Pull more cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Three more patches to fix cgroup_freezer breakage due to the recent
  cgroup internal locking changes - an operation cgroup_freezer was
  using now requires sleepable context and cgroup_freezer was invoking
  that while holding a spin lock.  cgroup_freezer was using an overly
  elaborate hierarchical locking scheme.

  While it's possible to convert the hierarchical spinlocks directly to
  mutexes, this patch simplifies the overall locking so that it uses a
  global mutex.  This has the added benefit of avoiding iterating
  potentially huge number of tasks under a spinlock.  While the patch is
  on the larger side in the devel cycle, the changes made are mostly
  straight-forward and the locking logic is a lot simpler afterwards"

While updating cgroup_freezer locking, 68fafb77d827 ("cgroup_freezer:
replace freezer-&gt;lock with freezer_mutex") introduced a bug in
update_if_frozen() where it returns with rcu_read_lock() held.  Fix it
by adding rcu_read_unlock() before returning.

After 96d365e0b86e ("cgroup: make css_set_lock a rwsem and rename it
to css_set_rwsem"), css task iterators requires sleepable context as
it may block on css_set_rwsem.  I missed that cgroup_freezer was
iterating tasks under IRQ-safe spinlock freezer-&gt;lock.  This leads to
errors like the following on freezer state reads and transitions.

freezer-&gt;lock used to be used in hot paths but that time is long gone
and there's no reason for the lock to be IRQ-safe spinlock or even
per-cgroup.  In fact, given the fact that a cgroup may contain large
number of tasks, it's not a good idea to iterate over them while
holding IRQ-safe spinlock.

Let's simplify locking by replacing per-cgroup freezer-&gt;lock with
global freezer_mutex.  This also makes the comments explaining the
intricacies of policy inheritance and the locking around it as the
states are protected by a common mutex.

The conversion is mostly straight-forward.  The followings are worth
mentioning.

* freezer_css_online() no longer needs double locking.

* freezer_attach() now performs propagation simply while holding
  freezer_mutex.  update_if_frozen() race no longer exists and the
  comment is removed.

* freezer_fork() now tests whether the task is in root cgroup using
  the new task_css_is_root() without doing rcu_read_lock/unlock().  If
  not, it grabs freezer_mutex and performs the operation.

* freezer_read() and freezer_change_state() grab freezer_mutex across
  the whole operation and pin the css while iterating so that each
  descendant processing happens in sleepable context.

Determining the css of a task usually requires RCU read lock as that's
the only thing which keeps the returned css accessible till its
reference is acquired; however, testing whether a task belongs to the
root can be performed without dereferencing the returned css by
comparing the returned pointer against the root one in init_css_set[]
which never changes.

Implement task_css_is_root() which can be invoked in any context.
This will be used by the scheduled cgroup_freezer change.

v2: cgroup no longer supports modular controllers.  No need to export
    init_css_set.  Pointed out by Li.

switch_hrtimer_base() calls hrtimer_check_target() which ensures that
we do not migrate a timer to a remote cpu if the timer expires before
the current programmed expiry time on that remote cpu.

But __hrtimer_start_range_ns() calls switch_hrtimer_base() before the
new expiry time is set. So the sanity check in hrtimer_check_target()
is operating on stale or even uninitialized data.

Update expiry time before calling switch_hrtimer_base().

switch_hrtimer_base() calls hrtimer_check_target() which ensures that
we do not migrate a timer to a remote cpu if the timer expires before
the current programmed expiry time on that remote cpu.

But __hrtimer_start_range_ns() calls switch_hrtimer_base() before the
new expiry time is set. So the sanity check in hrtimer_check_target()
is operating on stale or even uninitialized data.

Update expiry time before calling switch_hrtimer_base().

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "A somewhat unpleasantly large collection of small fixes.  The big ones
  are the __visible tree sweep and a fix for 'earlyprintk=efi,keep'.  It
  was using __init functions with predictably suboptimal results.

  Another key fix is a build fix which would produce output that simply
  would not decompress correctly in some configuration, due to the
  existing Makefiles picking up an unfortunate local label and mistaking
  it for the global symbol _end.

  Additional fixes include the handling of 64-bit numbers when setting
  the vdso data page (a latent bug which became manifest when i386
  started exporting a vdso with time functions), a fix to the new MSR
  manipulation accessors which would cause features to not get properly
  unblocked, a build fix for 32-bit userland, and a few new platform
  quirks"

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86, vdso, time: Cast tv_nsec to u64 for proper shifting in update_vsyscall()
  x86: Fix typo in MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_LIMIT_CPUID macro
  x86: Fix typo preventing msr_set/clear_bit from having an effect
  x86/intel: Add quirk to disable HPET for the Baytrail platform
  x86/hpet: Make boot_hpet_disable extern
  x86-64, build: Fix stack protector Makefile breakage with 32-bit userland
  x86/reboot: Add reboot quirk for Certec BPC600
  asmlinkage: Add explicit __visible to drivers/*, lib/*, kernel/*
  asmlinkage, x86: Add explicit __visible to arch/x86/*
  asmlinkage: Revert "lto: Make asmlinkage __visible"
  x86, build: Don't get confused by local symbols
  x86/efi: earlyprintk=efi,keep fix

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This contains two fixes.

  The first is a long standing bug that causes bogus data to show up in
  the refcnt field of the module_refcnt tracepoint.  It was introduced
  by a merge conflict resolution back in 2.6.35-rc days.

  The result should be 'refcnt = incs - decs', but instead it did
  'refcnt = incs + decs'.

  The second fix is to a bug that was introduced in this merge window
  that allowed for a tracepoint funcs pointer to be used after it was
  freed.  Moving the location of where the probes are released solved
  the problem"
