 "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
  to speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module
  lock doing that too.

  A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
  breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
  another module (yeah, really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual
  suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
  appended too"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:

   - Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel

   - Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
     disabled at runtime.

   - Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
     offset updates smarter

   - hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
     problems in sched/perf

   - Some more leap second tweaks

   - Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem

   - First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
     introducing the necessary infrastructure

   - Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()

   - The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates

  The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
  depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
  and redundant code, which got copied all over the place.  The y2038
  changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to
  boot/persistant clock"

0a04b01669 rcu: Move lockless_dereference() out of rcupdate.h
I want to use lockless_dereference() from seqlock.h, which would mean
including rcupdate.h from it, however rcupdate.h already includes
seqlock.h.

Avoid this by moving lockless_dereference() into compiler.h. This is
somewhat tricky since it uses smp_read_barrier_depends() which isn't
available there, but its a CPP macro so we can get away with it.

The alternative would be moving it into asm/barrier.h, but that would
be updating each arch (I can do if people feel that is more
appropriate).

51952bc633 rcu: Further shrink Tiny RCU by making empty functions static inlines
The Tiny RCU counterparts to rcu_idle_enter(), rcu_idle_exit(),
rcu_irq_enter(), and rcu_irq_exit() are empty functions, but each has
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which needlessly consumes extra memory, especially
in kernels built with module support.  This commit therefore moves these
functions to static inlines in rcutiny.h, removing the need for exports.

This won't affect the size of the tiniest kernels, which are likely
built without module support, but might help semi-tiny kernels that
might include module support.

1ebee8017d rcu: Eliminate array-index-based RCU primitives
Now that rcu_access_index() and rcu_dereference_index_check() are no
longer used, the commit removes them from the RCU API.  This means that
RCU's data dependencies now involve only pointers, give or take the
occasional cast to and then back from an integer type to do pointer
arithmetic.  This in turn eliminates the need for a number of operations
on values carrying RCU data dependencies.

c1ad348b45 tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluation
The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies
while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to
convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's
just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases.

Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the
rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on
nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending
clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX.

Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the
nohz code.

88428cc5c2 rcu: Handle outgoing CPUs on exit from idle loop
This commit informs RCU of an outgoing CPU just before that CPU invokes
arch_cpu_idle_dead() during its last pass through the idle loop (via a
new CPU_DYING_IDLE notifier value).  This change means that RCU need not
deal with outgoing CPUs passing through the scheduler after informing
RCU that they are no longer online.  Note that removing the CPU from
the rcu_node ->qsmaskinit bit masks is done at CPU_DYING_IDLE time,
and orphaning callbacks is still done at CPU_DEAD time, the reason being
that at CPU_DEAD time we have another CPU that can adopt them.

b826565aaf rcu: Reverse rcu_dereference_check() conditions
The rcu_dereference_check() family of primitives evaluates the RCU
lockdep expression first, and only then evaluates the expression passed
in.  This works fine normally, but can potentially fail in environments
(such as NMI handlers) where lockdep cannot be invoked.  The problem is
that even if the expression passed in is "1", the compiler would need to
prove that the RCU lockdep expression (rcu_read_lock_held(), for example)
is free of side effects in order to be able to elide it.  Given that
rcu_read_lock_held() is sometimes separately compiled, the compiler cannot
always use this optimization.

This commit therefore reverse the order of evaluation, so that the
expression passed in is evaluated first, and the RCU lockdep expression is
evaluated only if the passed-in expression evaluated to false, courtesy
of the C-language short-circuit boolean evaluation rules.  This compells
the compiler to forego executing the RCU lockdep expression in cases
where the passed-in expression evaluates to "1" at compile time, so that
(for example) rcu_dereference_raw() can be guaranteed to execute safely
within an NMI handler.

d24209bb68 rcu: Improve diagnostics for blocked critical sections in irq
If an RCU read-side critical section occurs within an interrupt handler
or a softirq handler, it cannot have been preempted.  Therefore, there is
a check in rcu_read_unlock_special() checking for this error.  However,
when this check triggers, it lacks diagnostic information.  This commit
therefore moves rcu_read_unlock()'s lockdep annotation to follow the
call to __rcu_read_unlock() and changes rcu_read_unlock_special()'s
WARN_ON_ONCE() to an lockdep_rcu_suspicious() in order to locate where
the offending RCU read-side critical section began.  In addition, the
value of the ->rcu_read_unlock_special field is printed.

ee42571f43 rcu: Add Kconfig option to expedite grace periods during boot
This commit adds a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter
that emulates a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp().  A late-boot
call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() will provide the corresponding
rcu_unexpedite_gp().  The late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot()
should be made just before init is spawned.

According to Arjan:

> line, that's pretty much the last thing we print prior to ring 3 execution.

> A kernel with default RCU behavior (inside KVM, only virtual devices)

0d39482c3d rcu: Provide rcu_expedite_gp() and rcu_unexpedite_gp()
Currently, expediting of normal synchronous grace-period primitives
(synchronize_rcu() and friends) is controlled by the rcu_expedited()
boot/sysfs parameter.  This works well, but does not handle nesting.
This commit therefore provides rcu_expedite_gp() to enable expediting
and rcu_unexpedite_gp() to cancel a prior rcu_expedite_gp(), both of
which support nesting.

5cd37193ce rcu: Make cond_resched_rcu_qs() apply to normal RCU flavors
Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used
in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU
flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh.  This is especially the
case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly
those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running
NO_HZ_FULL CPUs.  This commit therefore communicates quiescent states
from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors.

Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce
mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one
flavor to be recorded.  (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in
that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.)
In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this
will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight
quiescent state visible from other CPUs.

ce36f2f3eb rcu: More info about potential deadlocks with rcu_read_unlock()
The comment above rcu_read_unlock() explains the potential deadlock
if the caller holds one of the locks taken by rt_mutex_unlock() paths,
but it is not clear from this documentation that any lock which can
be taken from interrupt can lead to deadlock as well and we need to
take rt_mutex_lock() into account too.

The problem is that rt_mutex_lock() takes wait_lock without disabling
irqs, and thus an interrupt taking some LOCK can obviously race with
rcu_read_unlock_special() called with the same LOCK held.

b6331ae8af rcu: Optimize cond_resched_rcu_qs()
The current implementation of cond_resched_rcu_qs() can invoke
rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() twice in the should_resched()
case, once via the call to __schedule() and once directly.  However, as
noted by Joe Lawrence in a patch to the team subsystem, cond_resched()
returns an indication as to whether or not the call to __schedule()
actually happened.  This commit therefore changes cond_resched_rcu_qs()
so as to invoke rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() only when __schedule()
was not called.
