Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timekeeping and timers departement provides:

   - Time namespace support:

     If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects
     that clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
     disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime
     these clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst
     case time goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX
     requirements.

     The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets
     for clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before
     tasks are associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken
     into account by timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.

     Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided
     by this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
     complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric
     potential use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.

     The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (ie where host time
     offsets = 0) is in the noise and great effort was made to ensure
     that especially in the VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the
     kernel configuration the code is compiled out.

     Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this
     feature and kept on for more than a year addressing review
     comments, finding better solutions. A pleasant experience.

   - Overhaul of the alarmtimer device dependency handling to ensure
     that the init/suspend/resume ordering is correct.

   - A new clocksource/event driver for Microchip PIT64

   - Suspend/resume support for the Hyper-V clocksource

   - The usual pile of fixes, updates and improvements mostly in the
     driver code"

The name mmu_notifier_mm implies that the thing is a mm_struct pointer,
and is difficult to abbreviate. The struct is actually holding the
interval tree and hlist containing the notifiers subscribed to a mm.

Use 'subscriptions' as the variable name for this struct instead of the
really terrible and misleading 'mmn_mm'.

Time Namespace isolates clock values.

The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc.

CLOCK_REALTIME
      System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time.

CLOCK_MONOTONIC
      Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since
      some unspecified starting point.

CLOCK_BOOTTIME
      Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time
      that the system is suspended.

For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and
time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME). Providing per namespace notions of
CLOCK_REALTIME would be complex with a massive overhead, but has a dubious
value.

But in the context of checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and
boottime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with
unspecified starting points. These clocks are widely used to measure time
slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, it has to be
guaranteed that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of
these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is
suspended. All this means that it is required to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, which can be achieved by adding per-namespace
offsets for clocks.

A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in the way how it is
created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace,
but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of the process
will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can use the setns()
system call to join a namespace.

This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any
processes appear in it.

All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the highest
bit of CSIGNAL. It means that it can be used only with the unshare() and
the clone3() system calls.

[ tglx: Adjusted paragraph about clone3() to reality and massaged the
  	changelog a bit. ]

value from the registers containing the syscall arguments for
clone. This doesn't work with clone3 since the TLS value is passed

Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in the timer code in this cycle were:

   - Clockevent updates:

      - timer-of framework cleanups. (Geert Uytterhoeven)

      - Use timer-of for the renesas-ostm and the device name to prevent
        name collision in case of multiple timers. (Geert Uytterhoeven)

      - Check if there is an error after calling of_clk_get in asm9260
        (Chuhong Yuan)

   - ABI fix: Zero out high order bits of nanoseconds on compat
     syscalls. This got broken a year ago, with apparently no side
     effects so far.

     Since the kernel would use random data otherwise I don't think we'd
     have other options but to fix the bug, even if there was a side
     effect to applications (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Optimize ns_to_timespec64() on 32-bit systems: move away from
     div_s64_rem() which can be slow, to div_u64_rem() which is faster
     (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Annotate KCSAN-reported false positive data races in
     hrtimer_is_queued() users by moving timer-&gt;state handling over to
     the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() APIs. This documents these accesses
     (Eric Dumazet)

   - Misc cleanups and small fixes"

[ I undid the "ABI fix" and updated the comments instead. The reason
  there were apparently no side effects is that the fix was a no-op.

  The updated comment is to say _why_ it was a no-op.    - Linus ]

   - Misc cleanups and small fixes"

[ I undid the "ABI fix" and updated the comments instead. The reason
  there were apparently no side effects is that the fix was a no-op.

  The updated comment is to say _why_ it was a no-op.    - Linus ]

<title>fork: support VMAP_STACK with KASAN_VMALLOC</title>

Supporting VMAP_STACK with KASAN_VMALLOC is straightforward:

 - clear the shadow region of vmapped stacks when swapping them in
 - tweak Kconfig to allow VMAP_STACK to be turned on with KASAN

Pull hmm updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "This is another round of bug fixing and cleanup. This time the focus
  is on the driver pattern to use mmu notifiers to monitor a VA range.
  This code is lifted out of many drivers and hmm_mirror directly into
  the mmu_notifier core and written using the best ideas from all the
  driver implementations.

  This removes many bugs from the drivers and has a very pleasing
  diffstat. More drivers can still be converted, but that is for another
  cycle.

   - A shared branch with RDMA reworking the RDMA ODP implementation

   - New mmu_interval_notifier API. This is focused on the use case of
     monitoring a VA and simplifies the process for drivers

   - A common seq-count locking scheme built into the
     mmu_interval_notifier API usable by drivers that call
     get_user_pages() or hmm_range_fault() with the VA range

   - Conversion of mlx5 ODP, hfi1, radeon, nouveau, AMD GPU, and Xen
     GntDev drivers to the new API. This deletes a lot of wonky driver
     code.

   - Two improvements for hmm_range_fault(), from testing done by Ralph"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"
