When looking for a task to be idle-pulled, don't consider tasks
where the affinity does not allow that task to be placed on the
target CPU. Also ensure that tasks with restricted affinity
do not block selecting other unrestricted busy tasks.
Use the knowledge of target CPU more effectively in idle pull
by passing to hmp_get_heaviest_task when we know it, otherwise
only checking for general affinity matches with any of the CPUs
in the bigger HMP domain.
We still need to explicitly check affinity is allowed in idle pull
since if we find no match in hmp_get_heaviest_task we will return
the current one, which may not be affine to the new CPU despite
having high enough load. In this case, there is nothing to move.

When a normal forced up-migration takes place we stop the task to
be migrated while the target CPU becomes available. This delay can
range from 80us to 1500us on TC2 if the target CPU is in a deep idle
state.
Instead, interrupt the target CPU and ask it to pull a task.
This lets the current eligible task continue executing on the
original CPU while the target CPU wakes. Use a pinned timer to
prevent the pulling CPU going back into power-down with pending
up-migrations.
If we trigger for a nohz kick, it doesn't matter about triggering
for an idle pull since the idle_pull flag will be set when we
execute the softirq and we'll still do the idle pull.
If the target CPU is busy, we will not pull any tasks.

The HMP active migration code is functionally identical to the CFS
active migration code apart from one flag check. Share the code
and make the flag check optional.
Two wrapper functions allow the flag check to be present or not.
Thanks to tixy@linaro.org for pointing out the build break and a
good solution in an earlier version.

In anticipation of modifying the up_threshold handling, make all
instances use the same utility fn to check if a task is eligible
for up-migration. This also removes the previous difference in
threshold comparison where up-migration used '!<threshold' and
idle pull used '>threshold' to decide up-migration eligibility.
Make them both use '!<threshold' instead for consistency, although
this is unlikely to change any results.

All platforms other than TC2 default to enabling packing. Since TC2
shows no performance or energy degradation with this feature enabled
make it default enabled the same as everyone else.
Likewise, vendors have been including TC2 support in multi-machine
kernel builds so they expect the default thresholds to remain the
same when the TC2 #ifdef is removed.

commit 80df284765 upstream.
As sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec is unsigned long, when this value is
larger then LONG_MAX/HZ, the function schedule_timeout_interruptible in
watchdog will return immediately without sleep and with print :
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83
and then the funtion watchdog will call schedule_timeout_interruptible
again and again. The screen will be filled with
"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83"
This patch does some check and correction in sysctl, to let the function
schedule_timeout_interruptible allways get the valid parameter.

Commit 8aac62706a ("move exit_task_namespaces() outside of
exit_notify()") breaks pppd and the exiting service crashes the kernel:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
IP: ppp_register_channel+0x13/0x20 [ppp_generic]
Call Trace:

ppp_register_channel() needs ->net_ns and current->nsproxy == NULL.
Move disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces(), it doesn't make
sense to delay it after perf_event_exit_task() or cgroup_exit().
This also allows to use task_work_add() inside the (nontrivial) code
paths in disassociate_ctty().

commit dfccbb5e49 upstream.
wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and
drops tasklist_lock. If this task is not the natural child and it is
traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent.
The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d25748
"ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE
race". wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear
->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can
exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE.
And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition
can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if
EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else. So
the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if
/sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable.
Change reparent_leader() to update ->exit_signal even if EXIT_DEAD.
Note: this is the simple temporary hack for -stable, it doesn't try to
solve all problems, it will be reverted by the next changes.

pidns_get()->get_pid_ns() can hit ns == NULL. This task_struct can't
go away, but task_active_pid_ns(task) is NULL if release_task(task)
was already called. Alternatively we could change get_pid_ns(ns) to
check ns != NULL, but it seems that other callers are fine.

commit e79323bd87 upstream.
smp_read_barrier_depends() can be used if there is data dependency between
the readers - i.e. if the read operation after the barrier uses address
that was obtained from the read operation before the barrier.
In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the
use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the
following way:
* the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the
body of the for loop
* the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count
* the cpu fetches map->nr_extents
* the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the
instructions in the body of the for loop
The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first
and map->nr_extents in the wrong order. We need a full read memory barrier
to prevent it.

Second argument is similar to PR_SET_TIMERSLACK, if non-zero then the
slack is set to that value otherwise sets it to the default for the thread.
Takes PID of the thread as the third argument.
This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for
other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the
thread is designated foreground vs. background activity)
