commit ee26c013cdee0b947e29d6cadfb9ff3341c69ff9 upstream.

Without this patch irq_domain_disassociate() cannot properly release the
interrupt. In fact, irq_map_generic_chip() checks a bit on 'gc-&gt;installed'
but said bit is never cleared, only set.

Commit 088f40b7b027 ("genirq: Generic chip: Add linear irq domain support")
added irq_map_generic_chip() function and also stated "This lacks a removal
function for now".

This commit provides an implementation of an unmap function that can be
called by irq_domain_disassociate().

[ tglx: Made the function static and removed the export as we have neither
  	a prototype nor a modular user. ]

<title>sched/fair: Fix min_vruntime tracking</title>

commit b60205c7c558330e4e2b5df498355ec959457358 upstream.

While going through enqueue/dequeue to review the movement of
set_curr_task() I noticed that the (2nd) update_min_vruntime() call in
dequeue_entity() is suspect.

It turns out, its actually wrong because it will consider
cfs_rq-&gt;curr, which could be the entry we just normalized. This mixes
different vruntime forms and leads to fail.

The purpose of the second update_min_vruntime() is to move
min_vruntime forward if the entity we just removed is the one that was
holding it back; _except_ for the DEQUEUE_SAVE case, because then we
know its a temporary removal and it will come back.

However, since we do put_prev_task() _after_ dequeue(), cfs_rq-&gt;curr
will still be set (and per the above, can be tranformed into a
different unit), so update_min_vruntime() should also consider
curr-&gt;on_rq. This also fixes another corner case where the enqueue
(which also does update_curr()-&gt;update_min_vruntime()) happens on the
rq-&gt;lock break in schedule(), between dequeue and put_prev_task.

<title>sched/fair: Fix incorrect task group -&gt;load_avg</title>

commit b5a9b340789b2b24c6896bcf7a065c31a4db671c upstream.

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury,
which he bisected back to:

  3d30544f0212 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes)

The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved
(read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask.

The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child-&gt;se[i]-&gt;avg.load_avg)
is initialized to scale_load_down(se-&gt;load.weight). During the creation of
a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to
parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load
(tg_parent-&gt;load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg().

But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load,
whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value.

The result is a tg_parent-&gt;load_avg that is higher than the real load, the
weight of group entities (tg_parent-&gt;se[i]-&gt;load.weight) on online CPUs is
smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than
what it could expect.

( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg"
  of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib"
  of online cfs_rqs of the task group. )

The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else
than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

commit 58bfea9532552d422bde7afa207e1a0f08dffa7d upstream.

In commit 27727df240c7 ("Avoid taking lock in NMI path with
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING"), I changed the logic to open-code
the timekeeping_get_ns() function, but I forgot to include
the unit conversion from cycles to nanoseconds, breaking the
function's output, which impacts users like perf.

This results in bogus perf timestamps like:

Add the proper use of timekeeping_delta_to_ns() to convert
the cycle delta to nanoseconds as needed.

Thanks to Brendan and Alexei for finding this quickly after
the v4.8 release. Unfortunately the problematic commit has
landed in some -stable trees so they'll need this fix as
well.

Many apologies for this mistake. I'll be looking to add a
perf-clock sanity test to the kselftest timers tests soon.

Add the proper use of timekeeping_delta_to_ns() to convert
the cycle delta to nanoseconds as needed.

Thanks to Brendan and Alexei for finding this quickly after
the v4.8 release. Unfortunately the problematic commit has
landed in some -stable trees so they'll need this fix as
well.

Many apologies for this mistake. I'll be looking to add a
perf-clock sanity test to the kselftest timers tests soon.

The iter-&gt;seq can be reset outside the protection of the mutex. So can
reading of user data. Move the mutex up to the beginning of the function.

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Three fixes for irq core and irq chip drivers:

   - Do not set the irq type if type is NONE.  Fixes a boot regression

   - Use the proper cpu for setting up the GIC target list.  Discovered
     by the cpumask debugging code.

   - A rather large fix for the MIPS-GIC so per cpu local interrupts
     work again.  This was discovered late because the code falls back
