      Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "Most of the changes relate to Peter Zijlstra's cleanup of ptregs
        handling, in particular the i386 part is now much simplified and
        standardized - no more partial ptregs stack frames via the esp/ss
        oddity. This simplifies ftrace, kprobes, the unwinder, ptrace, kdump
        and kgdb.
      
        There's also a CR4 hardening enhancements by Kees Cook, to make the
        generic platform functions such as native_write_cr4() less useful as
        ROP gadgets that disable SMEP/SMAP. Also protect the WP bit of CR0
        against similar attacks.
      
        The rest is smaller cleanups/fixes"

      Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
      
       - Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by
         Dietmar Eggemann.
      
       - Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
         refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
         boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
         sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
         sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
         governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.
      
       - Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
         testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
         power management features, including energy aware scheduling.
      
       - Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
         kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
         migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of
         taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
         Andrzej Siewior.
      
       - Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
         Git log for details.

      Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main changes in this cycle are:
      
         - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
           rather impressive:
      
             "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
              and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
              done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:
      
               40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
               40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255
      
              After the patchset, they became:
      
               40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
               40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"
      
           There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
           it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
           locking.
      
           Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
           improvements are:
      
             "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
              total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
              with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
              after this patchset were:
      
              # of Threads   Before Patch      After Patch
              ------------   ------------      -----------
                   2            2,618             4,193
                   4            1,202             3,726
                   8              802             3,622

                  64              102             2,744"
      
           The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
           several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
           might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
           believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
           going forward.
      
         - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
           motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
           CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
           updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
           kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
           overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
           as well.
      
         - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
           ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
           APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
           which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
           Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
           implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
           to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
           return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.
      
         - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
           cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
           all around the place.
      
         - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.
      
         - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

       "A rather large series consolidating the HPET code, which was triggered

        This mainly removes two separate partially redundant storage layers

      Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Updates for x86 CPU features:
      
         - Support for UMWAIT/UMONITOR, which allows to use MWAIT and MONITOR
           instructions in user space to save power e.g. in HPC workloads
           which spin wait on synchronization points.
      
           The maximum time a MWAIT can halt in userspace is controlled by the
           kernel and can be adjusted by the sysadmin.
      
         - Speed up the MTRR handling code on CPUs which support cache
           self-snooping correctly.
      
           On those CPUs the wbinvd() invocations can be omitted which speeds
           up the MTRR setup by a factor of 50.
      
         - Support for the new x86 vendor Zhaoxin who develops processors
           based on the VIA Centaur technology.
      
         - Prevent 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' from affecting isolated NOHZ_FULL CPUs
           by sending IPIs to retrieve the CPU frequency and use the cached
           values instead.
      
         - The addition and late revert of the FSGSBASE support. The revert
           was required as it turned out that the code still has hard to
           diagnose issues. Yet another engineering trainwreck...

           family/model addons"

      Pull x96 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Updates for the x86 APIC interrupt handling and APIC timer:
      
         - Fix a long standing issue with spurious interrupts which was caused
           by the big vector management rework a few years ago. Robert Hodaszi
           provided finally enough debug data and an excellent initial failure
           analysis which allowed to understand the underlying issues.
      
           This contains a change to the core interrupt management code which
           is required to handle this correctly for the APIC/IO_APIC. The core
           changes are NOOPs for most architectures except ARM64. ARM64 is not
           impacted by the change as confirmed by Marc Zyngier.
      
         - Newer systems allow to disable the PIT clock for power saving
           causing panic in the timer interrupt delivery check of the IO/APIC
           when the HPET timer is not enabled either. While the clock could be
           turned on this would cause an endless whack a mole game to chase
           the proper register in each affected chipset.
      
           These systems provide the relevant frequencies for TSC, CPU and the
           local APIC timer via CPUID and/or MSRs, which allows to avoid the
           PIT/HPET based calibration. As the calibration code is the only
           usage of the legacy timers on modern systems and is skipped anyway
           when the frequencies are known already, there is no point in
           setting up the PIT and actually checking for the interrupt delivery
           via IO/APIC.
      
           To achieve this on a wide variety of platforms, the CPUID/MSR based
           frequency readout has been made more robust, which also allowed to
           remove quite some workarounds which turned out to be not longer
           required. Thanks to Daniel Drake for analysis, patches and
           verification"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:
      
       - Improve stop_machine wait logic: replace cpu_relax_yield call in
         generic stop_machine function with a weak stop_machine_yield
         function. This is overridden on s390, which yields the current cpu to
         the neighbouring cpu after a couple of retries, instead of blindly
         giving up the cpu to the hipervisor. This significantly improves
         stop_machine performance on s390 in overcommitted scenarios.
      
         This includes common code changes which have been Acked by Peter
         Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner.
      
       - Improve jump label transformation speed: transform jump labels
         without using stop_machine.
      
       - Refactoring of the vfio-ccw cp handling, simplifying the code and
         avoiding unneeded allocating/copying.
      
       - Various vfio-ccw fixes (ccw translation, state machine).
      
       - Add support for vfio-ap queue interrupt control in the guest. This
         includes s390 kvm changes which have been Acked by Christian
         Borntraeger.
      
       - Add protected virtualization support for virtio-ccw.
      
       - Enforce both CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, which allows to
         remove some code which most likely isn't working at all, besides that
         s390 didn't even compile for !CONFIG_SMP.
      
       - Support for special flagged EP11 CPRBs for zcrypt.
      
       - Handle PCI devices with no support for new MIO instructions.
      
       - Avoid KASAN false positives in reworked stack unwinder.
      
       - Couple of fixes for the QDIO layer.
      
       - Convert s390 specific documentation to ReST format.
      
       - Let s390 crypto modules return -ENODEV instead of -EOPNOTSUPP if
         hardware is missing. This way our modules behave like most other
         modules and which is also what systemd's systemd-modules-load.service
         expects.
      
       - Replace defconfig with performance_defconfig, so there is one config
         file less to maintain.
