Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for timers:

   - Use the ALARM feature check in the alarmtimer core code insted of
     the old method of checking for the set_alarm() callback.

     Drivers can have that callback set but the feature bit cleared. If
     such a RTC device is selected then alarms wont work.

   - Use a proper define to let the preprocessor check whether Hyper-V
     VDSO clocksource should be active.

     The code used a constant in an enum with #ifdef, which evaluates to
     always false and disabled the clocksource for VDSO"

eb1f065f90 kernel/resource: fix return code check in __request_free_mem_region
Splitting an earlier version of a patch that allowed calling
__request_region() while holding the resource lock into a series of
patches required changing the return code for the newly introduced
__request_region_locked().

Unfortunately this change was not carried through to a subsequent commit
56fd94919b ("kernel/resource: fix locking in request_free_mem_region")
in the series.  This resulted in a use-after-free due to freeing the
struct resource without properly releasing it.  Fix this by correcting the
return code check so that the struct is not freed if the request to add it
was successful.

dbb5afad10 ptrace: make ptrace() fail if the tracee changed its pid unexpectedly
Suppose we have 2 threads, the group-leader L and a sub-theread T,
both parked in ptrace_stop(). Debugger tries to resume both threads
and does

	ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, T);
	ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, L);

If the sub-thread T execs in between, the 2nd PTRACE_CONT doesn not
resume the old leader L, it resumes the post-exec thread T which was
actually now stopped in PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC. In this case the
PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC event is lost, and the tracer can't know that the
tracee changed its pid.

This patch makes ptrace() fail in this case until debugger does wait()
and consumes PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC which reports old_pid. This affects all
ptrace requests except the "asynchronous" PTRACE_INTERRUPT/KILL.

The patch doesn't add the new PTRACE_ option to not complicate the API,
and I _hope_ this won't cause any noticeable regression:

	- If debugger uses PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC and the thread did an exec
	  and the tracer does a ptrace request without having consumed
	  the exec event, it's 100% sure that the thread the ptracer
	  thinks it is targeting does not exist anymore, or isn't the
	  same as the one it thinks it is targeting.

	- To some degree this patch adds nothing new. In the scenario
	  above ptrace(L) can fail with -ESRCH if it is called after the
	  execing sub-thread wakes the leader up and before it "steals"
	  the leader's pid.

Test-case:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <errno.h>
	#include <pthread.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	void *tf(void *arg)
	{
		execve("/usr/bin/true", NULL, NULL);
		assert(0);

		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int leader = fork();
		if (!leader) {
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);

			pthread_t th;
			pthread_create(&th, NULL, tf, NULL);
			for (;;)
				pause();

			return 0;
		}

		waitpid(leader, NULL, WSTOPPED);

		ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, leader, 0,
				PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE | PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC);
		waitpid(leader, NULL, 0);

		ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, leader, 0,0);
		waitpid(leader, NULL, 0);

		int status, thread = waitpid(-1, &status, 0);
		assert(thread > 0 && thread != leader);
		assert(status == 0x80137f);

		ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, thread, 0,0);
		/*
		 * waitid() because waitpid(leader, &status, WNOWAIT) does not
		 * report status. Why ????
		 *
		 * Why WEXITED? because we have another kernel problem connected
		 * to mt-exec.
		 */
		siginfo_t info;
		assert(waitid(P_PID, leader, &info, WSTOPPED|WEXITED|WNOWAIT) == 0);
		assert(info.si_pid == leader && info.si_status == 0x0405);

		/* OK, it sleeps in ptrace(PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC == 0x04) */
		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, leader, 0,0) == -1);
		assert(errno == ESRCH);

		assert(leader == waitpid(leader, &status, WNOHANG));

02dbb7246c sched/fair: Fix clearing of has_idle_cores flag in select_idle_cpu()
In commit:

  9fe1f127b9 ("sched/fair: Merge select_idle_core/cpu()")

in select_idle_cpu(), we check if an idle core is present in the LLC
of the target CPU via the flag "has_idle_cores". We look for the idle
core in select_idle_cores(). If select_idle_cores() isn't able to find
an idle core/CPU, we need to unset the has_idle_cores flag in the LLC
of the target to prevent other CPUs from going down this route.

However, the current code is unsetting it in the LLC of the current
CPU instead of the target CPU. This patch fixes this issue.

e09784a8a7 alarmtimer: Check RTC features instead of ops
RTC drivers used to leave .set_alarm() NULL in order to signal the RTC
device doesn't support alarms. The drivers are now clearing the
RTC_FEATURE_ALARM bit for that purpose in order to keep the rtc_class_ops
structure const. So now, .set_alarm() is set unconditionally and this
possibly causes the alarmtimer code to select an RTC device that doesn't
support alarms.

Test RTC_FEATURE_ALARM instead of relying on ops->set_alarm to determine
whether alarms are available.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of scheduler updates:

   - Prevent PSI state corruption when schedule() races with cgroup
     move.

     A recent commit combined two PSI callbacks to reduce the number of
     cgroup tree updates, but missed that schedule() can drop rq::lock
     for load balancing, which opens the race window for
     cgroup_move_task() which then observes half updated state.

     The fix is to solely use task::ps_flags instead of looking at the
     potentially mismatching scheduler state

   - Prevent an out-of-bounds access in uclamp caused bu a rounding
     division which can lead to an off-by-one error exceeding the
     buckets array size.

   - Prevent unfairness caused by missing load decay when a task is
     attached to a cfs runqueue.

     The old load of the task was attached to the runqueue and never
     removed. Fix it by enforcing the load update through the hierarchy
     for unthrottled run queue instances.

   - A documentation fix fot the 'sched_verbose' command line option"

bbcd53c960 drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good
Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".

Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.

Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like

a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
  -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.

b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
  -> mem_pfn_is_ram()

Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.

Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.

CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?).  All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.

1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
   basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
   /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
   RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
   serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
   to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"

2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
   kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
   deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
   pages, though)

3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
   better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
   yourself into the foot.

4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
   to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
   /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
   kernels can be used.

5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.

Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

17652f4240 modules: add CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH
Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[]
string.  This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus
effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace
writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface.  [1]

When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal
to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed
the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such
request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is
a waste of time.

This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which
made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to
make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before
attempting to invoke the userspace helper.  By eliminating all such
(known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and
the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer.

For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined
lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the
initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices
get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting
reset.

[1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when
modprobe_path is the empty string.

e7cb072eb9 init/initramfs.c: do unpacking asynchronously
Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.

These two patches are independent, but better-together.

The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g.  the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.

The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish.  Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.

There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules.  But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).

This patch (of 2):

Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed.  So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.

This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough.  By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.

Normal desktops might benefit as well.  On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:

[    0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[    1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K

Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg.  With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.

Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.

But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e.  request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs().  So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

07416af11d kernel/async.c: stop guarding pr_debug() statements
It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print
something.  Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable tons
of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition further
means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later.

Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not change,
so there are W=2 warnings

kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: `calltime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: `starttime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print their
messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"' command
line argument.  For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug() compiles to
nothing.

This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime value,
but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided by
factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk()
arguments end up being evaluated.

56fd94919b kernel/resource: fix locking in request_free_mem_region
request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory.  It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the
region.

However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by
the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region()
another thread may have already reserved the requested region.  This
results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from
hitting this condition:

        /*
         * mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
         * become unavailable to other users.  Conflicts are
         * not expected.  Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
         */
        if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
                pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
                        conflict->name, conflict, res);

These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across
the two calls.  This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior
to taking the lock.
