When NEWLY_IDLE load balance is not triggered, we might need to update the blocked load anyway. We can kick an ilb so an idle CPU will take care of updating blocked load or we can try to update them locally before entering idle. In the latter case, we reuse part of the nohz_idle_balance.

We're going to want to call nohz_idle_balance() or parts thereof from idle_balance(). Since we already have a forward declaration of idle_balance() move it down such that it's below nohz_idle_balance() avoiding the need for a forward declaration for that.

Instead of using the cfs_rq_is_decayed() which monitors all *_avg and *_sum, we create a cfs_rq_has_blocked() which only takes care of util_avg and load_avg. We are only interested by these 2 values which are decaying faster than the *_sum so we can stop the periodic update earlier.

Stopped the periodic update of blocked load when all idle CPUs have fully decayed. We introduce a new nohz.has_blocked that reflect if some idle CPUs has blocked load that have to be periodiccally updated. nohz.has_blocked is set everytime that a Idle CPU can have blocked load and it is then clear when no more blocked load has been detected during an update. We don't need atomic operation but only to make cure of the right ordering when updating nohz.idle_cpus_mask and nohz.has_blocked.

The primary observation is that nohz enter/exit is always from the current CPU, therefore NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED does not in fact need to be an atomic. Secondary is that we appear to have 2 nearly identical hooks in the nohz enter code, set_cpu_sd_state_idle() and nohz_balance_enter_idle(). Fold the whole set_cpu_sd_state thing into nohz_balance_{enter,exit}_idle. Removes an atomic op from both enter and exit paths.

Split the NOHZ idle balancer into doing two separate actions: - update blocked load statistic - actually load-balance Since the latter requires the former, ensure this happens.

Instead of trying to duplicate scheduler state to track if an RT task is running, directly use the scheduler runqueue state for it. This vastly simplifies things and fixes a number of bugs related to sugov and the scheduler getting out of sync wrt this state.

Due to using GCC defines for configuration, some labels might be unused in certain configurations. While adding a __maybe_unused to the label is fine in general, the line has to be terminated with ';'. This is also reflected in the GCC documentation, but GCC parsed the previous variant without an error message. This has been spotted while compiling with goto-cc, the compiler for the CPROVER tool suite.

This reverts commit 48282969 which caused the following issues: 1. On T460p with BIOS version 2.22 touchpad and trackpoint stop working after suspend-resume cycle. Due to strange state of the device another suspend is impossible. The following dmesg errors can be observed: thinkpad_acpi: EC reports that Thermal Table has changed rmi4_smbus 7-002c: failed to get SMBus version number! rmi4_physical rmi4-00: rmi_driver_reset_handler: Failed to read current IRQ mask. rmi4_f01 rmi4-00.fn01: Failed to restore normal operation: -16. rmi4_f01 rmi4-00.fn01: Resume failed with code -16. rmi4_physical rmi4-00: Failed to suspend functions: -16 rmi4_smbus 7-002c: Failed to resume device: -16 PM: resume devices took 0.640 seconds rmi4_f03 rmi4-00.fn03: rmi_f03_pt_write: Failed to write to F03 TX register (-16). rmi4_physical rmi4-00: rmi_driver_clear_irq_bits: Failed to change enabled interrupts! rmi4_physical rmi4-00: rmi_driver_set_irq_bits: Failed to change enabled interrupts! psmouse: probe of serio3 failed with error -1 2. On another T460p with BIOS version 2.15 two finger scrolling gesture on the touchpad stops working after suspend-resume cycle (about 75% reproducibility, when it still works, the scrolling gesture becomes laggy). Nothing suspicious appears in the dmesg. Analysis form Richard Schütz: "RMI is unreliable on the ThinkPad T460p because the device is affected by the firmware behavior addressed in a7ae8195 ("i2c: i801: Allow ACPI SystemIO OpRegion to conflict with PCI BAR")."

It turns out that commit 3229c18c0d6b2 'Fixes to "Implement iomap for block_map"' introduced another bug in gfs2_iomap_begin that can cause gfs2_block_map to set bh->b_size of an actual buffer to 0.

when a system call is interrupted we might call the critical section cleanup handler that re-does some of the operations. When we are between .Lsysc_vtime and .Lsysc_do_svc we might also redo the saving of the problem state registers r0-r7: .Lcleanup_system_call: [...] 0: # update accounting time stamp mvc __LC_LAST_UPDATE_TIMER(8),__LC_SYNC_ENTER_TIMER # set up saved register r11 lg %r15,__LC_KERNEL_STACK la %r9,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD(%r15) stg %r9,24(%r11) # r11 pt_regs pointer # fill pt_regs mvc __PT_R8(64,%r9),__LC_SAVE_AREA_SYNC ---> stmg %r0,%r7,__PT_R0(%r9) The problem is now, that we might have already zeroed out r0.

Due to an oversight when refactoring siginfo_t si_pkey has been in the wrong position since 4.16-rc1. Add an explicit check of the offset of every user space field in siginfo_t and compat_siginfo_t to make a mistake like this hard to make in the future.

The change moving addr_lsb into the _sigfault union failed to take into account that _sigfault._addr_bnd._lower being a pointer forced the entire union to have pointer alignment.

Stephen Hemminger says: ==================== hv_netvsc: minor fixes These are improvements to netvsc driver. They aren't functionality changes so not targeting net-next; and they are not show stopper bugs that need to go to stable either. v2 - drop the irq flags patch, defer it to net-next - split the multicast filter flag patch out - change propogate rx mode patch to handle startup of vf ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
