Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Apply a number of membarrier related fixes and cleanups, which fixes
   a use-after-free race in the membarrier code

 - Introduce proper RCU protection for tasks on the runqueue - to get
   rid of the subtle task_rcu_dereference() interface that was easy to
   get wrong

 - Misc fixes, but also an EAS speedup

Add a count of the number of RCU users (currently 1) of the task
struct so that we can later add the scheduler case and get rid of the
very subtle task_rcu_dereference(), and just use rcu_dereference().

As suggested by Oleg have the count overlap rcu_head so that no
additional space in task_struct is required.

Pull hmm updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "This is more cleanup and consolidation of the hmm APIs and the very
  strongly related mmu_notifier interfaces. Many places across the tree
  using these interfaces are touched in the process. Beyond that a
  cleanup to the page walker API and a few memremap related changes
  round out the series:

   - General improvement of hmm_range_fault() and related APIs, more
     documentation, bug fixes from testing, API simplification &amp;
     consolidation, and unused API removal

   - Simplify the hmm related kconfigs to HMM_MIRROR and DEVICE_PRIVATE,
     and make them internal kconfig selects

   - Hoist a lot of code related to mmu notifier attachment out of
     drivers by using a refcount get/put attachment idiom and remove the
     convoluted mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() and related APIs.

   - General API improvement for the migrate_vma API and revision of its
     only user in nouveau

   - Annotate mmu_notifiers with lockdep and sleeping region debugging

  Two series unrelated to HMM or mmu_notifiers came along due to
  dependencies:

   - Allow pagemap's memremap_pages family of APIs to work without
     providing a struct device

   - Make walk_page_range() and related use a constant structure for
     function pointers"

due to osq_lock() calling vcpu_is_preempted(node_cpu(node-&gt;prev))), but

 "Timers and timekeeping updates:

   - A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
     for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
     properly accounted on the task/process.

     An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
     merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
     travel.

   - Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
     homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.

   - Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
     single function

   - Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
     interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
     affected timers accordingly.

   - Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
     RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
     which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
     Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
     timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
     released by the (hr)timer expiry code.

   - Enable the Hyper-V TSC page based sched_clock for Hyper-V guests
     resulting in faster access to timekeeping functions.

<id>312364f3534cc974b79a96d062bde2386315201f</id>
<content type='text'>
In some special cases we must not block, but there's not a spinlock,
preempt-off, irqs-off or similar critical section already that arms the
might_sleep() debug checks. Add a non_block_start/end() pair to annotate
these.

This will be used in the oom paths of mmu-notifiers, where blocking is not
allowed to make sure there's forward progress. Quoting Michal:

"The notifier is called from quite a restricted context - oom_reaper -
which shouldn't depend on any locks or sleepable conditionals. The code
should be swift as well but we mostly do care about it to make a forward
progress. Checking for sleepable context is the best thing we could come
up with that would describe these demands at least partially."

Peter also asked whether we want to catch spinlocks on top, but Michal
said those are less of a problem because spinlocks can't have an indirect
dependency upon the page allocator and hence close the loop with the oom
reaper.

Suggested by Michal Hocko.

In some special cases we must not block, but there's not a spinlock,
preempt-off, irqs-off or similar critical section already that arms the
might_sleep() debug checks. Add a non_block_start/end() pair to annotate
these.

The expiry cache belongs into the posix_cputimers container where the other
cpu timers information is.

<title>posix-cpu-timers: Create a container struct</title>

Per task/process data of posix CPU timers is all over the place which
makes the code hard to follow and requires ifdeffery.

Create a container to hold all this information in one place, so data is
consolidated and the ifdeffery can be confined to the posix timer header
file and removed from places like fork.

As a first step, move the cpu_timers list head array into the new struct
and clean up the initializers and simplify fork. The remaining #ifdef in
fork will be removed later.
