This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "There's not much changes for the tracing system this release. Mostly
  small clean ups and fixes.

  The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by
  trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call, and
  the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is done to
  keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended by
  you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced.

  If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl", when
  the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then. The
  problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the kernel to
  oops.

  The fix for this was to make these de-reference pointes do the
  formatting at the time it is called (the fast path), as this
  guarantees that the data exists (and doesn't change later)"

* tag 'trace-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  vsprintf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers
  ftrace: Mark function tracer test functions noinline/noclone

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

Always mark the parsed string with a terminated nul '\0' character. This removes
the need for the users to have to append the '\0' before using the parsed string.

User space can pass in a C nul character '\0' along with its input. The
function trace_get_user() will try to process it as a normal character,
and that will fail to parse.

open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing//set_ftrace_pid", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC) = 3
write(3, " \0", 2)                      = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

while parse can handle spaces, so below works.

$ echo "" &gt; set_ftrace_pid
$ echo " " &gt; set_ftrace_pid
$ echo -n " " &gt; set_ftrace_pid

Have the parser stop on '\0' and cease any further parsing. Only process
the characters up to the nul '\0' character and do not process it.

With the addition of ORC unwinder and FRAME POINTER unwinder, the stack
trace skipping requirements have changed.

I went through the tracing stack trace dumps with ORC and with frame
pointers and recalculated the proper values.

With the addition of ORC unwinder and FRAME POINTER unwinder, the stack
trace skipping requirements have changed.

I went through the tracing stack trace dumps with ORC and with frame
pointers and recalculated the proper values.

Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:

- Updates to use cond_resched() instead of cond_resched_rcu_qs()
  where feasible (currently everywhere except in kernel/rcu and
  in kernel/torture.c).  Also a couple of fixes to avoid sending
  IPIs to offline CPUs.

- Updates to simplify RCU's dyntick-idle handling.

- Updates to remove almost all uses of smp_read_barrier_depends()
  and read_barrier_depends().

- Miscellaneous fixes.

- Torture-test updates.

Jing Xia and Chunyan Zhang reported that on failing to allocate part of the
tracing buffer, memory is freed, but the pointers that point to them are not
initialized back to NULL, and later paths may try to free the freed memory
again. Jing and Chunyan fixed one of the locations that does this, but
missed a spot.
