Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change in this cycle is the rewrite of the main SMP load
  balancing metric: the CPU load/utilization.  The main goal was to make
  the metric more precise and more representative - see the changelog of
  this commit for the gory details:

    9d89c257df ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")

  It is done in a way that significantly reduces complexity of the code:

    5 files changed, 249 insertions(+), 494 deletions(-)

  and the performance testing results are encouraging.  Nevertheless we
  need to keep an eye on potential regressions, since this potentially
  affects every SMP workload in existence.

  This work comes from Yuyang Du.

25834c73f9 sched: Fix a race between __kthread_bind() and sched_setaffinity()
Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:

	__kthread_bind()
	  do_set_cpus_allowed()
						<SYSCALL>
						  sched_setaffinity()
						    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
						    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
	  p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.

This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

1dadafa86a workqueue: Make flush_workqueue() available again to non GPL modules
Commit 37b1ef31a5 ("workqueue: move
flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h") moved the exported non GPL
flush_scheduled_work() from a function to an inline wrapper.
Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function.
This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function
and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules.

See commit ad7b1f841f ("workqueue: Make
schedule_work() available again to non GPL modules") for precedent.

d4d3e25797 workqueue: ensure attrs changes are properly synchronized
Current modification to attrs via sysfs is not fully synchronized.

Process A (change cpumask)      | Process B (change numa affinity)
wq_cpumask_store()              |
  wq_sysfs_prep_attrs()         |
                                | apply_workqueue_attrs()
  apply_workqueue_attrs()       |

It results that the Process B's operation is totally reverted
without any notification, it is a buggy behavior.  So this patch
moves wq_sysfs_prep_attrs() into the protection under wq_pool_mutex
to ensure attrs changes are properly synchronized.

a0111cf671 workqueue: separate out and refactor the locking of applying attrs
Applying attrs requires two locks: get_online_cpus() and wq_pool_mutex,
and this code is duplicated at two places (apply_workqueue_attrs() and
workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask()).  So we separate out this locking
code into apply_wqattrs_[un]lock() and do a minor refactor on
apply_workqueue_attrs().

The apply_wqattrs_[un]lock() will be also used on later patch for
ensuring attrs changes are properly synchronized.

f7142ed483 workqueue: simplify wq_update_unbound_numa()
wq_update_unbound_numa() is known be called with wq_pool_mutex held.

But wq_update_unbound_numa() requests wq->mutex before reading
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq.  But these fields
were changed to be allowed being read with wq_pool_mutex held.  So we
simply remove the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex).

Without the dependence on the the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex), the test
of wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa can also be moved upward.

The old code need a long comment to describe the stableness of
@wq->unbound_attrs which is also guaranteed by wq_pool_mutex now,
so we don't need this such comment.

5b95e1af8d workqueue: wq_pool_mutex protects the attrs-installation
Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results
that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed
under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa()
has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa
and the old_pwq.

attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any
latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex.

The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(),
so this patch touches code less than comments.

It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with
only wq_pool_mutex held.

042f7df15a workqueue: Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask
Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through
sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list
and calling apply_wqattrs_prepare() on the unbound workqueues
with the new low level mask. Only after all the preparation are done,
we commit them all together.

Ordered workqueues are ignored from the low level unbound workqueue
cpumask, it will be handled in near future.

All the (default & per-node) pwqs are mandatorily controlled by
the low level cpumask. If the user configured cpumask doesn't overlap
with the low level cpumask, the low level cpumask will be used for the
wq instead.

The comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask() is updated and explicitly
requires that its first argument should be the attrs of the default
pwq.

The default wq_unbound_cpumask is cpu_possible_mask.  The workqueue
subsystem doesn't know its best default value, let the system manager
or the other subsystem set it when needed.

Changed from V8:
  merge the calculating code for the attrs of the default pwq together.
  minor change the code&comments for saving the user configured attrs.
  remove unnecessary list_del().
  minor update the comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask().
  update the comment of workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask();

b05a79280b workqueue: Create low-level unbound workqueues cpumask
Create a cpumask that limits the affinity of all unbound workqueues.
This cpumask is controlled through a file at the root of the workqueue
sysfs directory.

It works on a lower-level than the per WQ_SYSFS workqueues cpumask files
such that the effective cpumask applied for a given unbound workqueue is
the intersection of /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/$WORKQUEUE/cpumask and
the new /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask file.

This patch implements the basic infrastructure and the read interface.
wq_unbound_cpumask is initially set to cpu_possible_mask.

2d5f0764b5 workqueue: split apply_workqueue_attrs() into 3 stages
Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation,
so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't
ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit.

To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages.
The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs.
The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation.
The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs.

As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can
succeed or fail as a complete unit:
	1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues
	2) only commit all when all the above succeed.

This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level
unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs().

The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment:
	1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the
	   heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path
	   is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code.
	2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex.
	   this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting.

tj: minor updates to comments.

6ba94429c8 workqueue: Reorder sysfs code
The sysfs code usually belongs to the botom of the file since it deals
with high level objects. In the workqueue code it's misplaced and such
that we'll need to work around functions references to allow the sysfs
code to call APIs like apply_workqueue_attrs().

Lets move that block further in the file, almost the botom.

And declare workqueue_sysfs_unregister() just before destroy_workqueue()
which reference it.

tj: Moved workqueue_sysfs_unregister() forward declaration where other
    forward declarations are.

3494fc3084 workqueue: dump workqueues on sysrq-t
Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes
it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility
into its inner workings is fairly limited.  Although sysrq-t task dump
annotates each active worker task with the information on the work
item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items
are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being
managed.

This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy
workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler.  At the
end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed.

 Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
 ...
 workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0
   pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
     in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn
   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
     in-flight: 501:filler_workfn
     pending: filler_workfn
 ...
 workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8
   pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
     in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500)
     delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2
 ...
 pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137
 pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469
 pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16
 pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62

The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510
which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500
waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work().  As test_wq has
max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and
test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is
finished.  In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1().

The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2
which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1.  The pool has
three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for
filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to
create more workers.

This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs
involving workqueues.

v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting.

v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(),
    printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now
    uses cpulist_pr_cont().

e2dca7adff workqueue: make the workqueues list RCU walkable
The workqueues list is protected by wq_pool_mutex and a workqueue and
its subordinate data structures are freed directly on destruction.  We
want to add the ability dump workqueues from a sysrq callback which
requires walking all workqueues without grabbing wq_pool_mutex.  This
patch makes freeing of workqueues RCU protected and makes the
workqueues list walkable while holding RCU read lock.

Note that pool_workqueues and pools are already sched-RCU protected.
For consistency, workqueues are also protected with sched-RCU.

While at it, reverse the workqueues list so that a workqueue which is
created earlier comes before.  The order of the list isn't significant
functionally but this makes the planned sysrq dump list system
workqueues first.

8603e1b300 workqueue: fix hang involving racing cancel[_delayed]_work_sync()'s for PREEMPT_NONE
cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using
__cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using
try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set
to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing
itself.

try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking
except when someone else is doing the above flushing during
cancelation.  In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT.  In
this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work().  The
assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other
canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same
condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive
busy looping

Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the
latter task has real time priority.  Let's say task A just got woken
up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item.  If,
before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes
__cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending()
will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A
and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item
is no longer executing.  This puts task B in a busy loop possibly
preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on
the work item leading to a hang.

task A			task B			worker

						executing work
__cancel_work_timer()
  try_to_grab_pending()
  set work CANCELING
  flush_work()
    block for work completion
						completion, wakes up A
			__cancel_work_timer()
			while (forever) {
			  try_to_grab_pending()
			    -ENOENT as work is being canceled
			  flush_work()
			    false as work is no longer executing
			}

This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer()
to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking
flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

v3: bit_waitqueue() can't be used for work items defined in vmalloc
    area.  Switched to custom wake function which matches the target
    work item and exclusive wait and wakeup.

v2: v1 used wake_up() on bit_waitqueue() which leads to NULL deref if
    the target bit waitqueue has wait_bit_queue's on it.  Use
    DEFINE_WAIT_BIT() and __wake_up_bit() instead.  Reported by Tomeu
    Vizoso.
