This patch adds event tracing to dyntick_save_progress_counter() in the case
where it returns 1. I used the tracepoint string "dti" because this function

48a7639ce8 rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread
The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue()
to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread.  This deferring
is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node
structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's
wake-up functions while holding one of these locks.

Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are
ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work
item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off.  This is OK for many
uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt
or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state
will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.
On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed.

However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked
at process level from idle CPUs.  In this case, the tick might never
be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request.
Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because
there is no RCU grace period in progress.  Therefore, we can (and do!)
see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling.  In theory,
we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date
has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls.  Event tracing demonstrates
that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during
these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is
not one of the grace-period kthreads.

In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue,
but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass
wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup
happens when the offending locks are released.

This commit therefore makes this change.  The rcu_start_gp_advanced(),
rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(),
__note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean
which indicates when a wake-up is needed.  A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes,
no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in
someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups
before the grace-period kthread has been created.

365187fbc0 rcu: Update cpu_needs_another_gp() for futures from non-NOCB CPUs
In the old days, the only source of requests for future grace periods
was NOCB CPUs.  This has changed: CPUs routinely post requests for
future grace periods in order to promote power efficiency and reduce
OS jitter with minimal impact on grace-period latency.  This commit
therefore updates cpu_needs_another_gp() to invoke rcu_future_needs_gp()
instead of rcu_nocb_needs_gp().  The latter is no longer used, so is
now removed.  This commit also adds tracing for the irq_work_queue()
wakeup case.

2aafe1a4d4 Takao Indoh reported that he was able to cause a ftrace bug while
loading a module and enabling function tracing at the same time.
 
 He uncovered a race where the module when loaded will convert the
 calls to mcount into nops, and expects the module's text to be RW.
 But when function tracing is enabled, it will convert all kernel
 text (core and module) from RO to RW to convert the nops to calls
 to ftrace to record the function. After the convertion, it will
 convert all the text back from RW to RO.
 
 The issue is, it will also convert the module's text that is loading.
 If it converts it to RO before ftrace does its conversion, it will
 cause ftrace to fail and require a reboot to fix it again.
 
 This patch moves the ftrace module update that converts calls to mcount
 into nops to be done when the module state is still MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.
 This will ignore the module when the text is being converted from
 RW back to RO.

a949ae560a ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module()
A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.

	CPU 1				CPU 2
	-----				-----
  load_module()
   module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING

				register_ftrace_function()
				 mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
				 ftrace_startup()
				  update_ftrace_function();
				   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
				    set_all_module_text_rw();
				   <enables-ftrace>
				    ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()

				[ here all module text is set to RO,
				  including the module that is
				  loading!! ]

   blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
    ftrace_init_module()

     [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
       ftrace_bug() is called]

When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.

The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.

The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

62a08ae2a5 genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflict
On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.

Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.

To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.

Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
happen above.

That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects
the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and
htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate
issue.

79465d2fd4 module: remove warning about waiting module removal.
We remove the waiting module removal in commit 3f2b9c9cdf (September
2013), but it turns out that modprobe in kmod (< version 16) was
asking for waiting module removal.  No one noticed since modprobe would
check for 0 usage immediately before trying to remove the module, and
the race is unlikely.

However, it means that anyone running old (but not ancient) kmod
versions is hitting the printk designed to see if anyone was running
"rmmod -w".  All reports so far have been false positives, so remove
the warning.

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A slighlty large fix for a subtle issue in the CPU hotplug code of
  certain ARM SoCs, where the not yet online cpu needs to setup the cpu
  local timer and needs to set the interrupt affinity to itself.
  Setting interrupt affinity to a not online cpu is prohibited and
  therefor the timer interrupt ends up on the wrong cpu, which leads to
  nasty complications.

  The SoC folks tried to hack around that in the SoC code in some more
  than nasty ways.  The proper solution is to have a way to enforce the
  affinity setting to a not online cpu.  The core patch to the genirq
  code provides that facility and the follow up patches make use of it
  in the GIC interrupt controller and the exynos timer driver.

  The change to the core code has no implications to existing users,
  except for the rename of the locked function and therefor the
  necessary fixup in mips/cavium.  Aside of that, no runtime impact is
  possible, as none of the existing interrupt chips implements anything
  which depends on the force argument of the irq_set_affinity()
  callback"

77668c8b55 workqueue: fix a possible race condition between rescuer and pwq-release
There is a race condition between rescuer_thread() and
pwq_unbound_release_workfn().

Even after a pwq is scheduled for rescue, the associated work items
may be consumed by any worker.  If all of them are consumed before the
rescuer gets to them and the pwq's base ref was put due to attribute
change, the pwq may be released while still being linked on
@wq->maydays list making the rescuer dereference already freed pwq
later.

Make send_mayday() pin the target pwq until the rescuer is done with
it.

4d595b866d workqueue: make rescuer_thread() empty wq->maydays list before exiting
After a @pwq is scheduled for emergency execution, other workers may
consume the affectd work items before the rescuer gets to them.  This
means that a workqueue many have pwqs queued on @wq->maydays list
while not having any work item pending or in-flight.  If
destroy_workqueue() executes in such condition, the rescuer may exit
without emptying @wq->maydays.

This currently doesn't cause any actual harm.  destroy_workqueue() can
safely destroy all the involved data structures whether @wq->maydays
is populated or not as nobody access the list once the rescuer exits.

However, this is nasty and makes future development difficult.  Let's
update rescuer_thread() so that it empties @wq->maydays after seeing
should_stop to guarantee that the list is empty on rescuer exit.

{inc,dec}_rt_tasks() used to count entities which are directly queued

There is no problem here, but now we want to count number of all tasks
which are actually queued under the rt_rq in all the hierarchy (except
throttled rt queues).

Empty queues are not able to be queued and all of the places, which

febdbfe8a9 arch: Prepare for smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic()
Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.

Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.

So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().

This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.

This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).

   - A missing early exit in the jiffies update path which causes

     and wasted cycles in the timer interrupt

   - Checking a variable in the NOHZ code enable code for true which can

01f8fa4f01 genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts
The current implementation of irq_set_affinity() refuses rightfully to
route an interrupt to an offline cpu.

But there is a special case, where this is actually desired. Some of
the ARM SoCs have per cpu timers which require setting the affinity
during cpu startup where the cpu is not yet in the online mask.

If we can't do that, then the local timer interrupt for the about to
become online cpu is routed to some random online cpu.

The developers of the affected machines tried to work around that
issue, but that results in a massive mess in that timer code.

We have a yet unused argument in the set_affinity callbacks of the irq
chips, which I added back then for a similar reason. It was never
required so it got not used. But I'm happy that I never removed it.

That allows us to implement a sane handling of the above scenario. So
the affected SoC drivers can add the required force handling to their
interrupt chip, switch the timer code to irq_force_affinity() and
things just work.

This does not affect any existing user of irq_set_affinity().

Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock
event drivers.

014940bad8 uprobes/x86: Send SIGILL if arch_uprobe_post_xol() fails
Currently the error from arch_uprobe_post_xol() is silently ignored.
This doesn't look good and this can lead to the hard-to-debug problems.

1. Change handle_singlestep() to loudly complain and send SIGILL.

   Note: this only affects x86, ppc/arm can't fail.

2. Change arch_uprobe_post_xol() to call arch_uprobe_abort_xol() and
   avoid TF games if it is going to return an error.

   This can help to to analyze the problem, if nothing else we should
   not report ->ip = xol_slot in the core-file.

   Note: this means that handle_riprel_post_xol() can be called twice,
   but this is fine because it is idempotent.

8a6b173287 uprobes: Kill UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP and can_skip_sstep()
UPROBE_COPY_INSN, UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP, and uprobe->flags must die. This
patch kills UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP. I never understood why it was added;
not only it doesn't help, it harms.

It can only help to avoid arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() if it was already
called before and failed. But this is ugly, if we want to know whether
we can emulate this instruction or not we should do this analysis in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn(), not when we hit this probe for the first
time.

And in fact this logic is simply wrong. arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() can
fail or not depending on the task/register state, if this insn can be
emulated but, say, put_user() fails we need to xol it this time, but
this doesn't mean we shouldn't try to emulate it when this or another
thread hits this bp next time.

And this is the actual reason for this change. We need to emulate the
"call" insn, but push(return-address) can obviously fail.

Per-arch notes:

	x86: __skip_sstep() can only emulate "rep;nop". With this
	     change it will be called every time and most probably
	     for no reason.

	     This will be fixed by the next changes. We need to
	     change this suboptimal code anyway.

	arm: Should not be affected. It has its own "bool simulate"
	     flag checked in arch_uprobe_skip_sstep().

	ppc: Looks like, it can emulate almost everything. Does it
	     actually need to record the fact that emulate_step()
	     failed? Hopefully not. But if yes, it can add the ppc-
	     specific flag into arch_uprobe.

e37a06f109 cgroup: fix the retry path of cgroup_mount()
If we hit the retry path, we'll call parse_cgroupfs_options() again,
but the string we pass to it has been modified by the previous call
to this function.

This bug can be observed by:

  # mount -t cgroup -o name=foo,cpuset xxx /mnt && umount /mnt && \
    mount -t cgroup -o name=foo,cpuset xxx /mnt
  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on xxx,
         missing codepage or helper program, or other error
  ...

The second mount passed "name=foo,cpuset" to the parser, and then it
hit the retry path and call the parser again, but this time the string
passed to the parser is "name=foo".

To fix this, we avoid calling parse_cgroupfs_options() again in this
case.

and having the "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" map to it.

When an instance is created, it creates the same files but its for the
local instance and not the global_ops.

The issues is that the local instance creation shares some code with
the global instance one and we end up trying to create th top level
"set_ftrace_*" files twice, and on boot up, we get an error like this:

 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_filter' entry
 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_notrace' entry

The reason they failed to be created was because they were created
twice, and the second time gives this error as you can not create the
same file twice.
