Thomas Gleixner f7abf14f00 posix-cpu-timers: Implement the missing timer_wait_running callback
For some unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years.
Marco reported recently that the WARN_ON() in timer_wait_running()
triggers with a posix CPU timer test case.

Posix CPU timers have two execution models for expiring timers depending on
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK:

1) If not enabled, the expiry happens in hard interrupt context so
   spin waiting on the remote CPU is reasonably time bound.

   Implement an empty stub function for that case.

2) If enabled, the expiry happens in task work before returning to user
   space or guest mode. The expired timers are marked as firing and moved
   from the timer queue to a local list head with sighand lock held. Once
   the timers are moved, sighand lock is dropped and the expiry happens in
   fully preemptible context. That means the expiring task can be scheduled
   out, migrated, interrupted etc. So spin waiting on it is more than
   suboptimal.

   The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
   a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
   task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.

   This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
   timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
   belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
   can be used too in a slightly different way:

    - Add a mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work. This struct is per task
      and used to schedule the expiry task work from the timer interrupt.

    - Add a task_struct pointer to struct cpu_timer which is used to store
      a the task which runs the expiry. That's filled in when the task
      moves the expired timers to the local expiry list. That's not
      affecting the size of the k_itimer union as there are bigger union
      members already

    - Let the task take the expiry mutex around the expiry function

    - Let the waiter acquire a task reference with rcu_read_lock() held and
      block on the expiry mutex

   This avoids spin-waiting on a task which might not even be on a CPU and
   works nicely for RT too.

Linus Torvalds 1930a6e739 ptrace: Cleanups for v5.18
This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
 the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
 permission check to ptrace.c
 
 The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
 source of confusion in recent years.  Much of that confusion was
 around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
 making the semantics clearer).
 
 For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
 implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
 was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged.  For many
 years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
 bit at a time.  To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
 some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.

       ptrace: Move ptrace_report_syscall into ptrace.h

       ptrace: Remove arch_syscall_{enter,exit}_tracehook

Barret Rhoden 18c91bb2d8 prlimit: do not grab the tasklist_lock
Unnecessarily grabbing the tasklist_lock can be a scalability bottleneck
for workloads that also must grab the tasklist_lock for waiting,
killing, and cloning.

The tasklist_lock was grabbed to protect tsk->sighand from disappearing
(becoming NULL).  tsk->signal was already protected by holding a
reference to tsk.

update_rlimit_cpu() assumed tsk->sighand != NULL.  With this commit, it
attempts to lock_task_sighand().  However, this means that
update_rlimit_cpu() can fail.  This only happens when a task is exiting.
Note that during exec, sighand may *change*, but it will not be NULL.

Prior to this commit, the do_prlimit() ensured that update_rlimit_cpu()
would not fail by read locking the tasklist_lock and checking tsk->sighand
!= NULL.

If update_rlimit_cpu() fails, there may be other tasks that are not
exiting that share tsk->signal.  However, the group_leader is the last
task to be released, so if we cannot update_rlimit_cpu(group_leader),
then the entire process is exiting.

The only other caller of update_rlimit_cpu() is
selinux_bprm_committing_creds().  It has tsk == current, so
update_rlimit_cpu() cannot fail (current->sighand cannot disappear
until current exits).

This change resulted in a 14% speedup on a microbenchmark where parents
kill and wait on their children, and children getpriority, setpriority,
and getrlimit.

Michael Pratt ca7752caea posix-cpu-timers: Clear task::posix_cputimers_work in copy_process()
copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a
timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct
completes then the child task will have:

1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued.

copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and
posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense
for two tasks to share a common linked list).

Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is
never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip
scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive
timer expirations.

Together, the complete flow is:

1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel.
2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1.
   2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
   2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to
       task_struct.task_works.
3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2.
4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2.
5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see
   task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling
   work.

Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work
in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across
tasks in the first place.

Frederic Weisbecker ee375328f5 posix-cpu-timers: Recalc next expiration when timer_settime() ends up not queueing
There are several scenarios that can result in posix_cpu_timer_set()
not queueing the timer but still leaving the threadgroup cputime counter
running or keeping the tick dependency around for a random amount of time.

1) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
   already disabled, the process wide cputime counter will be started
   and won't ever get a chance to be stopped by stop_process_timer()
   since no timer is actually armed to be processed.

   The following snippet is enough to trigger the issue.

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
		timer_delete(id);
	}

2) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
   already armed, the timer is dequeued but not really disarmed. So the
   process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency may still remain
   a while around.

   The following code snippet keeps this overhead around for one week after
   the timer deletion:

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		val.it_value.tv_sec = 604800;
		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
		timer_delete(id);
	}

3) If the timer was initially deactivated, this call to timer_settime()
   with an early expiration may have started the process wide cputime
   counter even though the timer hasn't been queued and armed because it
   has fired early and inline within posix_cpu_timer_set() itself. As a
   result the process wide cputime counter may never stop until a new
   timer is ever armed in the future.

   The following code snippet can reproduce this:

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
	}

4) If the timer was initially armed with a former expiration value
   before this call to timer_settime() and the current call sets an
   early deadline that has already expired, the timer fires inline
   within posix_cpu_timer_set(). In this case it must have been dequeued
   before firing inline with its new expiration value, yet it hasn't
   been disarmed in this case. So the process wide cputime counter and
   the tick dependency may still be around for a while even after the
   timer fired.

   The following code snippet can reproduce this:

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		val.it_value.tv_sec = 100;
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
		val.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
		val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
	}

Fix all these issues with triggering the related base next expiration
recalculation on the next tick. This also implies to re-evaluate the need
to keep around the process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency, in
a similar fashion to disarm_timer().

Thomas Gleixner 1fb497dd00 posix-cpu-timers: Provide mechanisms to defer timer handling to task_work
Running posix CPU timers in hard interrupt context has a few downsides:

 - For PREEMPT_RT it cannot work as the expiry code needs to take
   sighand lock, which is a 'sleeping spinlock' in RT. The original RT
   approach of offloading the posix CPU timer handling into a high
   priority thread was clumsy and provided no real benefit in general.

 - For fine grained accounting it's just wrong to run this in context of
   the timer interrupt because that way a process specific CPU time is
   accounted to the timer interrupt.

 - Long running timer interrupts caused by a large amount of expiring
   timers which can be created and armed by unpriviledged user space.

There is no hard requirement to expire them in interrupt context.

If the signal is targeted at the task itself then it won't be delivered
before the task returns to user space anyway. If the signal is targeted at
a supervisor process then it might be slightly delayed, but posix CPU
timers are inaccurate anyway due to the fact that they are tied to the
tick.

Provide infrastructure to schedule task work which allows splitting the
posix CPU timer code into a quick check in interrupt context and a thread
context expiry and signal delivery function. This has to be enabled by
architectures as it requires that the architecture specific KVM
implementation handles pending task work before exiting to guest mode.

Eric W. Biederman 55e8c8eb2c posix-cpu-timers: Store a reference to a pid not a task
posix cpu timers do not handle the death of a process well.

This is most clearly seen when a multi-threaded process calls exec from a
thread that is not the leader of the thread group.  The posix cpu timer code
continues to pin the old thread group leader and is unable to find the
siglock from there.

This results in posix_cpu_timer_del being unable to delete a timer,
posix_cpu_timer_set being unable to set a timer.  Further to compensate for
the problems in posix_cpu_timer_del on a multi-threaded exec all timers
that point at the multi-threaded task are stopped.

The code for the timers fundamentally needs to check if the target
process/thread is alive.  This needs an extra level of indirection. This
level of indirection is already available in struct pid.

So replace cpu.task with cpu.pid to get the needed extra layer of
indirection.

In addition to handling things more cleanly this reduces the amount of
memory a timer can pin when a process exits and then is reaped from
a task_struct to the vastly smaller struct pid.

Thomas Gleixner 00d9e47f8e posix-cpu-timers: Always clear head pointer on dequeue
The head pointer in struct cpu_timer is checked to be NULL in
posix_cpu_timer_del() when the delete raced with the exit cleanup. The
works correctly as long as the timer is actually dequeued via
posix_cpu_timers_exit*().

But if the timer was dequeued due to expiry the head pointer is still set
and triggers the warning.

In fact keeping the head pointer around after any dequeue is pointless as
is has no meaning at all after that.

Clear the head pointer always on dequeue and remove the unused requeue
function while at it.

Thomas Gleixner 2bbdbdae05 posix-cpu-timers: Get rid of zero checks
Deactivation of the expiry cache is done by setting all clock caches to
0. That requires to have a check for zero in all places which update the
expiry cache:

	if (cache == 0 || new < cache)
		cache = new;

Use U64_MAX as the deactivated value, which allows to remove the zero
checks when updating the cache and reduces it to the obvious check:

	if (new < cache)
		cache = new;

This also removes the weird workaround in do_prlimit() which was required

Thomas Gleixner 11b8462f7e posix-cpu-timers: Provide array based access to expiry cache
Using struct task_cputime for the expiry cache is a pretty odd choice and
comes with magic defines to rename the fields for usage in the expiry
cache.

struct task_cputime is basically a u64 array with 3 members, but it has
distinct members.

The expiry cache content is different than the content of task_cputime
because

  expiry[PROF]  = task_cputime.stime + task_cputime.utime
  expiry[VIRT]  = task_cputime.utime
  expiry[SCHED] = task_cputime.sum_exec_runtime

So there is no direct mapping between task_cputime and the expiry cache and
the #define based remapping is just a horrible hack.

Having the expiry cache array based allows further simplification of the
expiry code.

To avoid an all in one cleanup which is hard to review add a temporary
anonymous union into struct task_cputime which allows array based access to
it. That requires to reorder the members. Add a build time sanity check to
validate that the members are at the same place.

The union and the build time checks will be removed after conversion.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 5d99b32a00 posix-timers: Move rcu_head out of it union
Timer deletion on PREEMPT_RT is prone to priority inversion and live
locks. The hrtimer code has a synchronization mechanism for this. Posix CPU
timers will grow one.

But that mechanism cannot be invoked while holding the k_itimer lock
because that can deadlock against the running timer callback. So the lock
must be dropped which allows the timer to be freed.

The timer free can be prevented by taking RCU readlock before dropping the
lock, but because the rcu_head is part of the 'it' union a concurrent free
will overwrite the hrtimer on which the task is trying to synchronize.

Move the rcu_head out of the union to prevent this.

Eric W. Biederman ae7795bc61 signal: Distinguish between kernel_siginfo and siginfo
Linus recently observed that if we did not worry about the padding
member in struct siginfo it is only about 48 bytes, and 48 bytes is
much nicer than 128 bytes for allocating on the stack and copying
around in the kernel.

The obvious thing of only adding the padding when userspace is
including siginfo.h won't work as there are sigframe definitions in
the kernel that embed struct siginfo.

So split siginfo in two; kernel_siginfo and siginfo.  Keeping the
traditional name for the userspace definition.  While the version that
is used internally to the kernel and ultimately will not be padded to
128 bytes is called kernel_siginfo.

The definition of struct kernel_siginfo I have put in include/signal_types.h

A set of buildtime checks has been added to verify the two structures have
the same field offsets.

To make it easy to verify the change kernel_siginfo retains the same
size as siginfo.  The reduction in size comes in a following change.

Thomas Gleixner 78c9c4dfbf posix-timers: Sanitize overrun handling
The posix timer overrun handling is broken because the forwarding functions
can return a huge number of overruns which does not fit in an int. As a
consequence timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun can turn into
random number generators.

The k_clock::timer_forward() callbacks return a 64 bit value now. Make
k_itimer::ti_overrun[_last] 64bit as well, so the kernel internal
accounting is correct. 3Remove the temporary (int) casts.

Add a helper function which clamps the overrun value returned to user space
via timer_getoverrun(2) or siginfo::si_overrun limited to a positive value
between 0 and INT_MAX. INT_MAX is an indicator for user space that the
overrun value has been clamped.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

As we change the user space type for the timerfd and posix timer
functions to newer data types, we need some form of conversion
helpers to avoid duplicating that logic.

Al Viro edbeda4632 time/posix-timers: Move the compat copyouts to the nanosleep implementations
Turn restart_block.nanosleep.{rmtp,compat_rmtp} into a tagged union (kind =
1 -> native, kind = 2 -> compat, kind = 0 -> nothing) and make the places
doing actual copyout handle compat as well as native (that will become a
helper in the next commit).  Result: compat wrappers, messing with
reassignments, etc. are gone.

Frederic Weisbecker b78783000d posix-cpu-timers: Migrate to use new tick dependency mask model
Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
posix cpu timers tick dependency, migrate the latter to the new mask.

In order to keep track of the running timers and expose the tick
dependency accordingly, we must probe the timers queuing and dequeuing
on threads and process lists.

Unfortunately it implies both task and signal level dependencies. We
should be able to further optimize this and merge all that on the task
level dependency, at the cost of a bit of complexity and may be overhead.

Frederic Weisbecker 55ccb616a6 posix_cpu_timer: consolidate expiry time type
The posix cpu timer expiry time is stored in a union of two types: a 64
bits field if we rely on scheduler precise accounting, or a cputime_t if
we rely on jiffies.

This results in quite some duplicate code and special cases to handle the
two types.

Just unify this into a single 64 bits field.  cputime_t can always fit
into it.

Linus Torvalds 534c97b095 Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
  kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
  or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

  This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
  idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
  reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.

  This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
  the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
  that:

   - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
     to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power.  A periodic timer tick at
     HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%.  This feature
     removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
     typical distro configs even on modern systems.

   - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
     should experience as little jitter as possible.  The last remaining
     source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.

   - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
     especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
     helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.

  The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
  reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
  slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.

  Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
  two NOHZ kconfig modes:

   - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
     as a config option.  This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
     design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
     whether a CPU is idle or not.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
     periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
     tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
     timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
     CPU.

  The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
  CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
  user having to configure anything.  CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
  default.

  This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
  steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
  and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.

  This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature.  The pull
  request is marked RFC because:

   - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
     small but did not get ready in time.

   - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
     window.  The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
     merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
     marked it RFC.

   - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
     while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
     combination is still not very widely used.  That it's default-off
     should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
     known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.

   - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
     equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick.  In
     particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
     on scheduler load-balancing and statistics.  This should not impact
     correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
     feature at this point.

   - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
     enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
     its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
     Without flaming us to crisp! :-)

  Future plans:

   - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
     the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
     CPU.  We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
     for the 0 Hz target though.

   - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
     nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
     as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
     once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.

  I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
  v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
  but the final word is up to you as usual.
