Pull pipe rework from David Howells:
 "This is my set of preparatory patches for building a general
  notification queue on top of pipes. It makes a number of significant
  changes:

   - It removes the nr_exclusive argument from __wake_up_sync_key() as
     this is always 1. This prepares for the next step:

   - Adds wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() so that poll can be
     woken up from a function that's holding the poll waitqueue
     spinlock.

   - Change the pipe buffer ring to be managed in terms of unbounded
     head and tail indices rather than bounded index and length. This
     means that reading the pipe only needs to modify one index, not
     two.

   - A selection of helper functions are provided to query the state of
     the pipe buffer, plus a couple to apply updates to the pipe
     indices.

   - The pipe ring is allowed to have kernel-reserved slots. This allows
     many notification messages to be spliced in by the kernel without
     allowing userspace to pin too many pages if it writes to the same
     pipe.

   - Advance the head and tail indices inside the pipe waitqueue lock
     and use wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() to poke poll
     without having to take the lock twice.

   - Rearrange pipe_write() to preallocate the buffer it is going to
     write into and then drop the spinlock. This allows kernel
     notifications to then be added the ring whilst it is filling the
     buffer it allocated. The read side is stalled because the pipe
     mutex is still held.

   - Don't wake up readers on a pipe if there was already data in it
     when we added more.

   - Don't wake up writers on a pipe if the ring wasn't full before we
     removed a buffer"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include cpuidle changes to use nanoseconds (instead of
  microseconds) as the unit of time and to simplify checks for disabled
  idle states in the idle loop, some cpuidle fixes and governor updates,
  assorted cpufreq updates (driver updates mostly and a few core fixes
  and cleanups), devfreq updates (dominated by the tegra30 driver
  changes), new CPU IDs for the RAPL power capping driver, relatively
  minor updates of the generic power domains (genpd) and operation
  performance points (OPP) frameworks, and assorted fixes and cleanups.

  There are also two maintainer information updates: Chanwoo Choi will
  be maintaining the devfreq subsystem going forward and Todd Brandt is
  going to maintain the pm-graph utility (created by him).

  Specifics:

   - Use nanoseconds (instead of microseconds) as the unit of time in
     the cpuidle core and simplify checks for disabled idle states in
     the idle loop (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix and clean up the teo cpuidle governor (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix the cpuidle registration error code path (Zhenzhong Duan)

   - Avoid excessive vmexits in the ACPI cpuidle driver (Yin Fengwei)

   - Extend the idle injection infrastructure to be able to measure the
     requested duration in nanoseconds and to allow an exit latency
     limit for idle states to be specified (Daniel Lezcano)

   - Fix cpufreq driver registration and clarify a comment in the
     cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar)

   - Add NULL checks to the show() and store() methods of sysfs
     attributes exposed by cpufreq (Kai Shen)

   - Update cpufreq drivers:
      * Fix for a plain int as pointer warning from sparse in
        intel_pstate (Jamal Shareef)
      * Fix for a hardcoded number of CPUs and stack bloat in the
        powernv driver (John Hubbard)
      * Updates to the ti-cpufreq driver and DT files to support new
        platforms and migrate bindings from opp-v1 to opp-v2 (Adam Ford,
        H. Nikolaus Schaller)
      * Merging of the arm_big_little and vexpress-spc drivers and
        related cleanup (Sudeep Holla)
      * Fix for imx's default speed grade value (Anson Huang)
      * Minor cleanup of the s3c64xx driver (Nathan Chancellor)
      * CPU speed bin detection fix for sun50i (Ondrej Jirman)

   - Appoint Chanwoo Choi as the new devfreq maintainer.

   - Update the devfreq core:
      * Check NULL governor in available_governors_show sysfs to prevent
        showing wrong governor information and fix a race condition
        between devfreq_update_status() and trans_stat_show() (Leonard
        Crestez)
      * Add new 'interrupt-driven' flag for devfreq governors to allow
        interrupt-driven governors to prevent the devfreq core from
        polling devices for status (Dmitry Osipenko)
      * Improve an error message in devfreq_add_device() (Matthias
        Kaehlcke)

   - Update devfreq drivers:
      * tegra30 driver fixes and cleanups (Dmitry Osipenko)
      * Removal of unused property from dt-binding documentation for the
        exynos-bus driver (Kamil Konieczny)
      * exynos-ppmu cleanup and DT bindings update (Lukasz Luba, Marek
        Szyprowski)

   - Add new CPU IDs for CometLake Mobile and Desktop to the Intel RAPL
     power capping driver (Zhang Rui)

   - Allow device initialization in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework to be more straightforward and clean it up (Ulf Hansson)

   - Add support for adjusting OPP voltages at run time to the OPP
     framework (Stephen Boyd)

   - Avoid freeing memory that has never been allocated in the
     hibernation core (Andy Whitcroft)

   - Clean up function headers in a header file and coding style in the
     wakeup IRQs handling code (Ulf Hansson, Xiaofei Tan)

   - Clean up the SmartReflex adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) driver for
     ARM (Ben Dooks, Geert Uytterhoeven)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - Make kcpustat vtime aware (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Rework the CFS load_balance() logic (Vincent Guittot)

   - Misc cleanups, smaller enhancements, fixes.

  The load-balancing rework is the most intrusive change: it replaces
  the old heuristics that have become less meaningful after the
  introduction of the PELT metrics, with a grounds-up load-balancing
  algorithm.

  As such it's not really an iterative series, but replaces the old
  load-balancing logic with the new one. We hope there are no
  performance regressions left - but statistically it's highly probable
  that there *is* going to be some workload that is hurting from these
  chnages. If so then we'd prefer to have a look at that workload and
  fix its scheduling, instead of reverting the changes"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A lot of stuff has been going on this cycle, with improving the
  support for networked IO (and hence unbounded request completion
  times) being one of the major themes. There's been a set of fixes done
  this week, I'll send those out as well once we're certain we're fully
  happy with them.

  This contains:

   - Unification of the "normal" submit path and the SQPOLL path (Pavel)

   - Support for sparse (and bigger) file sets, and updating of those
     file sets without needing to unregister/register again.

   - Independently sized CQ ring, instead of just making it always 2x
     the SQ ring size. This makes it more flexible for networked
     applications.

   - Support for overflowed CQ ring, never dropping events but providing
     backpressure on submits.

   - Add support for absolute timeouts, not just relative ones.

   - Support for generic cancellations. This divorces io_uring from
     workqueues as well, which additionally gets us one step closer to
     generic async system call support.

   - With cancellations, we can support grabbing the process file table
     as well, just like we do mm context. This allows support for system
     calls that create file descriptors, like accept4() support that's
     built on top of that.

   - Support for io_uring tracing (Dmitrii)

   - Support for linked timeouts. These abort an operation if it isn't
     completed by the time noted in the linke timeout.

   - Speedup tracking of poll requests

   - Various cleanups making the coder easier to follow (Jackie, Pavel,
     Bob, YueHaibing, me)

   - Update MAINTAINERS with new io_uring list"

Many callsites want to fetch the values of system, user, user_nice, guest
or guest_nice kcpustat fields altogether or at least a pair of these.

In that case calling kcpustat_field() for each requested field brings
unecessary overhead when we could fetch all of them in a row.

So provide kcpustat_cpu_fetch() that fetches the whole kcpustat array
in a vtime safe way under the same RCU and seqcount block.

Provide support for user, nice, guest and guest_nice fields through
kcpustat_field().

Whether we account the delta to a nice or not nice field is decided on
top of the nice value snapshot taken at the time we call kcpustat_field().
If the nice value of the task has been changed since the last vtime
update, we may have inacurrate distribution of the nice VS unnice
cputime.

However this is considered as a minor issue compared to the proper fix
that would involve interrupting the target on nice updates, which is
undesired on nohz_full CPUs.
