2d926c15d6 hrtimer: Fix incorrect tai offset calculation for non high-res timer systems
I noticed some CLOCK_TAI timer test failures on one of my
less-frequently used configurations. And after digging in I
found in 76f4108892 (Cleanup hrtimer accessors to the
timekepeing state), the hrtimer_get_softirq_time tai offset
calucation was incorrectly rewritten, as the tai offset we
return shold be from CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and not CLOCK_REALTIME.

This results in CLOCK_TAI timers expiring early on non-highres
capable machines.

This patch fixes the issue, calculating the tai time properly
from the monotonic base.

40767b0dc7 sched/deadline: Fix deadline parameter modification handling
Commit 67dfa1b756 ("sched/deadline: Implement cancel_dl_timer() to
use in switched_from_dl()") removed the hrtimer_try_cancel() function
call out from init_dl_task_timer(), which gets called from
__setparam_dl().

The result is that we can now re-init the timer while its active --
this is bad and corrupts timer state.

Furthermore; changing the parameters of an active deadline task is
tricky in that you want to maintain guarantees, while immediately
effective change would allow one to circumvent the CBS guarantees --
this too is bad, as one (bad) task should not be able to affect the
others.

Rework things to avoid both problems. We only need to initialize the
timer once, so move that to __sched_fork() for new tasks.

Then make sure __setparam_dl() doesn't affect the current running
state but only updates the parameters used to calculate the next
scheduling period -- this guarantees the CBS functions as expected
(albeit slightly pessimistic).

This however means we need to make sure __dl_clear_params() needs to
reset the active state otherwise new (and tasks flipping between
classes) will not properly (re)compute their first instance.

Todo: close class flipping CBS hole.
Todo: implement delayed BW release.

00845eb968 sched: don't cause task state changes in nested sleep debugging
Commit 8eb23b9f35 ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report
on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the
inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING,
but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it
calls schedule.

However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner
sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that
normally doesn't actually need to sleep).

And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to
TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and
working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just
sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen
every time.

In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to
basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater,
as reported by Bruno Prémont.  But there may be other legacy uses of
that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never
get converted to the new model.

This fixes both cases:

 - don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even
   if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the
   warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true.
   So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))"
   would trigger for every nested sleep.

 - in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using
   "sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used
   for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change'
   that is used for the debugging decision itself.

(Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we
avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the
suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test)

c3c87e7704 perf: Tighten (and fix) the grouping condition
The fix from 9fc81d8742 ("perf: Fix events installation during
moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that
creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically
broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled.

Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event
for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets
confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice
as well by me via the perf fuzzer.

Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow
grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context.
This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

81907478c4 sched/fair: Avoid using uninitialized variable in preferred_group_nid()
At least some gcc versions - validly afaict - warn about potentially
using max_group uninitialized: There's no way the compiler can prove
that the body of the conditional where it and max_faults get set/
updated gets executed; in fact, without knowing all the details of
other scheduler code, I can't prove this either.

Generally the necessary change would appear to be to clear max_group
prior to entering the inner loop, and break out of the outer loop when
it ends up being all clear after the inner one. This, however, seems
inefficient, and afaict the same effect can be achieved by exiting the
outer loop when max_faults is still zero after the inner loop.

[ mingo: changed the solution to zero initialization: uninitialized_var()
  needs to die, as it's an actively dangerous construct: if in the future
  a known-proven-good piece of code is changed to have a true, buggy
  uninitialized variable, the compiler warning is then supressed...

  The better long term solution is to clean up the code flow, so that
  even simple minded compilers (and humans!) are able to read it without
  getting a headache.  ]

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
 "The lifetime rules of cgroup hierarchies always have been somewhat
  counter-intuitive and cgroup core tried to enforce that hierarchies
  w/o userland-visible usages must die in finite amount of time so that
  the controllers can be reused for other hierarchies; unfortunately,
  this can't be implemented reasonably for the memory controller - the
  kmemcg part doesn't have any way to forcefully drain the existing
  usages, leading to an interruptible hang if a following mount attempts
  to use the controller in any way.

  So, it seems like we're stuck with "hierarchies live on till they die
  whenever that may be" at least for now.  This pretty much confines
  attaching controllers to hierarchies to before the hierarchies are
  actively used by making dynamic configurations post active usages
  unreliable.  This has never been reliable and should be fine in
  practice given how cgroups are used.

  After the patch, hierarchies aren't killed if it isn't already
  drained.  A following mount attempt of the same mount options will
  reuse the existing hierarchy.  Mount attempts with differing options
  will fail w/ -EBUSY"

4bee96860a smpboot: Add missing get_online_cpus() in smpboot_register_percpu_thread()
The following race exists in the smpboot percpu threads management:

CPU0	      	   	     CPU1
cpu_up(2)
  get_online_cpus();
  smpboot_create_threads(2);
			     smpboot_register_percpu_thread();
			     for_each_online_cpu();
			       __smpboot_create_thread();
  __cpu_up(2);

This results in a missing per cpu thread for the newly onlined cpu2 and
in a NULL pointer dereference on a consecutive offline of that cpu.

Proctect smpboot_register_percpu_thread() with get_online_cpus() to
prevent that.

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and removed the change in
        smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread() because that's an
        optimization and therefor not stable material. ]

Description from Michael Kerrisk.  He suggested an identical patch
to one I had already coded up and tested.

commit fe3d197f84 "x86, mpx: On-demand kernel allocation of bounds

PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT.  However, no checks were included to ensure
that unused arguments are zero, as is done in many existing prctl()s
and as should be done for all new prctl()s. This patch adds the
required checks.

3c606d35fe cgroup: prevent mount hang due to memory controller lifetime
Since b2052564e6 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from
offlined groups"), re-mounting the memory controller after using it is
very likely to hang.

The cgroup core assumes that any remaining references after deleting a
cgroup are temporary in nature, and synchroneously waits for them, but
the above-mentioned commit has left-over page cache pin its css until
it is reclaimed naturally.  That being said, swap entries and charged
kernel memory have been doing the same indefinite pinning forever, the
bug is just more likely to trigger with left-over page cache.

Reparenting kernel memory is highly impractical, which leaves changing
the cgroup assumptions to reflect this: once a controller has been
mounted and used, it has internal state that is independent from mount
and cgroup lifetime.  It can be unmounted and remounted, but it can't
be reconfigured during subsequent mounts.

Don't offline the controller root as long as there are any children,
dead or alive.  A remount will no longer wait for these old references
to drain, it will simply mount the persistent controller state again.

d5db139ab3 module: make module_refcount() a signed integer.
James Bottomley points out that it will be -1 during unload.  It's
only used for diagnostics, so let's not hide that as it could be a
clue as to what's gone wrong.

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
 "The xfs folks have been running into weird and very rare lockups for
  some time now.  I didn't think this could have been from workqueue
  side because no one else was reporting it.  This time, Eric had a
  kdump which we looked into and it turned out this actually was a
  workqueue bug and the bug has been there since the beginning of
  concurrency managed workqueue.

  A worker pool ensures forward progress of the workqueues associated
  with it by always having at least one worker reserved from executing
  work items.  When the pool is under contention, the idle one tries to
  create more workers for the pool and if that doesn't succeed quickly
  enough, it calls the rescuers to the pool.

  This logic had a subtle race condition in an early exit path.  When a
  worker invokes this manager function, the function may return %false
  indicating that the caller may proceed to executing work items either
  because another worker is already performing the role or conditions
  have changed and the pool is no longer under contention.

  The latter part depended on the assumption that whether more workers
  are necessary or not remains stable while the pool is locked; however,
  pool->nr_running (concurrency count) may change asynchronously and it
  getting bumped from zero asynchronously could send off the last idle
  worker to execute work items.

  The race window is fairly narrow, and, even when it gets triggered,
  the pool deadlocks iff if all work items get blocked on pending work
  items of the pool, which is highly unlikely but can be triggered by
  xfs.

  The patch removes the race window by removing the early exit path,
  which doesn't server any purpose anymore anyway"

c749637909 module: fix race in kallsyms resolution during module load success.
The kallsyms routines (module_symbol_name, lookup_module_* etc) disable
preemption to walk the modules rather than taking the module_mutex:
this is because they are used for symbol resolution during oopses.

This works because there are synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu()
in the unload and failure paths.  However, there's one case which doesn't
have that: the normal case where module loading succeeds, and we free
the init section.

We don't want a synchronize_rcu() there, because it would slow down
module loading: this bug was introduced in 2009 to speed module
loading in the first place.

Thus, we want to do the free in an RCU callback.  We do this in the
simplest possible way by allocating a new rcu_head: if we put it in
the module structure we'd have to worry about that getting freed.

be1f221c04 module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree().
Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.

d453cded05 module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.
Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations.  Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.

This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all.  avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.
