  SELinux: Fix RCU deref check warning in sel_netport_insert()

Manually fix up a semantic mis-merge wrt security_netlink_recv():

 - the interface was removed in commit fd77846152 ("security: remove
   the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()")

 - a new user of it appeared in commit a38f7907b9 ("crypto: Add
   userspace configuration API")

causing no automatic merge conflict, but Eric Paris pointed out the
issue.

bced76aeac sched: Fix lockup by limiting load-balance retries on lock-break
Eric and David reported dead machines and traced it to commit
a195f004 ("sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking"), it turns out
there's still a scenario where we can end up re-trying forever.

Since there is no strict forward progress guarantee in the
load-balance iteration we can get stuck re-retrying the same
task-set over and over.

Creating a forward progress guarantee with the existing
structure is somewhat non-trivial, for now simply terminate the
retry loop after a few tries.

1ac9bc6943 sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime
If CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is defined, the kernel maintains
information about how long the task was sleeping or
in the case of iowait, blocking in the kernel before
getting woken up.

This will be useful for sleep time profiling.

Note: this information is only provided for sched_fair.
Other scheduling classes may choose to provide this in
the future.

Note: the delay includes the time spent on the runqueue
as well.

The panic-on-framebuffer code seems to cause a schedule
to occur during an oops. This causes a bunch of extra

Don't do scheduler debug checks when we are oopsing already.

Remove cfs bandwidth period check from tg_set_cfs_period.
Invalid bandwidth period's lower/upper limits are denoted
by min_cfs_quota_period/max_cfs_quota_period repsectively,
and are checked against valid period in tg_set_cfs_bandwidth().

As pjt pointed out, negative input will result in very large unsigned
numbers and will be caught by the max allowed period test.

a195f004e9 sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking
The current lock break relies on contention on the rq locks, something
which might never come because we've got IRQs disabled. Or will be
very likely because on anything with more than 2 cpus a synchronized
load-balance pass will very likely cause contention on the rq locks.

Also the sched_nr_migrate thing fails when it gets trapped the loops
of either the cgroup muck in load_balance_fair() or the move_tasks()
load condition.

Instead, use the new lb_flags field to propagate break/abort
conditions for all these loops and create a new loop outside the irq
disabled on the break being required.

Yong Zhang reported:

 > [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 > kernel/sched/fair.c:5091 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

This is due to the sched_domain stuff being RCU protected and
commit 0b005cf5 ("sched, nohz: Implement sched group, domain
aware nohz idle load balancing") overlooking this fact.

The sd variable only lives inside the for_each_domain() block,
so we only need to wrap that.

Intention is to set the NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK flag for the 'ilb_cpu'. Not

8a6d42d1b3 sched, nohz: Fix the idle cpu check in nohz_idle_balance
cpu bit in the nohz.idle_cpu_mask are reset in the first busy tick after
exiting idle. So during nohz_idle_balance(), intention is to double
check if the cpu that is part of the idle_cpu_mask is indeed idle before
going ahead in performing idle balance for that cpu.

Fix the cpu typo in the idle_cpu() check during nohz_idle_balance().

Now that we're  pointing cpuacct's root cgroup to cpustat and accounting
through task_group_account_field(), we should not access cpustat directly.
Since it is done anyway inside the acessor function, we end up accounting
it twice, which is wrong.

54c707e98d sched/accounting: Re-use scheduler statistics for the root cgroup
Right now, after we collect tick statistics for user and system and store them
in a well known location, we keep the same statistics again for cpuacct.
Since cpuacct is hierarchical, the numbers for the root cgroup should be
absolutely equal to the system-wide numbers.

So it would be better to just use it: this patch changes cpuacct accounting
in a way that the cpustat statistics are kept in a struct kernel_cpustat percpu
array. In the root cgroup case, we just point it to the main array. The rest of
the hierarchy walk can be totally disabled later with a static branch - but I am
not doing it here.

0b005cf54e sched, nohz: Implement sched group, domain aware nohz idle load balancing
When there are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often, members of
the global nohz data structure are getting modified very frequently causing
lot of cache-line contention.

Make the nohz idle load balancing more scalabale by using the sched domain
topology and 'nr_busy_cpu's in the struct sched_group_power.

Idle load balance is kicked on one of the idle cpu's when there is atleast
one idle cpu and:

 - a busy rq having more than one task or

 - a busy rq's scheduler group that share package resources (like HT/MC
   siblings) and has more than one member in that group busy or

 - for the SD_ASYM_PACKING domain, if the lower numbered cpu's in that
   domain are idle compared to the busy ones.

This will help in kicking the idle load balancing request only when
there is a potential imbalance. And once it is mostly balanced, these kicks will
be minimized.

These changes helped improve the workload that is context switch intensive
between number of task pairs by 2x on a 8 socket NHM-EX based system.

69e1e811dc sched, nohz: Track nr_busy_cpus in the sched_group_power
Introduce nr_busy_cpus in the struct sched_group_power [Not in sched_group
because sched groups are duplicated for the SD_OVERLAP scheduler domain]
and for each cpu that enters and exits idle, this parameter will
be updated in each scheduler group of the scheduler domain that this cpu
belongs to.

To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters
and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is
delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy.
This is done using NOHZ_IDLE flag in the struct rq's nohz_flags.

1c792db7f7 sched, nohz: Introduce nohz_flags in 'struct rq'
Introduce nohz_flags in the struct rq, which will track these two flags
for now.

NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED keeps track of the tick stopped status that gets set when
the tick is stopped. It will be used to update the nohz idle load balancer data
structures during the first busy tick after the tick is restarted. At this
first busy tick after tickless idle, NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED flag will be reset.
This will minimize the nohz idle load balancer status updates that currently
happen for every tickless exit, making it more scalable when there
are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often.

NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK will track the need for nohz idle load balance
on this rq. This will replace the nohz_balance_kick in the rq, which was
not being updated atomically.

77e81365e0 sched: Clean up domain traversal in select_idle_sibling()
Instead of going through the scheduler domain hierarchy multiple times
(for giving priority to an idle core over an idle SMT sibling in a busy
core), start with the highest scheduler domain with the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
flag and traverse the domain hierarchy down till we find an idle group.

This cleanup also addresses an issue reported by Mike where the recent
changes returned the busy thread even in the presence of an idle SMT
sibling in single socket platforms.

b781a602ac events, sched: Add tracepoint for accounting blocked time
This tracepoint shows how long a task is sleeping in uninterruptible state.

E.g. it may show how long and where a mutex is waited for.

There's too many sched*.[ch] files in kernel/, give them their own
directory.
