  kernel code that triggers objtool warnings.

  Things like missing function size annotations, or code that confuses
  the unwinder etc.   - Linus]

 "Saner handling of refcounts to mountpoints.

  Transfer the counting reference from struct mount -&gt;mnt_mountpoint
  over to struct mountpoint -&gt;m_dentry. That allows us to get rid of the
  convoluted games with ordering of mount shutdowns.

  The cost is in teaching shrink_dcache_{parent,for_umount} to cope with
  mixed-filesystem shrink lists, which we'll also need for the Slab
  Movable Objects patchset"

  Teach shrink_dcache_parent() to cope with mixed-filesystem shrink lists

<title>KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts</title>

Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates.  This patch introduces vcpu-&gt;ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu-&gt;preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).

Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M

<title>KVM: LAPIC: Inject timer interrupt via posted interrupt</title>

<id>0c5f81dad46c90792e6c3c4797131323c9e96dcd</id>
<content type='text'>
Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due
to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the
vCPUs reside.  There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest
like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires
incur vmexits.  This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer
fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled.

In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy
housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server
processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts,
which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires.

The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical
processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping.
If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode,
~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the
number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially.  Without patch

EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT    42916    49.43%   39.30%   0.47us   106.09us   0.71us ( +-   1.09% )

 - Some headers graduated from the blacklist

 - hyperv_timer.h joined the header-test when CONFIG_X86=y

 - nf_tables*.h joined the header-test when CONFIG_NF_TABLES is
   enabled.

 - The entry for nf_tables_offload.h was added to fix build error for
   the combination of CONFIG_NF_TABLES=n and CONFIG_KERNEL_HEADER_TEST=y.

 - The entry for iomap.h was added because this header is supposed to
   be included only when CONFIG_BLOCK=y
