Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of timekeeping/VDSO updates:
- Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
implementation.
S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the
counter read function when time namespace support is enabled.
Adding the pointer is a NOOP for all other architectures because
the compiler is supposed to optimize that out when it is unused in
the architecture specific inline. The change also solved a similar
problem for MIPS which fortunately has time namespaces not yet
enabled.
S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another
sequence counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is
to utilize the already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The
core code now exposes helper functions which allow to serialize
against the timekeeper code and against concurrent readers.
S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It
now has an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which
defaults to an empty struct.
Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support
to work from a common upstream base.

Pull more timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of posix CPU timer changes which allows to defer the heavy work
of posix CPU timers into task work context. The tick interrupt is
reduced to a quick check which queues the work which is doing the
heavy lifting before returning to user space or going back to guest
mode. Moving this out is deferring the signal delivery slightly but
posix CPU timers are inaccurate by nature as they depend on the tick
so there is no real damage. The relevant test cases all passed.
This lifts the last offender for RT out of the hard interrupt context
tick handler, but it also has the general benefit that the actual
heavy work is accounted to the task/process and not to the tick
interrupt itself.
Further optimizations are possible to break long sighand lock hold and
interrupt disabled (on !RT kernels) times when a massive amount of
posix CPU timers (which are unpriviledged) is armed for a
task/process.
This is currently only enabled for x86 because the architecture has to
ensure that task work is handled in KVM before entering a guest, which
was just established for x86 with the new common entry/exit code which
got merged post 5.8 and is not the case for other KVM architectures"

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in
various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to
validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict
per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep
cannot validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored
and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that
the lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API
is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help
of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has
been moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs
which have been addressed already independent of this.
While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if
the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to
the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by
storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the
seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a
reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section.
- Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and
initializers"

Running posix CPU timers in hard interrupt context has a few downsides:
- For PREEMPT_RT it cannot work as the expiry code needs to take
sighand lock, which is a 'sleeping spinlock' in RT. The original RT
approach of offloading the posix CPU timer handling into a high
priority thread was clumsy and provided no real benefit in general.
- For fine grained accounting it's just wrong to run this in context of
the timer interrupt because that way a process specific CPU time is
accounted to the timer interrupt.
- Long running timer interrupts caused by a large amount of expiring
timers which can be created and armed by unpriviledged user space.
There is no hard requirement to expire them in interrupt context.
If the signal is targeted at the task itself then it won't be delivered
before the task returns to user space anyway. If the signal is targeted at
a supervisor process then it might be slightly delayed, but posix CPU
timers are inaccurate anyway due to the fact that they are tied to the
tick.
Provide infrastructure to schedule task work which allows splitting the
posix CPU timer code into a quick check in interrupt context and a thread
context expiry and signal delivery function. This has to be enabled by
architectures as it requires that the architecture specific KVM
implementation handles pending task work before exiting to guest mode.

Architectures can have the requirement to add additional architecture
specific data to the VDSO data page which needs to be updated independent
of the timekeeper updates.
To protect these updates vs. concurrent readers and a conflicting update
through timekeeping, provide helper functions to make such updates safe.
vdso_update_begin() takes the timekeeper_lock to protect against a
potential update from timekeeper code and increments the VDSO sequence
count to signal data inconsistency to concurrent readers. vdso_update_end()
makes the sequence count even again to signal data consistency and drops
the timekeeper lock.

Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to add the missing support for attaching to
time namespaces via pidfds.
Last cycle setns() was changed to support attaching to multiple
namespaces atomically. This requires all namespaces to have a point of
no return where they can't fail anymore.
Specifically, <namespace-type>_install() is allowed to perform
permission checks and install the namespace into the new struct nsset
that it has been given but it is not allowed to make visible changes
to the affected task. Once <namespace-type>_install() returns,
anything that the given namespace type additionally requires to be
setup needs to ideally be done in a function that can't fail or if it
fails the failure must be non-fatal.
For time namespaces the relevant functions that fell into this
category were timens_set_vvar_page() and vdso_join_timens(). The
latter could still fail although it didn't need to. This function is
only implemented for vdso_join_timens() in current mainline. As
discussed on-list (cf. [1]), in order to make setns() support time
namespaces when attaching to multiple namespaces at once properly we
changed vdso_join_timens() to always succeed. So vdso_join_timens()
replaces the mmap_write_lock_killable() with mmap_read_lock().
Please note that arm is about to grow vdso support for time namespaces
(possibly this merge window). We've synced on this change and arm64
also uses mmap_read_lock(), i.e. makes vdso_join_timens() a function
that can't fail. Once the changes here and the arm64 changes have
landed, vdso_join_timens() should be turned into a void function so
it's obvious to callers and implementers on other architectures that
the expectation is that it can't fail.
We didn't do this right away because it would've introduced
unnecessary merge conflicts between the two trees for no major gain.
As always, tests included"

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.
Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
translation series from Lorenzo.
The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.
Summary:
- Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
provide LOAD -> LOAD/STORE ordering.
This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
to convert LOAD -> LOAD address dependencies into control
dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
LPC.
- Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.
- arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).
- Time namespace support for arm64.
- Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
makedumpfile and crash utilities.
- CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
(overlapping bit-fields).
- ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
and kernel memory.
- perf updates for arm64.
- Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.
- Trivial typos, duplicate words"

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.
Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.
In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state. For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

The nohz tick code recalculates the timer wheel's next expiry on each idle
loop iteration.
On the other hand, the base next expiry is now always cached and updated
upon timer enqueue and execution. Only timer dequeue may leave
base->next_expiry out of date (but then its stale value won't ever go past
the actual next expiry to be recalculated).
Since recalculating the next_expiry isn't a free operation, especially when
the last wheel level is reached to find out that no timer has been enqueued
at all, reuse the next expiry cache when it is known to be reliable, which
it is most of the time.

timer softirqs can be skipped until there are timers to expire.
