Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Main user visible change:

   - User events can now have "multi formats"

     The current user events have a single format. If another event is
     created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That
     is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a
     different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an
     event and updates its format. An application using the older format
     will prevent an application using the new library from registering
     its event.

     A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event
     names, and it creates events with different formats.

     The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
     format. Both the event name and its format are the unique
     identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the
     same user event name but with different payloads.

   - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
     not just the main top level tracing buffer.

  Other changes:

   - Add eventfs_root_inode

     Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away)
     and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands
     of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set
     in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a
     eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root
     inode will use this.

   - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs

     There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be
     hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to
     make sure that they are never hit.

   - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid
     array

     The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to
     hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already
     apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory
     can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as
     well.

   - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in
     TRACE_EVENT()

     Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:

         __string(name, source)

     And assigned with:

        __assign_str(name, source)

     In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to
     get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and
     __assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer.
     There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT()
     macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in
     the ring buffer which is created by __string().

     There are several trace events that have a function to create the
     string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for
     __string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for
     this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in
     __string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also
     already has its length).

     By using the structure to store the source string for the
     assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is
     no longer needed.

     It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a
     warning if the source string given to __string() is different than
     the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to
     __assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away.

   - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
     source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the
     next merge window.

     Included fixes that the above check found.

   - Other minor clean ups and fixes"

<content type='text'>
The TRACE_EVENT macros has some dependency if a __string() field is NULL,
where it will save "(null)" as the string. This string is also used by
__assign_str(). It's better to create a single macro instead of having
something that will not be caught by the compiler if there is an
unfortunate typo.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "From the functional perspective, the most significant change here is
  the addition of support for Energy Models that can be updated
  dynamically at run time.

  There is also the addition of LZ4 compression support for hibernation,
  the new preferred core support in amd-pstate, new platforms support in
  the Intel RAPL driver, new model-specific EPP handling in intel_pstate
  and more.

  Apart from that, the cpufreq default transition delay is reduced from
  10 ms to 2 ms (along with some related adjustments), the system
  suspend statistics code undergoes a significant rework and there is a
  usual bunch of fixes and code cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Allow the Energy Model to be updated dynamically (Lukasz Luba)

   - Add support for LZ4 compression algorithm to the hibernation image
     creation and loading code (Nikhil V)

   - Fix and clean up system suspend statistics collection (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Simplify device suspend and resume handling in the power management
     core code (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix PCI hibernation support description (Yiwei Lin)

   - Make hibernation take set_memory_ro() return values into account as
     appropriate (Christophe Leroy)

   - Set mem_sleep_current during kernel command line setup to avoid an
     ordering issue with handling it (Maulik Shah)

   - Fix wake IRQs handling when pm_runtime_force_suspend() is used as a
     driver's system suspend callback (Qingliang Li)

   - Simplify pm_runtime_get_if_active() usage and add a replacement for
     pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() (Sakari Ailus)

   - Add a tracepoint for runtime_status changes tracking (Vilas Bhat)

   - Fix section title markdown in the runtime PM documentation (Yiwei
     Lin)

   - Enable preferred core support in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver
     (Meng Li)

   - Fix min_perf assignment in amd_pstate_adjust_perf() and make the
     min/max limit perf values in amd-pstate always stay within the
     (highest perf, lowest perf) range (Tor Vic, Meng Li)

   - Allow intel_pstate to assign model-specific values to strings used
     in the EPP sysfs interface and make it do so on Meteor Lake
     (Srinivas Pandruvada)

   - Drop long-unused cpudata::prev_cummulative_iowait from the
     intel_pstate cpufreq driver (Jiri Slaby)

   - Prevent scaling_cur_freq from exceeding scaling_max_freq when the
     latter is an inefficient frequency (Shivnandan Kumar)

   - Change default transition delay in cpufreq to 2ms (Qais Yousef)

   - Remove references to 10ms minimum sampling rate from comments in
     the cpufreq code (Pierre Gondois)

   - Honour transition_latency over transition_delay_us in cpufreq (Qais
     Yousef)

   - Stop unregistering cpufreq cooling on CPU hot-remove (Viresh Kumar)

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "From the functional perspective, the most significant change here is
  the addition of support for Energy Models that can be updated
  dynamically at run time.

  There is also the addition of LZ4 compression support for hibernation,
  the new preferred core support in amd-pstate, new platforms support in
  the Intel RAPL driver, new model-specific EPP handling in intel_pstate
  and more.

  Apart from that, the cpufreq default transition delay is reduced from
  10 ms to 2 ms (along with some related adjustments), the system
  suspend statistics code undergoes a significant rework and there is a
  usual bunch of fixes and code cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Allow the Energy Model to be updated dynamically (Lukasz Luba)

   - Add support for LZ4 compression algorithm to the hibernation image
     creation and loading code (Nikhil V)

   - Fix and clean up system suspend statistics collection (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Simplify device suspend and resume handling in the power management
     core code (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix PCI hibernation support description (Yiwei Lin)

   - Make hibernation take set_memory_ro() return values into account as
     appropriate (Christophe Leroy)

   - Set mem_sleep_current during kernel command line setup to avoid an
     ordering issue with handling it (Maulik Shah)

   - Fix wake IRQs handling when pm_runtime_force_suspend() is used as a
     driver's system suspend callback (Qingliang Li)

   - Simplify pm_runtime_get_if_active() usage and add a replacement for
     pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() (Sakari Ailus)

   - Add a tracepoint for runtime_status changes tracking (Vilas Bhat)

   - Fix section title markdown in the runtime PM documentation (Yiwei
     Lin)

   - Enable preferred core support in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver
     (Meng Li)

   - Fix min_perf assignment in amd_pstate_adjust_perf() and make the
     min/max limit perf values in amd-pstate always stay within the
     (highest perf, lowest perf) range (Tor Vic, Meng Li)

   - Allow intel_pstate to assign model-specific values to strings used
     in the EPP sysfs interface and make it do so on Meteor Lake
     (Srinivas Pandruvada)

   - Drop long-unused cpudata::prev_cummulative_iowait from the
     intel_pstate cpufreq driver (Jiri Slaby)

   - Prevent scaling_cur_freq from exceeding scaling_max_freq when the
     latter is an inefficient frequency (Shivnandan Kumar)

   - Change default transition delay in cpufreq to 2ms (Qais Yousef)

   - Remove references to 10ms minimum sampling rate from comments in
     the cpufreq code (Pierre Gondois)

   - Honour transition_latency over transition_delay_us in cpufreq (Qais
     Yousef)

   - Stop unregistering cpufreq cooling on CPU hot-remove (Viresh Kumar)

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     &amp; unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:

   - The hierarchical timer pull model

     When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer
     wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry.
     This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.

     This is wrong in several aspects:

       1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
          definition as the chance to get the prediction right is
          close to zero.

       2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on
          a single target CPU

       3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead
          for dubious value especially under the consideration that the
          vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or
          rearmed before they expire.

     The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
     computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on
     which they get armed.

     This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers
     and global timers which do not care about where they expire.

     As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
     timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.

     When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:

       - If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
         timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they
         expire.

       - If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry
         time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU
         makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer.

     The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
     lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to
     the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e.
     the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight
     has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if
     needed.

     In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU
     to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.

     The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether
     there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have
     global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the
     migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.

     Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can
     require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.

     Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point
     the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and
     it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its
     own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in
     the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires
     first.

     This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which
     is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly
     more complex idle path.

     This has been in development for a couple of years and the final
     series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon
     vendors and ran through extensive CI.

     There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
     centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them
     to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first
     time in a mostly idle scenario.

     There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific
     overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the
     rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on
     the power management side.

   - Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:

     cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware
     timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes
     address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the
     math and logic wrong.

   - Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to
     automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of
     having more incomprehensible command line parameters.

   - Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures.

   - The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place"
