Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Whenever cpuset needs to rebuild sched_domain, it walked all tasks
   looking for DEADLINE tasks as they need to be accounted on the new
   domain. Walking all tasks can be expensive and there may not be any
   DEADLINE tasks at all. Task iteration is now omitted if there are no
   DEADLINE tasks

 - Fixes DEADLINE bandwidth misaccounting after task migration failures

 - When no controller is enabled, -Wstringop-overflow warning is
   triggered. The fix patch added an early exit which is too eager and
   got reverted for now. Will fix later

 - Everything else is minor cleanups

 - Concurrency-managed per-cpu work items that hog CPUs and delay the
   execution of other work items are now automatically detected and
   excluded from concurrency management. Reporting on such work items
   can also be enabled through a config option.

 - Added tools/workqueue/wq_monitor.py which improves visibility into
   workqueue usages and behaviors.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:

   - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.

     Problem:

        On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of
        higher-frequency SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores),
        under the old code lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the
        higher-priority cores if more than one SMT sibling was busy -
        resulting in many unnecessary task migrations.

     Solution:

        The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores
        with more than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs
        to pull tasks, which avoids superfluous migrations and lets
        lower-priority cores inspect all SMT siblings for the busiest
        queue.

   - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer:
     consider CPU contention in frequency, EAS max util &amp; load-balance
     busiest CPU selection.

     This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves
     other key workloads unchanged.

  Scheduler infrastructure improvements:

   - Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it into
     the build_sched_topology() helper function and building it
     dynamically on the fly.

   - Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
     the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
     local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
     and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.

  Fixes:

   - Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()

   - Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
       - Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations
       - Fix task_struct::saved_state handling

   - Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq
     clock debugging code.

   - Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger
     by creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting
     window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or
     CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

   - Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain

   - Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code

   - Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in
     psi_trigger_destroy().

   - Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(),
     which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping
     groups.

   - Fix the sched-debug printing of rq-&gt;nr_uninterruptible

  Cleanups:

   - Address various -Wmissing-prototype warnings, as a preparation to
     (maybe) enable this warning in the future.

   - Remove unused code

   - Mark more functions __init

   - Fix shadow-variable warnings"

There is a double update_rq_clock() invocation:

  __balance_push_cpu_stop()
    update_rq_clock()
    __migrate_task()
      update_rq_clock()

Sadly select_fallback_rq() also needs update_rq_clock() for
__do_set_cpus_allowed(), it is not possible to remove the update from
__balance_push_cpu_stop(). So remove it from __migrate_task() and
ensure all callers of this function call update_rq_clock() prior to
calling it.

When using a cpufreq governor that uses
cpufreq_add_update_util_hook(), it is possible to trigger a missing
update_rq_clock() warning for the CPU hotplug path:

  rq_attach_root()
    set_rq_offline()
      rq_offline_rt()
	__disable_runtime()
	  sched_rt_rq_enqueue()
	    enqueue_top_rt_rq()
	      cpufreq_update_util()
		data-&gt;func(data, rq_clock(rq), flags)

Move update_rq_clock() from sched_cpu_deactivate() (one of it's
callers) into set_rq_offline() such that it covers all
set_rq_offline() usage.

Additionally change rq_attach_root() to use rq_lock_irqsave() so that
it will properly manage the runqueue clock flags.

<title>sched: Consider task_struct::saved_state in wait_task_inactive()</title>

<content type='text'>
With the introduction of task_struct::saved_state in commit
5f220be21418 ("sched/wakeup: Prepare for RT sleeping spin/rwlocks")
matching the task state has gotten more complicated. That same commit
changed try_to_wake_up() to consider both states, but
wait_task_inactive() has been neglected.

Sebastian noted that the wait_task_inactive() usage in
ptrace_check_attach() can misbehave when ptrace_stop() is blocked on
the tasklist_lock after it sets TASK_TRACED.

Therefore extract a common helper from ttwu_state_match() and use that
to teach wait_task_inactive() about the PREEMPT_RT locks.

While modifying wait_task_inactive() for PREEMPT_RT; the build robot
noted that UP got broken. This led to audit and consideration of the
UP implementation of wait_task_inactive().

It looks like the UP implementation is also broken for PREEMPT;
consider task_current_syscall() getting preempted between the two
calls to wait_task_inactive().

Therefore move the wait_task_inactive() implementation out of
CONFIG_SMP and unconditionally use it.

<title>workqueue: Automatically mark CPU-hogging work items CPU_INTENSIVE</title>

<content type='text'>
If a per-cpu work item hogs the CPU, it can prevent other work items from
starting through concurrency management. A per-cpu workqueue which intends
to host such CPU-hogging work items can choose to not participate in
concurrency management by setting %WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE; however, this can be
error-prone and difficult to debug when missed.

This patch adds an automatic CPU usage based detection. If a
concurrency-managed work item consumes more CPU time than the threshold
(10ms by default) continuously without intervening sleeps, wq_worker_tick()
which is called from scheduler_tick() will detect the condition and
automatically mark it CPU_INTENSIVE.

The mechanism isn't foolproof:

* Detection depends on tick hitting the work item. Getting preempted at the
  right timings may allow a violating work item to evade detection at least
  temporarily.

* nohz_full CPUs may not be running ticks and thus can fail detection.

* Even when detection is working, the 10ms detection delays can add up if
  many CPU-hogging work items are queued at the same time.

However, in vast majority of cases, this should be able to detect violations
reliably and provide reasonable protection with a small increase in code
complexity.

If some work items trigger this condition repeatedly, the bigger problem
likely is the CPU being saturated with such per-cpu work items and the
solution would be making them UNBOUND. The next patch will add a debug
mechanism to help spot such cases.

v4: Documentation for workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us added to
    kernel-parameters.txt.

v3: Switch to use wq_worker_tick() instead of hooking into preemptions as
    suggested by Peter.

v2: Lai pointed out that wq_worker_stopping() also needs to be called from
    preemption and rtlock paths and an earlier patch was updated
    accordingly. This patch adds a comment describing the risk of infinte
    recursions and how they're avoided.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Free DL BW in case can_attach() fails</title>

cpuset_can_attach() can fail. Postpone DL BW allocation until all tasks
have been checked. DL BW is not allocated per-task but as a sum over
all DL tasks migrating.

If multiple controllers are attached to the cgroup next to the cpuset
controller a non-cpuset can_attach() can fail. In this case free DL BW
in cpuset_cancel_attach().

Finally, update cpuset DL task count (nr_deadline_tasks) only in
cpuset_attach().

<title>sched/deadline: Create DL BW alloc, free &amp; check overflow interface</title>

While moving a set of tasks between exclusive cpusets,
cpuset_can_attach() -&gt; task_can_attach() calls dl_cpu_busy(..., p) for
DL BW overflow checking and per-task DL BW allocation on the destination
root_domain for the DL tasks in this set.

This approach has the issue of not freeing already allocated DL BW in
the following error cases:

(1) The set of tasks includes multiple DL tasks and DL BW overflow
    checking fails for one of the subsequent DL tasks.

(2) Another controller next to the cpuset controller which is attached
    to the same cgroup fails in its can_attach().

To address this problem rework dl_cpu_busy():

(1) Split it into dl_bw_check_overflow() &amp; dl_bw_alloc() and add a
    dedicated dl_bw_free().

(2) dl_bw_alloc() &amp; dl_bw_free() take a `u64 dl_bw` parameter instead of
    a `struct task_struct *p` used in dl_cpu_busy(). This allows to
    allocate DL BW for a set of tasks too rather than only for a single
    task.
