Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in the timer code in this cycle were:

   - Clockevent updates:

      - timer-of framework cleanups. (Geert Uytterhoeven)

      - Use timer-of for the renesas-ostm and the device name to prevent
        name collision in case of multiple timers. (Geert Uytterhoeven)

      - Check if there is an error after calling of_clk_get in asm9260
        (Chuhong Yuan)

   - ABI fix: Zero out high order bits of nanoseconds on compat
     syscalls. This got broken a year ago, with apparently no side
     effects so far.

     Since the kernel would use random data otherwise I don't think we'd
     have other options but to fix the bug, even if there was a side
     effect to applications (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Optimize ns_to_timespec64() on 32-bit systems: move away from
     div_s64_rem() which can be slow, to div_u64_rem() which is faster
     (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Annotate KCSAN-reported false positive data races in
     hrtimer_is_queued() users by moving timer-&gt;state handling over to
     the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() APIs. This documents these accesses
     (Eric Dumazet)

   - Misc cleanups and small fixes"

[ I undid the "ABI fix" and updated the comments instead. The reason
  there were apparently no side effects is that the fix was a no-op.

  The updated comment is to say _why_ it was a no-op.    - Linus ]

* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  time: Zero the upper 32-bits in __kernel_timespec on 32-bit

  hrtimer: Remove the comment about not used HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ
  time: Fix spelling mistake in comment

Pull pipe rework from David Howells:
 "This is my set of preparatory patches for building a general
  notification queue on top of pipes. It makes a number of significant
  changes:

   - It removes the nr_exclusive argument from __wake_up_sync_key() as
     this is always 1. This prepares for the next step:

   - Adds wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() so that poll can be
     woken up from a function that's holding the poll waitqueue
     spinlock.

   - Change the pipe buffer ring to be managed in terms of unbounded
     head and tail indices rather than bounded index and length. This
     means that reading the pipe only needs to modify one index, not
     two.

   - A selection of helper functions are provided to query the state of
     the pipe buffer, plus a couple to apply updates to the pipe
     indices.

   - The pipe ring is allowed to have kernel-reserved slots. This allows
     many notification messages to be spliced in by the kernel without
     allowing userspace to pin too many pages if it writes to the same
     pipe.

   - Advance the head and tail indices inside the pipe waitqueue lock
     and use wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() to poke poll
     without having to take the lock twice.

   - Rearrange pipe_write() to preallocate the buffer it is going to
     write into and then drop the spinlock. This allows kernel
     notifications to then be added the ring whilst it is filling the
     buffer it allocated. The read side is stalled because the pipe
     mutex is still held.

   - Don't wake up readers on a pipe if there was already data in it
     when we added more.

   - Don't wake up writers on a pipe if the ring wasn't full before we
     removed a buffer"

mm_release() contains the futex exit handling. mm_release() is called from
do_exit()-&gt;exit_mm() and from exec()-&gt;exec_mm().

In the exit_mm() case PF_EXITING and the futex state is updated. In the
exec_mm() case these states are not touched.

As the futex exit code needs further protections against exit races, this
needs to be split into two functions.

Preparatory only, no functional change.

<title>sched/membarrier: Fix p-&gt;mm-&gt;membarrier_state racy load</title>

<id>urn:sha1:227a4aadc75ba22fcb6c4e1c078817b8cbaae4ce</id>
<content type='text'>
The membarrier_state field is located within the mm_struct, which
is not guaranteed to exist when used from runqueue-lock-free iteration
on runqueues by the membarrier system call.

Copy the membarrier_state from the mm_struct into the scheduler runqueue
when the scheduler switches between mm.

When registering membarrier for mm, after setting the registration bit
in the mm membarrier state, issue a synchronize_rcu() to ensure the
scheduler observes the change. In order to take care of the case
where a runqueue keeps executing the target mm without swapping to
other mm, iterate over each runqueue and issue an IPI to copy the
membarrier_state from the mm_struct into each runqueue which have the
same mm which state has just been modified.

Move the mm membarrier_state field closer to pgd in mm_struct to use
a cache line already touched by the scheduler switch_mm.

The membarrier_execve() (now membarrier_exec_mmap) hook now needs to
clear the runqueue's membarrier state in addition to clear the mm
membarrier state, so move its implementation into the scheduler
membarrier code so it can access the runqueue structure.

Add memory barrier in membarrier_exec_mmap() prior to clearing
the membarrier state, ensuring memory accesses executed prior to exec
are not reordered with the stores clearing the membarrier state.

As suggested by Linus, move all membarrier.c RCU read-side locks outside
of the for each cpu loops.

<title>sched/fair: Don't free p-&gt;numa_faults with concurrent readers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33</id>
<content type='text'>
When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed -&gt;numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make -&gt;numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

<content type='text'>
The function force_sigsegv is always called on the current task
so passing in current is redundant and not passing in current
makes this fact obvious.

This also makes it clear force_sigsegv always calls force_sig
on the current task.
