<content type='text'>
A fix for commit b32dfe377102 ("c/r: prctl: add ability to set new
mm_struct::exe_file").

After removing mm-&gt;num_exe_file_vmas kernel keeps mm-&gt;exe_file until
final mmput(), it never becomes NULL while task is alive.

We can check for other mapped files in mm instead of checking
mm-&gt;num_exe_file_vmas, and mark mm with flag MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED in
order to forbid second changing of mm-&gt;exe_file.

Weird topologies can lead to asymmetric domain setups. This needs
further consideration since these setups are typically non-minimal
too.

For now, make it work by adding an extra mask selecting which CPUs
are allowed to iterate up.

The topology that triggered it is the one from David Rientjes:

	10 20 20 30
	20 10 20 20
	20 20 10 20
	30 20 20 10

resulting in boxes that wouldn't even boot.

Only 3 out of 63 do not.  Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(),
added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched
open-coded instances to it.

Pull second pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro:
 "This one is just task_work_add() series + remaining prereqs for it.

  There probably will be another pull request from that tree this
  cycle - at least for helpers, to get them out of the way for per-arch
  fixes remaining in the tree."

Fix trivial conflict in kernel/irq/manage.c: the merge of Andrew's pile
had brought in commit 97fd75b7b8e0 ("kernel/irq/manage.c: use the
pr_foo() infrastructure to prefix printks") which changed one of the
pr_err() calls that this merge moves around.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  keys: kill task_struct-&gt;replacement_session_keyring
  keys: kill the dummy key_replace_session_keyring()
  keys: change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add()
  genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add()
  task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks
  avr32: missed _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME on one of do_notify_resume callers
  parisc: need to check NOTIFY_RESUME when exiting from syscall
  move key_repace_session_keyring() into tracehook_notify_resume()
  TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is defined on all targets now

Follow up on commit 556061b00 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq-&gt;cpu_load[]
calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the
mostly idle case.

Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq-&gt;cpu_load[]
array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load
balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of
idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit.

So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any
accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from
nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing
a jiffy, but that has always been the case.
