- Extend the perf ABI with PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to offer
two-parameter sampling event feedback. Not used yet, but is intended

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core scheduler updates:
- Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow
distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via
a boot time selection.
There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.
This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of
static calls).
The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.
( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
overhead even with the code patching. )
The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast
majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.
- Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the
underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial
fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the
following consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
- Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a
single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves
one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic.
- Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU
utilization metrics from the scheduler
- Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by
reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the
load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork
performance.

result in too high utilization values

Stop setting dirty bits for MMU pages when dirty logging is disabled for
a memslot, as PML is now completely disabled when there are no memslots
with dirty logging enabled.
This means that spurious PML entries will be created for memslots with
dirty logging disabled if at least one other memslot has dirty logging
enabled. However, spurious PML entries are already possible since
dirty bits are set only when a dirty logging is turned off, i.e. memslots
that are never dirty logged will have dirty bits cleared.
In the end, it's faster overall to eat a few spurious PML entries in the
window where dirty logging is being disabled across all memslots.

Currently, if enable_pml=1 PML remains enabled for the entire lifetime
of the VM irrespective of whether dirty logging is enable or disabled.
When dirty logging is disabled, all the pages of the VM are manually
marked dirty, so that PML is effectively non-operational. Setting
the dirty bits is an expensive operation which can cause severe MMU
lock contention in a performance sensitive path when dirty logging is
disabled after a failed or canceled live migration.
Manually setting dirty bits also fails to prevent PML activity if some
code path clears dirty bits, which can incur unnecessary VM-Exits.
In order to avoid this extra overhead, dynamically enable/disable PML
when dirty logging gets turned on/off for the first/last memslot.

Use the new EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP() / static_call_mod() to unexport

When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module
can use static_call_update() to change the function called. This is
not desirable in general.
Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of
static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the
static_call_site.
Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using
the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the
static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the
trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list.
Doing this requires a trampoline -> key associsation, so add another
magic section that keeps those.

The effort to make the ASM entry code slim and unified moved the irq stack
switching out of the low level ASM code so that the whole return from
interrupt work and state handling can be done in C and the ASM code just
handles the low level details of entry and exit.
This ended up being a suboptimal implementation for various reasons
(including tooling). The main pain points are:
- The indirect call which is expensive thanks to retpoline
- The inability to stay on the irq stack for softirq processing on return
from interrupt
- The fact that the stack switching code ends up being an easy to target
exploit gadget.
Prepare for inlining the stack switching logic into the C entry points by
providing a ASM macro which contains the guts of the switching mechanism:
1) Store RSP at the top of the irq stack
2) Switch RSP to the irq stack
3) Invoke code
4) Pop the original RSP back

The per CPU hardirq_stack_ptr contains the pointer to the irq stack in the
form that it is ready to be assigned to [ER]SP so that the first push ends
up on the top entry of the stack.
But the stack switching on 64 bit has the following rules:
1) Store the current stack pointer (RSP) in the top most stack entry
to allow the unwinder to link back to the previous stack
2) Set RSP to the top most stack entry
3) Invoke functions on the irq stack
4) Pop RSP from the top most stack entry (stored in #1) so it's back
to the original stack.
That requires all stack switching code to decrement the stored pointer by 8
in order to be able to store the current RSP and then set RSP to that
location. That's a pointless exercise.
Do the -8 adjustment right when storing the pointer and make the data type
a void pointer to avoid confusion vs. the struct irq_stack data type which
is on 64bit only used to declare the backing store. Move the definition
next to the inuse flag so they likely end up in the same cache
line. Sticking them into a struct to enforce it is a seperate change.
