Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
  fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
  code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
  release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
  test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
  suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
  some other contributors.

  One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
  he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
  header tables:

    * .altinstructions
    * __bug_table sections

  A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
  of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
  determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
  exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
  handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
  implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
  just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
  alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
  BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
  really shouldn't be a big deal.

  The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
  kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
  after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
  preemption. This is only used on module decompression.

  This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
  has been there for 3 weeks"

   - threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default
     due to latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is required for kernel live patching which is a
common use case that is enabled in some major distros. Update the
Kconfig help text to reflect that.

<title>kbuild: drop support for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3</title>

<content type='text'>
The difference in most compilers between `-O3` and `-O2` is mostly down
to whether loops with statically determinable trip counts are fully
unrolled vs unrolled to a multiple of SIMD width.

This patch is effectively a revert of
commit 15f5db60a137 ("kbuild,arc: add
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for ARC") without re-adding
ARCH_CFLAGS

Ever since
commit cfdbc2e16e65 ("ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker
script")
ARC has been built with -O3, though the reason for doing so was not
specified in inline comments or the commit message. This commit does not
re-add -O3 to arch/arc/Makefile.

Folks looking to experiment with `-O3` (or any compiler flag for that
matter) may pass them along to the command line invocation of make:

$ make KCFLAGS=-O3

Code that looks to re-add an explicit Kconfig option for `-O3` should
provide:
1. A rigorous and reproducible performance profile of a reasonable
   userspace workload that demonstrates a hot loop in the kernel that
   would benefit from `-O3` over `-O2`.
2. Disassembly of said loop body before and after.
3. Provides stats on terms of increase in file size.

<title>cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional</title>

<content type='text'>
3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.

This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.

Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.
