Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic
  understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in
  the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this
  series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds
  are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing
  up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts
  of fuse in the next development cycle.

  The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user
  namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which
  started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review
  and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present
  since at least Linux v1.0.

  Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc
  cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things
  turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be
  handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain
  there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some
  of these fixes"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  Revert "evm: Translate user/group ids relative to s_user_ns when computing HMAC"
  exec: Ensure mm-&gt;user_ns contains the execed files
  ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm
  ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAP
  mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Again, cpufreq gets more changes than the other parts this time (one
  new driver, one old driver less, a bunch of enhancements of the
  existing code, new CPU IDs, fixes, cleanups)

  There also are some changes in cpuidle (idle injection rework, a
  couple of new CPU IDs, online/offline rework in intel_idle, fixes and
  cleanups), in the generic power domains framework (mostly related to
  supporting power domains containing CPUs), and in the Operating
  Performance Points (OPP) library (mostly related to supporting devices
  with multiple voltage regulators)

  In addition to that, the system sleep state selection interface is
  modified to make it easier for distributions with unchanged user space
  to support suspend-to-idle as the default system suspend method, some
  issues are fixed in the PM core, the latency tolerance PM QoS
  framework is improved a bit, the Intel RAPL power capping driver is
  cleaned up and there are some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq
  subsystem

  Specifics:

   - New cpufreq driver for Broadcom STB SoCs and a Device Tree binding
     for it (Markus Mayer)

   - Support for ARM Integrator/AP and Integrator/CP in the generic DT
     cpufreq driver and elimination of the old Integrator cpufreq driver

     and PXA SoCs in the the generic DT cpufreq driver (Baoyou Xie,
     Geert Uytterhoeven, Masahiro Yamada, Robert Jarzmik)

   - cpufreq core fix to eliminate races that may lead to using inactive
     policy objects and related cleanups (Rafael Wysocki)

   - cpufreq schedutil governor update to make it use SCHED_FIFO kernel
     threads (instead of regular workqueues) for doing delayed work (to
     reduce the response latency in some cases) and related cleanups
     (Viresh Kumar)

   - New cpufreq sysfs attribute for resetting statistics (Markus Mayer)

   - cpufreq governors fixes and cleanups (Chen Yu, Stratos Karafotis,
     Viresh Kumar)

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The time/timekeeping/timer folks deliver with this update:

   - Fix a reintroduced signed/unsigned issue and cleanup the whole
     signed/unsigned mess in the timekeeping core so this wont happen
     accidentaly again.

   - Add a new trace clock based on boot time

   - Prevent injection of random sleep times when PM tracing abuses the
     RTC for storage

   - Make posix timers configurable for real tiny systems

   - Add tracepoints for the alarm timer subsystem so timer based

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The time/timekeeping/timer folks deliver with this update:

   - Fix a reintroduced signed/unsigned issue and cleanup the whole
     signed/unsigned mess in the timekeeping core so this wont happen
     accidentaly again.

   - Add a new trace clock based on boot time

   - Prevent injection of random sleep times when PM tracing abuses the
     RTC for storage

   - Make posix timers configurable for real tiny systems

   - Add tracepoints for the alarm timer subsystem so timer based
     suspend wakeups can be instrumented

   - The usual pile of fixes and updates to core and drivers"

vfree() is going to use sleeping lock.  Thread stack freed in atomic
context, therefore we must use vfree_atomic() here.

<title>kthread: Make struct kthread kmalloc'ed</title>

commit 23196f2e5f5d "kthread: Pin the stack via try_get_task_stack() /
put_task_stack() in to_live_kthread() function" is a workaround for the
fragile design of struct kthread being allocated on the task stack.

struct kthread in its current form should be removed, but this needs
cleanups outside of kthread.c.

As a first step move struct kthread away from the task stack by making it
kmalloc'ed. This allows to access kthread.exited without the magic of
trying to pin task stack and the try logic in to_live_kthread().

<title>sched/idle: Add support for tasks that inject idle</title>

<id>c1de45ca831acee9b72c9320dde447edafadb43f</id>
<content type='text'>
Idle injection drivers such as Intel powerclamp and ACPI PAD drivers use
realtime tasks to take control of CPU then inject idle. There are two
issues with this approach:

 1. Low efficiency: injected idle task is treated as busy so sched ticks
    do not stop during injected idle period, the result of these
    unwanted wakeups can be ~20% loss in power savings.

 2. Idle accounting: injected idle time is presented to user as busy.

This patch addresses the issues by introducing a new PF_IDLE flag which
allows any given task to be treated as idle task while the flag is set.
Therefore, idle injection tasks can run through the normal flow of NOHZ
idle enter/exit to get the correct accounting as well as tick stop when
possible.

The implication is that idle task is then no longer limited to PID == 0.

<title>mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks</title>

During exec dumpable is cleared if the file that is being executed is
not readable by the user executing the file.  A bug in
ptrace_may_access allows reading the file if the executable happens to
enter into a subordinate user namespace (aka clone(CLONE_NEWUSER),
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER), or setns(fd, CLONE_NEWUSER).

This problem is fixed with only necessary userspace breakage by adding
a user namespace owner to mm_struct, captured at the time of exec, so
it is clear in which user namespace CAP_SYS_PTRACE must be present in
to be able to safely give read permission to the executable.

The function ptrace_may_access is modified to verify that the ptracer
has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in task-&gt;mm-&gt;user_ns instead of task-&gt;cred-&gt;user_ns.
This ensures that if the task changes it's cred into a subordinate
user namespace it does not become ptraceable.

The function ptrace_attach is modified to only set PT_PTRACE_CAP when
CAP_SYS_PTRACE is held over task-&gt;mm-&gt;user_ns.  The intent of
PT_PTRACE_CAP is to be a flag to note that whatever permission changes
the task might go through the tracer has sufficient permissions for
it not to be an issue.  task-&gt;cred-&gt;user_ns is always the same
as or descendent of mm-&gt;user_ns.  Which guarantees that having
CAP_SYS_PTRACE over mm-&gt;user_ns is the worst case for the tasks
credentials.

To prevent regressions mm-&gt;dumpable and mm-&gt;user_ns are not considered
when a task has no mm.  As simply failing ptrace_may_attach causes
regressions in privileged applications attempting to read things
such as /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/stat
