Felipe Pena.

   * 'perf bench' enhancements:

      . Change the procps visible command-name of invididual benchmark
        tests plus cleanups, from Ingo Molnar.

   * Generic perf tooling infrastructure/plumbing changes:

      . Separating data file properties from session, code
        reorganization from Jiri Olsa.

      . Fix version when building out of tree, as when using one of
        these:

        $ make help | grep perf
          perf-tar-src-pkg    - Build perf-3.12.0.tar source tarball
          perf-targz-src-pkg  - Build perf-3.12.0.tar.gz source tarball
          perf-tarbz2-src-pkg - Build perf-3.12.0.tar.bz2 source tarball

        $

        from David Ahern.

      . Enhance option parse error message, showing just the help lines
        of the options affected, from Namhyung Kim.

      . libtraceevent updates from upstream trace-cmd repo, from Steven
        Rostedt.

      . Always use perf_evsel__set_sample_bit to set sample_type, from
        Adrian Hunter.

      . Memory and mmap leak fixes from Chenggang Qin.

      . Assorted build fixes for from David Ahern and Jiri Olsa.

      . Speed up and prettify the build system, from Ingo Molnar.

      . Implement addr2line directly using libbfd, from Roberto Vitillo.

      . Separate the GTK support in a separate libperf-gtk.so DSO, that
        is only loaded when --gtk is specified, from Namhyung Kim.

      . perf bash completion fixes and improvements from Ramkumar
        Ramachandra.

      . Support for Openembedded/Yocto -dbg packages, from Ricardo
        Ribalda Delgado.

  And lots and lots of other fixes and code reorganizations that did not
  make it into the list, see the shortlog, diffstat and the Git log for
  details!"

Linus Torvalds 70fdcb83db Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main RCU changes in this cycle are:

   - Idle entry/exit changes, to throttle callback execution and other
     refinements to speed up kbuild, primarily to address performance
     issues located by Tibor Billes.

   - Grace-period related changes, primarily to aid in debugging,
     inspired by an -rt debugging session.

   - Code reorganization moving RCU's source files into its own
     kernel/rcu/ directory.

   - RCU documentation updates

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

  Note, the following commit:

    5c889690aa mm: Place preemption point in do_mlockall() loop

  is identical to the commit already in your tree via email:
