Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update from the timer departement contains:
- A series of patches which address a shortcoming in the tick
broadcast code.
If the broadcast device is not available or an hrtimer emulated
broadcast device, some of the original assumptions lead to boot
failures. I rather plugged all of the corner cases instead of only
addressing the issue reported, so the change got a little larger.
Has been extensivly tested on x86 and arm.
- Get rid of the last holdouts using do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime()
- A regression fix for the imx clocksource driver
- An update to the new state callbacks mechanism for clockevents.
This is required to simplify the conversion, which will take place
in 4.3"

The "fix" in commit 0b08c5e594 ("audit: Fix check of return value of
strnlen_user()") didn't fix anything, it broke things. As reported by
Steven Rostedt:
"Yes, strnlen_user() returns 0 on fault, but if you look at what len is
set to, than you would notice that on fault len would be -1"
because we just subtracted one from the return value. So testing
against 0 doesn't test for a fault condition, it tests against a
perfectly valid empty string.
Also fix up the usual braindamage wrt using WARN_ON() inside a
conditional - make it part of the conditional and remove the explicit
unlikely() (which is already part of the WARN_ON*() logic, exactly so
that you don't have to write unreadable code.

When a cpu goes up some architectures (e.g. x86) have to walk the irq
space to set up the vector space for the cpu. While this needs extra
protection at the architecture level we can avoid a few race
conditions by preventing the concurrent allocation/free of irq
descriptors and the associated data.
When a cpu goes down it moves the interrupts which are targeted to
this cpu away by reassigning the affinities. While this happens
interrupts can be allocated and freed, which opens a can of race
conditions in the code which reassignes the affinities because
interrupt descriptors might be freed underneath.
Example:
CPU1 CPU2
cpu_up/down
irq_desc = irq_to_desc(irq);
remove_from_radix_tree(desc);
raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock);
free(desc);
We could protect the irq descriptors with RCU, but that would require
a full tree change of all accesses to interrupt descriptors. But
fortunately these kind of race conditions are rather limited to a few
things like cpu hotplug. The normal setup/teardown is very well
serialized. So the simpler and obvious solution is:
Prevent allocation and freeing of interrupt descriptors accross cpu
hotplug.

Andriy reported that on a virtual machine the warning about negative
expiry time in the clock events programming code triggered:
hpet: hpet0 irq 40 for MSI
hpet: hpet1 irq 41 for MSI
Switching to clocksource hpet
WARNING: at kernel/time/clockevents.c:239
[<ffffffff810ce6eb>] clockevents_program_event+0xdb/0xf0
[<ffffffff810cf211>] tick_handle_periodic_broadcast+0x41/0x50
[<ffffffff81016525>] timer_interrupt+0x15/0x20
When the second hpet is installed as a per cpu timer the broadcast
event is not longer required and stopped, which sets the next_evt of
the broadcast device to KTIME_MAX.
If after that a spurious interrupt happens on the broadcast device,
then the current code blindly handles it and tries to reprogram the
broadcast device afterwards, which adds the period to
next_evt. KTIME_MAX + period results in a negative expiry value
causing the WARN_ON in the clockevents code to trigger.
Add a proper check for the state of the broadcast device into the
interrupt handler and return if the interrupt is spurious.

Currently the broadcast busy check, which prevents the idle code from
going into deep idle, works only in one shot mode.
If NOHZ and HIGHRES are off (config or command line) there is no
sanity check at all, so under certain conditions cpus are allowed to
go into deep idle, where the local timer stops, and are not woken up
again because there is no broadcast timer installed or a hrtimer based
broadcast device is not evaluated.
Move tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() into the common code and provide
proper subfunctions for the various config combinations.
The common check in tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() is for the C3STOP
misfeature flag of the local clock event device. If its not set, idle
can proceed. If set, further checks are necessary.
Provide checks for the trivial cases:
- If broadcast is disabled in the config, then return busy
- If oneshot mode (NOHZ/HIGHES) is disabled in the config, return
busy if the broadcast device is hrtimer based.
- If oneshot mode is enabled in the config call the original
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() function. That function needs
extra checks which will be implemented in seperate patches.

Its mandatory for the drivers to provide set_state_{oneshot|periodic}()
(only if related modes are supported) and set_state_shutdown() callbacks
today, if they are implementing the new set-state interface.
But this leads to unnecessary noop callbacks for drivers which don't
want to implement them. Over that, it will lead to a full function call
for nothing really useful.
Lets make all set-state callbacks optional.

sched/stat: Simplify the sched_info accounting dependency
Commit 44dba3d5d6 ("sched: Refactor task_struct to use
numa_faults instead of numa_* pointers") modified the way
tsk->numa_faults stats are accounted.
However that commit never touched show_numa_stats() that is displayed
in /proc/pid/sched and thus the numbers displayed in /proc/pid/sched
don't match the actual numbers.
Fix it by making sure that /proc/pid/sched reflects the task
fault numbers. Also add group fault stats too.
Also couple of more modifications are added here:
1. Format changes:
- Previously we would list two entries per node, one for private
and one for shared. Also the home node info was listed in each entry.
- Now preferred node, total_faults and current node are
displayed separately.
- Now there is one entry per node, that lists private,shared task and
group faults.
2. Unit changes:
- p->numa_pages_migrated was getting reset after every read of
/proc/pid/sched. It's more useful to have absolute numbers since
differential migrations between two accesses can be more easily
calculated.

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.
Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.
There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems
mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree
directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories
for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container
projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.
This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime,
read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
attributes remains for another time.
This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of
/proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
converted) and is not now actively wrong.
There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
I will mention briefly.
It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user
namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly
so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
performance part of pathname resolution.
As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
they are recognized"
