Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
  the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
  permission check to ptrace.c

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

Pull tasklist_lock optimizations from Eric Biederman:
 "prlimit and getpriority tasklist_lock optimizations

  The tasklist_lock popped up as a scalability bottleneck on some
  testing workloads. The readlocks in do_prlimit and set/getpriority are
  not necessary in all cases.

  Based on a cycles profile, it looked like ~87% of the time was spent
  in the kernel, ~42% of which was just trying to get *some* spinlock
  (queued_spin_lock_slowpath, not necessarily the tasklist_lock).

  The big offenders (with rough percentages in cycles of the overall
  trace):
   - do_wait 11%
   - setpriority 8% (done previously in commit 7f8ca0edfe07)
   - kill 8%
   - do_exit 5%
   - clone 3%
   - prlimit64 2%   (this patchset)
   - getrlimit 1%   (this patchset)

  I can't easily test this patchset on the original workload for various
  reasons. Instead, I used the microbenchmark below to at least verify
  there was some improvement. This patchset had a 28% speedup (12% from
  baseline to set/getprio, then another 14% for prlimit).

  This series used to do the setpriority case, but an almost identical
  change was merged as commit 7f8ca0edfe07 ("kernel/sys.c: only take
  tasklist_lock for get/setpriority(PRIO_PGRP)") so that has been
  dropped from here.

  One interesting thing is that my libc's getrlimit() was calling
  prlimit64, so hoisting the read_lock(tasklist_lock) into sys_prlimit64
  had no effect - it essentially optimized the older syscalls only. I
  didn't do that in this patchset, but figured I'd mention it since it
  was an option from the previous patch's discussion"

<title>prlimit: do not grab the tasklist_lock</title>

Unnecessarily grabbing the tasklist_lock can be a scalability bottleneck
for workloads that also must grab the tasklist_lock for waiting,
killing, and cloning.

The tasklist_lock was grabbed to protect tsk-&gt;sighand from disappearing
(becoming NULL).  tsk-&gt;signal was already protected by holding a
reference to tsk.

update_rlimit_cpu() assumed tsk-&gt;sighand != NULL.  With this commit, it
attempts to lock_task_sighand().  However, this means that
update_rlimit_cpu() can fail.  This only happens when a task is exiting.
Note that during exec, sighand may *change*, but it will not be NULL.

Prior to this commit, the do_prlimit() ensured that update_rlimit_cpu()
would not fail by read locking the tasklist_lock and checking tsk-&gt;sighand
!= NULL.

If update_rlimit_cpu() fails, there may be other tasks that are not
exiting that share tsk-&gt;signal.  However, the group_leader is the last
task to be released, so if we cannot update_rlimit_cpu(group_leader),
then the entire process is exiting.

The only other caller of update_rlimit_cpu() is
selinux_bprm_committing_creds().  It has tsk == current, so
update_rlimit_cpu() cannot fail (current-&gt;sighand cannot disappear
until current exits).

This change resulted in a 14% speedup on a microbenchmark where parents
kill and wait on their children, and children getpriority, setpriority,
and getrlimit.

<title>tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle</title>

RCU_SOFTIRQ used to be special in that it could be raised on purpose
within the idle path to prevent from stopping the tick. Some code still
prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour
while entering in dynticks-idle mode.

However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the
removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this
safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from
sane places.

A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked
in fragile hotplug path.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:

* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
  or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
  updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
  stop_machine() callback.

* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
  on the host.

Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.

A watchdog maximum skew of 100us may still be too small for
some systems or archs. It may also be too small when some kernel
debug config options are enabled.  So add a new Kconfig option
CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US to allow kernel builders to have more
control on the threshold for marking clocksource as unstable.

Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:

 - introduce for_each_set_bitrange()

 - use find_first_*_bit() instead of find_next_*_bit() where possible

 - unify for_each_bit() macros

* tag 'bitmap-5.17-rc1' of git://github.com/norov/linux:
  vsprintf: rework bitmap_list_string
  lib: bitmap: add performance test for bitmap_print_to_pagebuf
  bitmap: unify find_bit operations
  mm/percpu: micro-optimize pcpu_is_populated()
  Replace for_each_*_bit_from() with for_each_*_bit() where appropriate
  find: micro-optimize for_each_{set,clear}_bit()
  include/linux: move for_each_bit() macros from bitops.h to find.h
  cpumask: replace cpumask_next_* with cpumask_first_* where appropriate
  tools: sync tools/bitmap with mother linux
  all: replace find_next{,_zero}_bit with find_first{,_zero}_bit where appropriate
  cpumask: use find_first_and_bit()
  lib: add find_first_and_bit()
  arch: remove GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT entirely
  include: move find.h from asm_generic to linux
  bitops: move find_bit_*_le functions from le.h to find.h
  bitops: protect find_first_{,zero}_bit properly

cpumask_first() is a more effective analogue of 'next' version if n == -1
(which means start == 0). This patch replaces 'next' with 'first' where
things look trivial.

There's no cpumask_first_zero() function, so create it.
