 "Update/fix two CPU sanity checks in the hotplug and the boot code, and
  fix a typo in the Kconfig help text.

  [ Context: the first two commits are the result of an ongoing
    annotation+review work of (intentional) tick_do_timer_cpu() data
    races reported by KCSAN, but the annotations aren't fully cooked
    yet ]"

  timekeeping: Fix spelling mistake in Kconfig "fullfill" -> "fulfill"
  tick/sched: Remove bogus boot "safety" check
  tick: Remove pointless cpu valid check in hotplug code

There is a spelling mistake in the Kconfig help text. Fix it.

can_stop_idle_tick() checks whether the do_timer() duty has been taken over
by a CPU on boot. That's silly because the boot CPU always takes over with
the initial clockevent device.

But even if no CPU would have installed a clockevent and taken over the
duty then the question whether the tick on the current CPU can be stopped
or not is moot. In that case the current CPU would have no clockevent
either, so there would be nothing to keep ticking.

Remove it.

tick_handover_do_timer() which is invoked when a CPU is unplugged has a
check for cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask) when it tries to hand over the
tick update duty.

Checking the result of cpumask_first() there is pointless because if the
online mask is empty at this point, then this would be the last CPU in the
system going offline, which is impossible. There is always at least one CPU
remaining. If online mask would be really empty then the timer duty would
be the least of the resulting problems.

Remove the well meant check simply because it is pointless and confusing.

Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
  the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.

  There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
  of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
  changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
  Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
  any more.

  The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a
  result.

  For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
  not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm
  platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets
  cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
  function.

  Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in
  Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
  selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead"

Pull misc fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a
  single branch:

   - Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()

   - Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The
     lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types.
     Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
     these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
     counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
     place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
     for all namespaces.

   - Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's
     PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO uapi struct to prevent an info leak.

   - Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment
     annotation to the fallthrough keyword annotation which I had taken
     into my branch and into -next before df561f6688fe ("treewide: Use
     fallthrough pseudo-keyword") made it upstream which fixed this
     tree-wide.

     Since I didn't want to invalidate all testing for other commits I
     didn't rebase and kept them"

The quick check in tick_do_update_jiffies64() whether jiffies need to be
updated is not really correct under all circumstances and on all
architectures, especially not on 32bit systems.

The quick check does:

    if (now < READ_ONCE(tick_next_period))
    	return;

and the counterpart in the update is:

    WRITE_ONCE(tick_next_period, next_update_time);

This has two problems:

  1) On weakly ordered architectures there is no guarantee that the stores
     before the WRITE_ONCE() are visible which means that other CPUs can
     operate on a stale jiffies value.

  2) On 32bit the store of tick_next_period which is an u64 is split into
     two 32bit stores. If the first 32bit store advances tick_next_period
     far out and the second 32bit store is delayed (virt, NMI ...) then
     jiffies will become stale until the second 32bit store happens.

Address this by seperating the handling for 32bit and 64bit.

On 64bit problem #1 is addressed by replacing READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE()
with smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release().

On 32bit problem #2 is addressed by protecting the quick check with the
jiffies sequence counter. The load and stores can be plain because the
sequence count mechanics provides the required barriers already.

The code for the legacy RTC and the RTC class based update are pretty much
the same. Consolidate the common parts into one function and just invoke
the actual setter functions.

For RTC class based devices the update code checks whether the offset is
valid for the device, which is usually not the case for the first
invocation. If it's not the same it stores the correct offset and lets the
caller try again. That's not much different from the previous approach
where the first invocation had a pretty low probability to actually hit the
allowed window.
