Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

<title>genirq: Return a const cpumask from irq_data_get_affinity_mask</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that the irq_data_update_affinity helper exists, enforce its use
by returning a a const cpumask from irq_data_get_affinity_mask.

Since the previous commit already updated places that needed to call
irq_data_update_affinity, this commit updates the remaining code that
either did not modify the cpumask or immediately passed the modified
mask to irq_set_affinity.

Context tracking is going to be used not only to track user transitions
but also idle/IRQs/NMIs. The user tracking part will then become a
separate feature. Prepare Kconfig for that.

context_tracking_user_enter() and context_tracking_user_exit() are
ASM callable versions of user_enter() and user_exit() for architectures

Pull ptrace_stop cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at the ptrace problems with PREEMPT_RT and the problems
  Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite I
  identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
  and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.

  The biggest issue is the habit of the ptrace code to change
  task-&gt;__state from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up
  the tracee. No other code in the kernel does that and it is straight
  forward to update signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.

  Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
  then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
  on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
  tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.

  The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
  task-&gt;jobctl as well as in task-&gt;__state. This makes it possible for
  the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
  serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that
  direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
  ups and become an ordinary stop state.

  The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers
  for a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped
  in the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
  register values of a task.

  There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
  while looking at these issues.

  One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5f6
  ("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This
  makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
  of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly. According
  to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing cares that
  spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case"

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

Return boolean values ("true" or "false") instead of 1 or 0 from bool
function. This fixes the following warnings from coccicheck:

./arch/xtensa/kernel/traps.c:304:10-11: WARNING: return of 0/1 in
function 'check_div0' with return type bool
