Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - Make kcpustat vtime aware (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Rework the CFS load_balance() logic (Vincent Guittot)

   - Misc cleanups, smaller enhancements, fixes.

  The load-balancing rework is the most intrusive change: it replaces
  the old heuristics that have become less meaningful after the
  introduction of the PELT metrics, with a grounds-up load-balancing
  algorithm.

  As such it's not really an iterative series, but replaces the old
  load-balancing logic with the new one. We hope there are no
  performance regressions left - but statistically it's highly probable
  that there *is* going to be some workload that is hurting from these
  chnages. If so then we'd prefer to have a look at that workload and
  fix its scheduling, instead of reverting the changes"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A lot of stuff has been going on this cycle, with improving the
  support for networked IO (and hence unbounded request completion
  times) being one of the major themes. There's been a set of fixes done
  this week, I'll send those out as well once we're certain we're fully
  happy with them.

  This contains:

   - Unification of the "normal" submit path and the SQPOLL path (Pavel)

   - Support for sparse (and bigger) file sets, and updating of those
     file sets without needing to unregister/register again.

   - Independently sized CQ ring, instead of just making it always 2x
     the SQ ring size. This makes it more flexible for networked
     applications.

   - Support for overflowed CQ ring, never dropping events but providing
     backpressure on submits.

   - Add support for absolute timeouts, not just relative ones.

   - Support for generic cancellations. This divorces io_uring from
     workqueues as well, which additionally gets us one step closer to
     generic async system call support.

   - With cancellations, we can support grabbing the process file table
     as well, just like we do mm context. This allows support for system
     calls that create file descriptors, like accept4() support that's
     built on top of that.

   - Support for io_uring tracing (Dmitrii)

   - Support for linked timeouts. These abort an operation if it isn't
     completed by the time noted in the linke timeout.

   - Speedup tracking of poll requests

   - Various cleanups making the coder easier to follow (Jackie, Pavel,
     Bob, YueHaibing, me)

   - Update MAINTAINERS with new io_uring list"

Some uclamp helpers had their return type changed from 'unsigned int' to
'enum uclamp_id' by commit

  0413d7f33e60 ("sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values")

but it happens that some do return a value in the [0, SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE]
range, which should really be unsigned int. The affected helpers are
uclamp_none(), uclamp_rq_max_value() and uclamp_eff_value(). Fix those up.

Note that this doesn't lead to any obj diff using a relatively recent
aarch64 compiler (8.3-2019.03). The current code of e.g. uclamp_eff_value()
properly returns an 11 bit value (bits_per(1024)) and doesn't seem to do
anything funny. I'm still marking this as fixing the above commit to be on
the safe side.

uclamp_update_active() should perform the update when
p-&gt;uclamp[clamp_id].active is true. But when the logic was inverted in
[1], the if condition wasn't inverted correctly too.

While seemingly harmless, __sched_fork() does hrtimer_init(), which,
when DEBUG_OBJETS, can end up doing allocations.

This then results in the following lock order:

  rq-&gt;lock
    zone-&gt;lock.rlock
      batched_entropy_u64.lock

Which in turn causes deadlocks when we do wakeups while holding that
batched_entropy lock -- as the random code does.

Solve this by moving __sched_fork() out from under rq-&gt;lock. This is
safe because nothing there relies on rq-&gt;lock, as also evident from the
other __sched_fork() callsite.

Ever since we moved the sched_class definitions into their own files,
the constant expression {fair,idle}_sched_class.pick_next_task() is
not in fact a compile time constant anymore and results in an indirect
call (barring LTO).

Fix that by exposing pick_next_task_{fair,idle}() directly, this gets
rid of the indirect call (and RETPOLINE) on the fast path.

Also remove the unlikely() from the idle case, it is in fact /the/ way
we select idle -- and that is a very common thing to do.

Performance for will-it-scale/sched_yield improves by 2% (as reported
by 0-day).

Only pick_next_task_fair() needs the @prev and @rf argument; these are
required to implement the cpu-cgroup optimization. None of the other
pick_next_task() methods need this. Make pick_next_task_idle() more
consistent.
