[ Upstream commit 98c88dc8a1ace642d9021b103b28cba7b51e3abc ]

Samuel and Alex reported regressions of the util_avg of RT rq with
commit 17e3e88ed0b6 ("sched/fair: Fix pelt lost idle time detection").
It happens that fair is updating and syncing the pelt clock with task one
when pick_next_task_fair() fails to pick a task but before the prev
scheduling class got a chance to update its pelt signals.

Move update_idle_rq_clock_pelt() in set_next_task_idle() which is called
after prev class has been called.

<title>sched: idle: Consolidate the handling of two special cases</title>

[ Upstream commit f4c31b07b136839e0fb3026f8a5b6543e3b14d2f ]

There are two special cases in the idle loop that are handled
inconsistently even though they are analogous.

The first one is when a cpuidle driver is absent and the default CPU
idle time power management implemented by the architecture code is used.
In that case, the scheduler tick is stopped every time before invoking
default_idle_call().

The second one is when a cpuidle driver is present, but there is only
one idle state in its table.  In that case, the scheduler tick is never
stopped at all.

Since each of these approaches has its drawbacks, reconcile them with
the help of one simple heuristic.  Namely, stop the tick if the CPU has
been woken up by it in the previous iteration of the idle loop, or let
it tick otherwise.

If the cpuidle governor .select() callback is skipped because there
is only one idle state in the cpuidle driver, the .reflect() callback
should be skipped as well, at least for consistency (if not for
correctness), so do it.

<title>kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup</title>

<content type='text'>
commit cff9b2332ab762b7e0586c793c431a8f2ea4db04 upstream.

Initial booting is setting the task flag to idle (PF_IDLE) by the call
path sched_init() -&gt; init_idle().  Having the task idle and calling
call_rcu() in kernel/rcu/tiny.c means that TIF_NEED_RESCHED will be
set.  Subsequent calls to any cond_resched() will enable IRQs,
potentially earlier than the IRQ setup has completed.  Recent changes
have caused just this scenario and IRQs have been enabled early.

This causes a warning later in start_kernel() as interrupts are enabled
before they are fully set up.

Fix this issue by setting the PF_IDLE flag later in the boot sequence.

Although the boot task was marked as idle since (at least) d80e4fda576d,
I am not sure that it is wrong to do so.  The forced context-switch on
idle task was introduced in the tiny_rcu update, so I'm going to claim
this fixes 5f6130fa52ee.

<title>context_tracking: Take idle eqs entrypoints over RCU</title>

The RCU dynticks counter is going to be merged into the context tracking
subsystem. Start with moving the idle extended quiescent states
entrypoints to context tracking. For now those are dumb redirections to
existing RCU calls.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - rwsem cleanups &amp; optimizations/fixes:
    - Conditionally wake waiters in reader/writer slowpaths
    - Always try to wake waiters in out_nolock path

 - Add try_cmpxchg64() implementation, with arch optimizations - and use
   it to micro-optimize sched_clock_{local,remote}()

 - Various force-inlining fixes to address objdump instrumentation-check
   warnings

 - Add lock contention tracepoints:

    lock:contention_begin
    lock:contention_end

 - Misc smaller fixes &amp; cleanups

 - sched/core is on a pretty old -rc1 base - refresh it to include recent fixes.
 - this also allows up to resolve a (trivial) .mailmap conflict

Conflicts:

This is invoked from the stopper thread too, which is definitely not idle.
Rename it to flush_smp_call_function_queue() and fixup the callers.

While looking into a bug related to the compiler's handling of addresses
of labels, I noticed some uses of _THIS_IP_ seemed unused in lockdep.
Drive by cleanup.

-Wunused-parameter:
kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1383:22: warning: unused parameter 'ip'
kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4246:48: warning: unused parameter 'ip'
kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4844:19: warning: unused parameter 'ip'
