Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A single fix for a ~10 years old problem which causes high resolution timers to stop after a CPU unplug/plug cycle due to a stale flag in the per CPU hrtimer base struct.

hrtimer: Reset hrtimer cpu base proper on CPU hotplug

2018-01-27T14:12:22Z

The hrtimer interrupt code contains a hang detection and mitigation mechanism, which prevents that a long delayed hrtimer interrupt causes a continous retriggering of interrupts which prevent the system from making progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay clears the flag and resumes normal operation. If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and other malfunctions. Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in. Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.

perf/core: Fix ctx::mutex deadlock

2018-01-25T13:48:30Z

Lockdep noticed the following 3-way lockup scenario: sys_perf_event_open() perf_event_alloc() perf_try_init_event() #0 ctx = perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(1) perf_swevent_init() swevent_hlist_get() #1 mutex_lock(&pmus_lock) perf_event_init_cpu() #1 mutex_lock(&pmus_lock) #2 mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex) sys_perf_event_open() mutex_lock_double() #2 mutex_lock() #0 mutex_lock_nested() And while we need that perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() for HW PMUs such that they can iterate the sibling list, trying to match it to the available counters, the software PMUs need do no such thing. Exclude them. In particular the swevent triggers the above invertion, while the tpevent PMU triggers a more elaborate one through their event_mutex.

perf/core: Fix another perf,trace,cpuhp lock inversion

locking/lockdep: Avoid triggering hardlockup from debug_show_all_locks()

2018-01-24T09:00:09Z

debug_show_all_locks() iterates all tasks and print held locks whole holding tasklist_lock. This can take a while on a slow console device and may end up triggering NMI hardlockup detector if someone else ends up waiting for tasklist_lock. Touch the NMI watchdog while printing the held locks to avoid spuriously triggering the hardlockup detector.
