Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The tree got pretty big in this development cycle, but the net effect
is pretty good:
115 files changed, 673 insertions(+), 1522 deletions(-)
The main changes were:
- Rework and generalize the mutex code to remove per arch mutex
primitives. (Peter Zijlstra)
- Add vCPU preemption support: add an interface to query the
preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this
optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross,
Christian Borntraeger)
- Introduce cpu_relax_yield() and remov cpu_relax_lowlatency() to
clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core
kernel impact. (Christian Borntraeger)
- Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long)
- Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive()
interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to
get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on
sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to
not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra)
- Improve the rtmutex code a bit, in light of recent long lived
bugs/races. (Thomas Gleixner)
- Misc fixes, cleanups"

During page fault handling we check the last instruction to understand
if the fault was for a read or for a write. By default we fall back to
read. New instructions were added to the openrisc 1.1 spec for an
atomic load/store pair (l.lwa/l.swa).
This patch adds the opcode for l.swa (0x33) allowing it to be treated as
a write operation.

The of_platform_populate call in the openrisc arch code is now redundant
as the DT core provides a default call. Openrisc has a NULL match table
which means only top level nodes with compatible strings will have
devices creates. The default version will also descend nodes in the
match table such as "simple-bus" which should be fine as openrisc
doesn't have any of these (though it is preferred that memory-mapped
peripherals be grouped under a bus node(s)).

Fix signal handling for when signals are handled as the result of timers
or exceptions, previous code assumed syscalls. This was noticeable with X
crashing where it uses SIGALRM.
This patch restores all regs before returning to userspace via
_resume_userspace instead of via syscall return path.
The rt_sigreturn syscall is more like a context switch than a function
call; it entails a return from one context (the signal handler) to another
(the process in question). For a context switch like this there are
effectively no call-saved regs that remain constant across the transition.

On OpenRISC, with its 8k pages, PAGE_SHIFT is defined to be 13.
That makes the expression (1UL << (PAGE_SHIFT-2)) evaluate
to 2048.
The correct value for PTRS_PER_PGD should be 256.
Correcting the PTRS_PER_PGD define unveiled a bug in map_ram(),
where PTRS_PER_PGD was used when the intent was to iterate
over a set of page table entries.
This patch corrects that issue as well.

The original code causes a static checker warning because it has a
continue inside a do { } while (0); loop. In that context, a continue
and a break are equivalent. The intent was to go back to the start of
the loop so the continue was a bug.
I've added a retry label at the start and changed the continue to a goto
retry. Then I removed the do { } while (0) loop and pulled the code in
one indent level.

Dump and reset doesn't work unless cmpxchg64() is used both from packet
and control plane paths. This approach is going to be slow though.
Instead, use a percpu seqcount to fetch counters consistently, then
subtract bytes and packets in case a reset was requested.
The cpu that running over the reset code is guaranteed to own this stats
exclusively, we have to turn counters into signed 64bit though so stats
update on reset don't get wrong on underflow.
This patch is based on original sketch from Eric Dumazet.

find_idlest_group() only compares the runnable_load_avg when looking
for the least loaded group. But on fork intensive use case like
hackbench where tasks blocked quickly after the fork, this can lead to
selecting the same CPU instead of other CPUs, which have similar
runnable load but a lower load_avg.
When the runnable_load_avg of 2 CPUs are close, we now take into
account the amount of blocked load as a 2nd selection factor. There is
now 3 zones for the runnable_load of the rq:
- [0 .. (runnable_load - imbalance)]:
Select the new rq which has significantly less runnable_load
- [(runnable_load - imbalance) .. (runnable_load + imbalance)]:
The runnable loads are close so we use load_avg to chose
between the 2 rq
- [(runnable_load + imbalance) .. ULONG_MAX]:
Keep the current rq which has significantly less runnable_load
The scale factor that is currently used for comparing runnable_load,
doesn't work well with small value. As an example, the use of a
scaling factor fails as soon as this_runnable_load == 0 because we
always select local rq even if min_runnable_load is only 1, which
doesn't really make sense because they are just the same. So instead
of scaling factor, we use an absolute margin for runnable_load to
detect CPUs with similar runnable_load and we keep using scaling
factor for blocked load.
For use case like hackbench, this enable the scheduler to select
different CPUs during the fork sequence and to spread tasks across the
system.
Tests have been done on a Hikey board (ARM based octo cores) for
several kernel. The result below gives min, max, avg and stdev values
of 18 runs with each configuration.
The patches depend on the "no missing update_rq_clock()" work.

During fork, the utilization of a task is init once the rq has been
selected because the current utilization level of the rq is used to
set the utilization of the fork task. As the task's utilization is
still 0 at this step of the fork sequence, it doesn't make sense to
look for some spare capacity that can fit the task's utilization.
Furthermore, I can see perf regressions for the test:
hackbench -P -g 1
because the least loaded policy is always bypassed and tasks are not
spread during fork.
With this patch and the fix below, we are back to same performances as
for v4.8. The fix below is only a temporary one used for the test
until a smarter solution is found because we can't simply remove the
test which is useful for others benchmarks

Commit:
3cded4179481 ("x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()")
introduced a paravirt op with bool return type [*]
It turns out that the PVOP_CALL*() macros miscompile when rettype is
bool. Code that looked like:
83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi
ff 15 32 a0 d8 00 callq *0xd8a032(%rip) # ffffffff81e28120 <pv_lock_ops+0x20>
84 c0 test %al,%al
ended up looking like so after PVOP_CALL1() was applied:
83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi
48 63 ff movslq %edi,%rdi
ff 14 25 20 81 e2 81 callq *0xffffffff81e28120
48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
Note how it tests the whole of %rax, even though a typical bool return
function only sets %al, like:
0f 95 c0 setne %al
c3 retq
This is because ____PVOP_CALL() does:
__ret = (rettype)__eax;
and while regular integer type casts truncate the result, a cast to
bool tests for any !0 value. Fix this by explicitly truncating to
sizeof(rettype) before casting.
[*] The actual bug should've been exposed in commit:
446f3dc8cc0a ("locking/core, x86/paravirt: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) for KVM and Xen guests")
but that didn't properly implement the paravirt call.

While chasing a regression I noticed we potentially patch the wrong
code in native_patch().
If we do not select the native code sequence, we must use the default
patcher, not fall-through the switch case.

An earlier patch allowed enabling PT and LBR at the same
time on Goldmont. However it also allowed enabling BTS and LBR
at the same time, which is still not supported. Fix this by
bypassing the check only for PT.

The sync_cmos_clock function in kernel/time/ntp.c first tries to update
the internal clock of the cpu by calling the "update_persistent_clock64"
architecture specific function. If this returns -ENODEV, it then tries
to update an external RTC using "rtc_set_ntp_time".
On the mips architecture, the weak implementation of the underlying
function would return 0 if it wasn't overridden. This meant that the
sync_cmos_clock function would never try to update an external RTC
(if both CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE and CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC are
configured)
Returning -ENODEV instead, means that an external RTC will be tried.

In commit 02cea3958664 ("genirq: Provide disable_hardirq()")
Peter introduced disable_hardirq() for netpoll, but it is forgotten
to use it for e1000.
This patch changes disable_irq() to disable_hardirq() for e1000.

The .match_method field is a u8, so we shouldn't be casting to a u16,
and because it is only one byte, we do not need to byte swap anything.
Just assign the value directly. This avoids issues on Big Endian
architectures which would have byte swapped and then incorrectly
truncated the value.
