<title>fs/epoll: use a per-cpu counter for user's watches count</title>

This counter tracks the number of watches a user has, to compare against
the 'max_user_watches' limit. This causes a scalability bottleneck on
SPECjbb2015 on large systems as there is only one user. Changing to a
per-cpu counter increases throughput of the benchmark by about 30% on a
16-socket, &gt; 1000 thread system.

<title>memcg: replace in_interrupt() by !in_task() in active_memcg()</title>

set_active_memcg() uses in_interrupt() check to select proper storage for
cgroup: pointer on task struct or per-cpu pointer.

It isn't fully correct: obsoleted in_interrupt() includes tasks with
disabled BH.  It's better to use '!in_task()' instead.

While it was not useful to that bug report to know where the reclaim lock
had been acquired, it might be useful under other circumstances.  Allow
the caller of __fs_reclaim_acquire to specify the instruction pointer to
use.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "In preparation of doing something about PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT I have
  started cleaning up various pieces of code related to do_exit. Most of
  that code I did not manage to get tested and reviewed before the merge
  window opened but a handful of very useful cleanups are ready to be
  merged.

  The first change is simply the removal of the bdflush system call. The
  code has now been disabled long enough that even the oldest userspace
  working userspace setups anyone can find to test are fine with the
  bdflush system call being removed.

  Changing m68k fsp040_die to use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of
  calling do_exit directly is interesting only in that it is nearly the
  most difficult of the incorrect uses of do_exit to remove.

  The change to the seccomp code to simply send a signal instead of
  calling do_coredump directly is a very nice little cleanup made
  possible by realizing the existing signal sending helpers were missing
  a little bit of functionality that is easy to provide"

Pull siginfo si_trapno updates from Eric Biederman:
 "The full set of si_trapno changes was not appropriate as a fix for the
  newly added SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF, and so I postponed the rest of the
  related cleanups.

  This is the rest of the cleanups for si_trapno that reduces it from
  being a really weird arch special case that is expect to be always
  present (but isn't) on the architectures that support it to being yet
  another field in the _sigfault union of struct siginfo.

  The changes have been reviewed and marinated in linux-next. With the
  removal of this awkward special case new code (like SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF)
  that works across architectures should be easier to write and

  This is the rest of the cleanups for si_trapno that reduces it from
  being a really weird arch special case that is expect to be always
  present (but isn't) on the architectures that support it to being yet
  another field in the _sigfault union of struct siginfo.

  The changes have been reviewed and marinated in linux-next. With the
  removal of this awkward special case new code (like SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF)
  that works across architectures should be easier to write and
  maintain"

* 'siginfo-si_trapno-for-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  signal: Rename SIL_PERF_EVENT SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT for consistency
  signal: Verify the alignment and size of siginfo_t
  signal: Remove the generic __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO support
  signal/alpha: si_trapno is only used with SIGFPE and SIGTRAP TRAP_UNK
  signal/sparc: si_trapno is only used with SIGILL ILL_ILLTRP
  arm64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
  arm: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
  sparc64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for timekeeping, timers and related drivers:

  Core code:

   - Cure a couple of correctness issues in the posix CPU timer code to
     prevent that the tick dependency for NOHZ full is kept alive for no
     reason.

   - Avoid expensive double reprogramming of the clockevent device in
     hrtimer_start_range_ns().

   - Avoid pointless SMP function calls when the clock was set to avoid
     disturbing CPUs which do not have any affected timers queued.

   - Make the clocksource watchdog test work correctly when CONFIG_HZ is
     less than 100.

  Drivers:

   - Prefer the ARM architected timer over the Exynos timer which is way
     more expensive to access.

   - Add device tree bindings for new Ingenic SoCs

   - The usual improvements and cleanups all over the place"

Pull locking and atomics updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The regular pile:

   - A few improvements to the mutex code

   - Documentation updates for atomics to clarify the difference between
     cmpxchg() and try_cmpxchg() and to explain the forward progress
     expectations.

   - Simplification of the atomics fallback generator

   - The addition of arch_atomic_long*() variants and generic arch_*()
     bitops based on them.

   - Add the missing might_sleep() invocations to the down*() operations
     of semaphores.

  The PREEMPT_RT locking core:

   - Scheduler updates to support the state preserving mechanism for
     'sleeping' spin- and rwlocks on RT.

     This mechanism is carefully preserving the state of the task when
     blocking on a 'sleeping' spin- or rwlock and takes regular wake-ups
     targeted at the same task into account. The preserved or updated
     (via a regular wakeup) state is restored when the lock has been
     acquired.

   - Restructuring of the rtmutex code so it can be utilized and
     extended for the RT specific lock variants.

   - Restructuring of the ww_mutex code to allow sharing of the ww_mutex
     specific functionality for rtmutex based ww_mutexes.

   - Header file disentangling to allow substitution of the regular lock
     implementations with the PREEMPT_RT variants without creating an
     unmaintainable #ifdef mess.

   - Shared base code for the PREEMPT_RT specific rw_semaphore and
     rwlock implementations.

     Contrary to the regular rw_semaphores and rwlocks the PREEMPT_RT
     implementation is writer unfair because it is infeasible to do
     priority inheritance on multiple readers. Experience over the years
     has shown that real-time workloads are not the typical workloads
     which are sensitive to writer starvation.

     The alternative solution would be to allow only a single reader
     which has been tried and discarded as it is a major bottleneck
     especially for mmap_sem. Aside of that many of the writer
     starvation critical usage sites have been converted to a writer
     side mutex/spinlock and RCU read side protections in the past
     decade so that the issue is less prominent than it used to be.

   - The actual rtmutex based lock substitutions for PREEMPT_RT enabled
     kernels which affect mutex, ww_mutex, rw_semaphore, spinlock_t and
     rwlock_t. The spin/rw_lock*() functions disable migration across
     the critical section to preserve the existing semantics vs per-CPU
     variables.

   - Rework of the futex REQUEUE_PI mechanism to handle the case of
     early wake-ups which interleave with a re-queue operation to
     prevent the situation that a task would be blocked on both the
     rtmutex associated to the outer futex and the rtmutex based hash
     bucket spinlock.

     While this situation cannot happen on !RT enabled kernels the
     changes make the underlying concurrency problems easier to
     understand in general. As a result the difference between !RT and
     RT kernels is reduced to the handling of waiting for the critical
     section. !RT kernels simply spin-wait as before and RT kernels
     utilize rcu_wait().

   - The substitution of local_lock for PREEMPT_RT with a spinlock which
     protects the critical section while staying preemptible. The CPU
     locality is established by disabling migration.

  The underlying concepts of this code have been in use in PREEMPT_RT for
  way more than a decade. The code has been refactored several times over
  the years and this final incarnation has been optimized once again to be
  as non-intrusive as possible, i.e. the RT specific parts are mostly
  isolated.

  It has been extensively tested in the 5.14-rt patch series and it has
  been verified that !RT kernels are not affected by these changes"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - The biggest change in this cycle is scheduler support for asymmetric
   scheduling affinity, to support the execution of legacy 32-bit tasks
   on AArch32 systems that also have 64-bit-only CPUs.

   Architectures can fill in this functionality by defining their own
   task_cpu_possible_mask(p). When this is done, the scheduler will make
   sure the task will only be scheduled on CPUs that support it.

   (The actual arm64 specific changes are not part of this tree.)

   For other architectures there will be no change in functionality.

 - Add cgroup SCHED_IDLE support

 - Increase node-distance flexibility &amp; delay determining it until a CPU
   is brought online. (This enables platforms where node distance isn't
   final until the CPU is only.)

 - Deadline scheduler enhancements &amp; fixes

 - Misc fixes &amp; cleanups.
