Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this (fairly busy) cycle were:
- There was a class of scheduler bugs related to forgetting to update
the rq-clock timestamp which can cause weird and hard to debug
problems, so there's a new debug facility for this: which uncovered
a whole lot of bugs which convinced us that we want to keep the
debug facility.
(Peter Zijlstra, Matt Fleming)
- Various cputime related updates: eliminate cputime and use u64
nanoseconds directly, simplify and improve the arch interfaces,
implement delayed accounting more widely, etc. - (Frederic
Weisbecker)
- Move code around for better structure plus cleanups (Ingo Molnar)
- Move IO schedule accounting deeper into the scheduler plus related
changes to improve the situation (Tejun Heo)
- ... plus a round of sched/rt and sched/deadline fixes, plus other

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

cputime_t is now only used by two architectures:
* powerpc (when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y)
* s390
And since the core doesn't use it anymore, we don't need any arch support
from the others. So we can remove their stub implementations.
A final cleanup would be to provide an efficient pure arch
implementation of cputime_to_nsec() for s390 and powerpc and finally
remove include/linux/cputime.h .

Initially, nsec based cputime_t implementation belonged to IA64. It got
exported later for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN but now it is again
only used by IA64. So let's move it back there.

The asm-prototypes.h file is used to provide dummy function declarations
for genksyms, when processing asm files with EXPORT_SYMBOL. Make sure

Commit 4efca4ed ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") adds
modversion support for symbols exported from asm files. Architectures
must include C-style declarations for those symbols in asm/asm-prototypes.h
in order for them to be versioned.
Add these declarations for x86, and an architecture-independent file that
can be used for common symbols.
With f27c2f6 reverting 8ab2ae6 ("default exported asm symbols to zero") we
produce a scary warning on x86, this commit fixes that.

Independent of whether the vma is for anonymous memory, some arches like
ppc64 would like to override pmd_move_must_withdraw().
One option is to encapsulate the vma_is_anonymous() check for general
architectures inside pmd_move_must_withdraw() so that is always called
and architectures that need unconditional overriding can override this
function. ppc64 needs to override the function when the MMU is
configured to use hash PTE's.

Now that we check for page size change early in the loop, we can
partially revert e9d55e157034a ("mm: change the interface for
__tlb_remove_page").
This simplies the code much, by removing the need to track the last
address with which we adjusted the range. We also go back to the older
way of filling the mmu_gather array, ie, we add an entry and then check
whether the gather batch is full.

With commit e77b0852b551 ("mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu
gather and force flush if page size change") we added the ability to
force a tlb flush when the page size change in a mmu_gather loop. We
did that by checking for a page size change every time we added a page
to mmu_gather for lazy flush/remove. We can improve that by moving the
page size change check early and not doing it every time we add a page.
This also helps us to do tlb flush when invalidating a range covering
dax mapping. Wrt dax mapping we don't have a backing struct page and
hence we don't call tlb_remove_page, which earlier forced the tlb flush
on page size change. Moving the page size change check earlier means we
will do the same even for dax mapping.
We also avoid doing this check on architecture other than powerpc.
In a later patch we will remove page size check from tlb_remove_page().

We use __tlb_adjust_range to update range convered by mmu_gather struct.
We later use the 'start' and 'end' to do a mmu_notifier_invalidate_range
in tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(). Update the 'end' correctly in
__tlb_adjust_range so that we call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range with
the correct range values.
Wrt tlbflush, this should not have any impact, because a flush with
correct start address will flush tlb mapping for the range.
Also add comment w.r.t updating the range when we free pagetable pages.
For now we don't support a range based page table cache flush.

With binutils-2.26 and before, a weak missing symbol was kept during the
final link, and a missing CRC for an export would lead to that CRC being
treated as zero implicitly. With binutils-2.27, the crc symbol gets
dropped, and any module trying to use it will fail to load.
This sets the weak CRC symbol to zero explicitly, making it defined in
vmlinux, which in turn lets us load the modules referring to that CRC.
The comment above the __CRC_SYMBOL macro suggests that this was always
the intention, although it also seems that all symbols defined in C have
a correct CRC these days, and only the exports that are now done in
assembly need this.

Since commit e647b532275b ("ACPI: Add early device probing
infrastructure") the kernel has gained the infrastructure that allows
adding linker script section entries to execute ACPI driver callbacks
(ie probe routines) for all subsystems that register a table entry
in the respective kernel section (eg clocksource, irqchip).
Since ARM IOMMU devices data is described through IORT tables when
booting with ACPI, the ARM IOMMU drivers must be made able to hook ACPI
callback routines that are called to probe IORT entries and initialize
the respective IOMMU devices.
To avoid adding driver specific hooks into IORT table initialization
code (breaking therefore code modularity - ie ACPI IORT code must be made
aware of ARM SMMU drivers ACPI init callbacks), this patch adds code
that allows ARM SMMU drivers to take advantage of the ACPI early probing
infrastructure, so that they can add linker script section entries
containing drivers callback to be executed on IORT tables detection.
Since IORT nodes are differentiated by a type, the callback routines
can easily parse the IORT table entries, check the IORT nodes and
carry out some actions whenever the IORT node type associated with
the driver specific callback is matched.

Commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like
events do") added a couple of this_cpu_read calls to the ftrace code.
On x86 this is not a problem, since it has single instructions to read
percpu data. Other architectures which use the generic variant now
have additional preempt_disable and preempt_enable calls in the core
ftrace code. This may lead to recursive calls and in result to a dead
machine, e.g. if preemption and debugging options are enabled.
To fix this use the notrace variant of preempt_disable and
preempt_enable within the generic percpu code.

The use of config_enabled() is ambiguous. For config options,
IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. will make intention clearer.
Sometimes config_enabled() has been used for non-config options because
it is useful to check whether the given symbol is defined or not.
I have been tackling on deprecating config_enabled(), and now is the
time to finish this work.
Some new users have appeared for v4.9-rc1, but it is trivial to replace
them:
- arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c
replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() because
CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 and CONFIG_EFI are boolean.
- include/asm-generic/export.h
replace config_enabled() with __is_defined().
Then, config_enabled() can be removed now.
Going forward, please use IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. for config
options, and __is_defined() for non-config symbols.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Some architectures require an additional load to find the address of
percpu pointers. In some implemenatations, the C aliasing rules do not
allow the result of that load to be kept over the store that modifies
the percpu variable, which causes additional loads.
Work around this by finding the pointer first, then operating on that.
It's also possible to mark things as restrict and those kind of games,
but that can require larger and arch specific changes.
On powerpc, __this_cpu_inc_return compiles to:

select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link
with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all
unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build
verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now.
On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving,
it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so
these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link.

There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:
1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error
This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false
positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to
be working fine here.
Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.
2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning
This is another static warning which happens when I enable
__compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size
is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to
compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the
warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
code and the warning attribute is activated.)
So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".
I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
__compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there
are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find
real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high.
3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning
This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size >
object size.
All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:
2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")
That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)
So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.
Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.
Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.

This patch aims to get rid of endianness in queued_write_unlock(). We
want to set __qrwlock->wmode to NULL, however the address is not
&lock->cnts in big endian machine. That causes queued_write_unlock()
write NULL to the wrong field of __qrwlock.
So implement __qrwlock_write_byte() which returns the correct
__qrwlock->wmode address.

Add asm-usable variants of EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This
commit just adds the default implementation; most of the architectures
can simply add export.h to asm/Kbuild and start using <asm/export.h>
from assembler. The rest needs to have their <asm/export.h> define
everal macros and then explicitly include <asm-generic/export.h>
One area where the things might diverge from default is the alignment;
normally it's 8 bytes on 64bit targets and 4 on 32bit ones, both for
unsigned long and for struct kernel_symbol. Unfortunately, amd64 and
m68k are unusual - m68k aligns to 2 bytes (for both) and amd64 aligns
struct kernel_symbol to 16 bytes. For those we'll need asm/export.h to
override the constants used by generic version - KSYM_ALIGN and KCRC_ALIGN
for kernel_symbol and unsigned long resp. And no, __alignof__ would not
do the trick - on amd64 __alignof__ of struct kernel_symbol is 8, not 16.
More serious source of unpleasantness is treatment of function
descriptors on architectures that have those. Things like ppc64,
parisc, ia64, etc. need more than the address of the first insn to
call an arbitrary function. As the result, their representation of
pointers to functions is not the typical "address of the entry point" -
it's an address of a small static structure containing all the required
information (including the entry point, of course). Sadly, the asm-side
conventions differ in what the function name refers to - entry point or
the function descriptor. On ppc64 we do the latter;
bar: .quad foo
is what void (*bar)(void) = foo; turns into and the rare places where
we need to explicitly work with the label of entry point are dealt with
as DOTSYM(foo). For our purposes it's ideal - generic macros are usable.
However, parisc would have foo and P%foo used for label of entry point
and address of the function descriptor and
bar: .long P%foo
woudl be used instead. ia64 goes similar to parisc in that respect,
except that there it's @fptr(foo) rather than P%foo. Such architectures
need to define KSYM_FUNC that would turn a function name into whatever
is needed to refer to function descriptor.
What's more, on such architectures we need to know whether we are exporting
a function or an object - in assembler we have to tell that explicitly, to
decide whether we want EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo) produce e.g.
__ksymtab_foo: .quad foo
or
__ksymtab_foo: .quad @fptr(foo)
For that reason we introduce EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), to be used for
exports of data objects. On normal architectures it's the same thing
as EXPORT_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), but on parisc-like ones they differ and the
right one needs to be used. Most of the exports are functions, so we
keep EXPORT_SYMBOL for those...
