Peter Zijlstra d136122f58 sched: Fix race against ptrace_freeze_trace() 
There is apparently one site that violates the rule that only current
and ttwu() will modify task->state, namely ptrace_{,un}freeze_traced()
will change task->state for a remote task.

Oleg explains:

  "TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED was always protected by siglock. In
particular, ttwu(__TASK_TRACED) must be always called with siglock
held. That is why ptrace_freeze_traced() assumes it can safely do
s/TASK_TRACED/__TASK_TRACED/ under spin_lock(siglock)."

This breaks the ordering scheme introduced by commit:

  dbfb089d36 ("sched: Fix loadavg accounting race")

Specifically, the reload not matching no longer implies we don't have
to block.

Simply things by noting that what we need is a LOAD->STORE ordering
and this can be provided by a control dependency.

So replace:

	prev_state = prev->state;
	raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock);
	smp_mb__after_spinlock(); /* SMP-MB */
	if (... && prev_state && prev_state == prev->state)
		deactivate_task();

with:

	prev_state = prev->state;
	if (... && prev_state) /* CTRL-DEP */
		deactivate_task();

Since that already implies the 'prev->state' load must be complete
before allowing the 'prev->on_rq = 0' store to become visible.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
