The full dynticks tree needs the latest RCU and sched
upstream updates in order to fix some dependencies.

Merge a common upstream merge point that has these
updates.

<title>nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON</title>

<id>3451d0243c3cdfd729b36f9684a14659d4895ca3</id>
<content type='text'>
We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.

As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.

It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.

On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.

But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:

1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
   CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE

We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.

So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.

Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

Pull third pile of kernel_execve() patches from Al Viro:
 "The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
  alpha/arm/x86 use of those.  Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
  do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
  task_work stuff" breakage there.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
  can be done independently for different architectures.  The only
  pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
  restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
  the next cycle.

  I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
  eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
  turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
  changes."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  arm: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  x86, um: convert to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics
  make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves
  make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()
  ppc: eeh_event should just use kthread_run()
  don't bother with kernel_thread/kernel_execve for launching linuxrc
  alpha: get rid of switch_stack argument of do_work_pending()
  alpha: don't bother passing switch_stack separately from regs
  alpha: take SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME loop into signal.c
  alpha: simplify TIF_NEED_RESCHED handling
