5a4ccaf37f kprobes: check CONFIG_FREEZER instead of CONFIG_PM
Check CONFIG_FREEZER instead of CONFIG_PM because kprobe booster
depends on freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

This fixes a linkage error which occurs when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, CONFIG_PM=y
and CONFIG_FREEZER=n.

74296a8ed6 irq: provide debug_poll_all_shared_irqs() method under CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ
Provide a shared interrupt debug facility under CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ:
it uses the existing irqpoll facilities to iterate through all
registered interrupt handlers and call those which can handle shared
IRQ lines.

This can be handy for suspend/resume debugging: if we call this function
early during resume we can trigger crashes in those drivers which have
incorrect assumptions about when exactly their ISRs will be called
during suspend/resume.

2d68259db2 clockevents: let set_mode() setup delta information
Allow the set_mode() clockevent callback to decide and fill in delta
details such as shift, mult, max_delta_ns and min_delta_ns.

With this change the clockevent can be registered without delta details
which allows us to keep the parent clock disabled until the clockevent
gets setup using set_mode().

Letting set_mode() fill in or update delta details allows us to save
power by disabling the parent clock while the clockevent is unused.
This may however make the parent clock rate change, so next time the
clockevent gets enabled we need let set_mode() to update the detla
details accordingly. Doing it at registration time is not enough.

Furthermore, the delta details seem unused in the case of periodic-only
clockevent drivers, so this change also allows registration of such
drivers without the delta details filled in.

e17036dac1 sched: fix update_min_vruntime
Impact: fix SCHED_IDLE latency problems

OK, so we have 1 running task A (which is obviously curr and the tree is
equally obviously empty).

'A' nicely chugs along, doing its thing, carrying min_vruntime along as it
goes.

Then some whacko speed freak SCHED_IDLE task gets inserted due to SMP
balancing, which is very likely far right, in that case

update_curr
  update_min_vruntime
    cfs_rq->rb_leftmost := true (the crazy task sitting in a tree)
      vruntime = se->vruntime

and voila, min_vruntime is waaay right of where it ought to be.

OK, so why did I write it like that to begin with...

Aah, yes.

Say we've just dequeued current

schedule
  deactivate_task(prev)
    dequeue_entity
      update_min_vruntime

Then we'll set

  vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime;

we find !cfs_rq->curr, but do find someone in the tree. Then we _must_
do vruntime = se->vruntime, because

 vruntime = min_vruntime(vruntime := cfs_rq->min_vruntime, se->vruntime)

will not advance vruntime, and cause lags the other way around (which we
fixed with that initial patch: 1af5f730fc1bf7c62ec9fb2d307206e18bf40a69

98a4826b99 sched: fix bandwidth validation for UID grouping

For UID grouping we initialize the root group with infinite bandwidth
which by default is actually more than the global limit, therefore the
bandwidth check always fails.

Because the root group is a phantom group (for UID grouping) we cannot
runtime adjust it, therefore we let it reflect the global bandwidth
settings.

e52fb7c097 sched: prefer wakers
Prefer tasks that wake other tasks to preempt quickly. This improves
performance because more work is available sooner.

The workload that prompted this patch was a kernel build over NFS4 (for some
curious and not understood reason we had to revert commit:
18de9735300756e3ca9c361ef58409d8561dfe0d to make any progress at all)

Without this patch a make -j8 bzImage (of x86-64 defconfig) would take
3m30-ish, with this patch we're down to 2m50-ish.

psql-sysbench/mysql-sysbench show a slight improvement in peak performance as
well, tbench and vmark seemed to not care.

It is possible to improve upon the build time (to 2m20-ish) but that seriously
destroys other benchmarks (just shows that there's more room for tinkering).

Much thanks to Mike who put in a lot of effort to benchmark things and proved
a worthy opponent with a competing patch.

baf48f6577 softlock: fix false panic which can occur if softlockup_thresh is reduced
At run-time, if softlockup_thresh is changed to a much lower value,
touch_timestamp is likely to be much older than the new softlock_thresh.

This will cause a false softlockup to be detected. If softlockup_panic
is enabled, the system will panic.

The fix is to touch all watchdogs before changing softlockup_thresh.
