Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Debug info and other statistics fixes and related enhancements"* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/numa: Fix numa balancing stats in /proc/pid/sched
sched/numa: Show numa_group ID in /proc/sched_debug task listings
sched/debug: Move print_cfs_rq() declaration to kernel/sched/sched.h
sched/stat: Expose /proc/pid/schedstat if CONFIG_SCHED_INFO=y
sched/stat: Simplify the sched_info accounting dependency -
Commit 44dba3d5d6a1 ("sched: Refactor task_struct to use
numa_faults instead of numa_* pointers") modified the way
tsk->numa_faults stats are accounted.However that commit never touched show_numa_stats() that is displayed
in /proc/pid/sched and thus the numbers displayed in /proc/pid/sched
don't match the actual numbers.Fix it by making sure that /proc/pid/sched reflects the task
fault numbers. Also add group fault stats too.Also couple of more modifications are added here:
1. Format changes:
- Previously we would list two entries per node, one for private
and one for shared. Also the home node info was listed in each entry.- Now preferred node, total_faults and current node are
displayed separately.- Now there is one entry per node, that lists private,shared task and
group faults.2. Unit changes:
- p->numa_pages_migrated was getting reset after every read of
/proc/pid/sched. It's more useful to have absolute numbers since
differential migrations between two accesses can be more easily
calculated.Signed-off-by: Srikar Dronamraju

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems
mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree
directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories
for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container
projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime,
read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
attributes remains for another time.This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
descriptors from /proc//ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of
/proc//fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
converted) and is not now actively wrong.There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
I will mention briefly.It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user
namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly
so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
performance part of pathname resolution.As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
they are recognized"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:

Commit 1cde2930e154 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers")
had two problems. First, the preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the
addition of the static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption
while modifying the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could
observe an inconsistent list state. KVM correctly registers and
unregisters preempt notifiers with preemption disabled, so the sleep
caused dmesg splats.Second, KVM registers and unregisters preemption notifiers very often
(in vcpu_load/vcpu_put). With a single uniprocessor guest the static key
would move between 0 and 1 continuously, hitting the slow path on every
userspace exit.To fix this, wrap the static_key inc/dec in a new API, and call it from
KVM.Fixes: 1cde2930e154 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers")

Commit f06e5153f4ae2e ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather
panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after.The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option.
If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through
panic() in oops path.To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
in the condition of kexec_should_crash().Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things

For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153f4ae2e
("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after

crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled.Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not
loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the
point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd
crash_kexec() does nothing.Signed-off-by: HATAYAMA Daisuke

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
clock "monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
even faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
deal with trace events.Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
confusion with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically,
"ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
tracing and also helps with live kernel patching. But the trace
events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
trace events should not be named "ftrace". These include:include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h
include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.hAlso, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*()
(un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event()
ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name()
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -> trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call()
ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call()Structures have been renamed:
ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file
ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class}
ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer
ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir
ftrace_event_raw_##call -> trace_event_raw_##call
ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call
ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##callAnd a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly
because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
external to that"* tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (33 commits)

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This isn't my 4.2 pull request (yet). I found a few more bugs that I
would have sent to fix 4.1, but since 4.1 is already out, I'm sending
this before sending my 4.2 request (which is ready to go).After fixing the previous filter issue reported by Vince Weaver, I
could not come up with a situation where the operand counter (cnt)
could go below zero, so I added a WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0). Vince was
able to trigger that warn on with his fuzzer test, but didn't have a
filter input that caused it.Later, Sasha Levin was able to trigger that same warning, and was able
to give me the filter string that triggered it. It was simply a
single operation ">".I wrapped the filtering code in a userspace program such that I could
single step through the logic. With a single operator the operand
counter can legitimately go below zero, and should be reported to the
user as an error, but should not produce a kernel warning. The
WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) should be just a "if (cnt < 0) break;" and the
code following it will produce the error message for the user.While debugging this, I found that there was another bug that let the
pointer to the filter string go beyond the filter string. This too
was fixed.Finally, there was a typo in a stub function that only gets compiled
if trace events is disabled but tracing is enabled (I'm not even sure
that's possible)"* tag 'trace-fixes-4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Bigger items included in this update are:- A series of updates from Arnd for ARM randconfig build failures
- Updates from Dmitry for StrongARM SA-1100 to move IRQ handling to
drivers/irqchip/
- Move ARMs SP804 timer to drivers/clocksource/
- Perf updates from Mark Rutland in preparation to move the ARM perf
code into drivers/ so it can be shared with ARM64.
- MCPM updates from Nicolas
- Add support for taking platform serial number from DT
- Re-implement Keystone2 physical address space switch to conform to
architecture requirements
- Clean up ARMv7 LPAE code, which goes in hand with the Keystone2
changes.
- L2C cleanups to avoid unlocking caches if we're prevented by the
secure support to unlock.
- Avoid cleaning a potentially dirty cache containing stale data on
CPU initialisation
- Add ARM-only entry point for secondary startup (for machines that
can only call into a Thumb kernel in ARM mode). Same thing is also
done for the resume entry point.
- Provide arch_irqs_disabled via asm-generic
- Enlarge ARMv7M vector table
- Always use BFD linker for VDSO, as gold doesn't accept some of the
options we need.
- Fix an incorrect BSYM (for Thumb symbols) usage, and convert all
BSYM compiler macros to a "badr" (for branch address).

2345: eb e1 jmp 2328Yep, that's right: gcc isn't smart enough to realize that replacing '/' by
'_' cannot change the strlen(), so we call it again and again (at least
when a '/' is found). Even if gcc were that smart, this construction
would still loop over the string twice, once for the initial strlen() call
and then the open-coded loop.Let's simply use strreplace() instead.

Patch fixes drawbacks in heck_syslog_permissions() noticed by AKPM:
"from_file handling makes me cry.That's not a boolean - it's an enumerated value with two values
currently defined.But the code in check_syslog_permissions() treats it as a boolean and
also hardwires the knowledge that SYSLOG_FROM_PROC == 1 (or == `true`).And the name is wrong: it should be called from_proc to match
SYSLOG_FROM_PROC."Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin
