Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Another set of melted spectrum updates:

   - Iron out the last late microcode loading issues by actually
     checking whether new microcode is present and preventing the CPU
     synchronization to run into a timeout induced hang.

   - Remove Skylake C2 from the microcode blacklist according to the
     latest Intel documentation

   - Fix the VM86 POPF emulation which traps if VIP is set, but VIF is
     not. Enhance the selftests to catch that kind of issue

   - Annotate indirect calls/jumps for objtool on 32bit. This is not a
     functional issue, but for consistency sake its the right thing to
     do.

   - Fix a jump label build warning observed on SPARC64 which uses 32bit
     storage for the code location which is casted to 64 bit pointer w/o
     extending it to 64bit first.

   - Add two new cpufeature bits. Not really an urgent issue, but
     provides them for both x86 and x86/kvm work. No impact on the
     current kernel"

The kbuild test robot reported the following warning on sparc64:

  kernel/jump_label.c: In function '__jump_label_update':
  kernel/jump_label.c:376:51: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
       WARN_ONCE(1, "can't patch jump_label at %pS", (void *)entry-&gt;code);

On sparc64, the jump_label entry-&gt;code field is of type u32, but
pointers are 64-bit.  Silence the warning by casting entry-&gt;code to an
unsigned long before casting it to a pointer.  This is also what the
sparc jump label code does.

This happens with the following even sequence:

	preempt_schedule_irq();
	  local_irq_enable();
	  __schedule():
	    local_irq_disable(); // irq off
	    ...
	    rcu_note_context_switch():

	        rcu_read_unlock_special():

	          ...
		  raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(...,flags); // irq remains off
	          rt_mutex_futex_unlock():
	            raw_spin_lock_irq();
	            ...
	            raw_spin_unlock_irq(); // accidentally set irq on

	    &lt;return to __schedule()&gt;
	    rq_lock():
	      raw_spin_lock(); // acquiring rq-&gt;lock with irq on

which means rq-&gt;lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause
deadlocks in scheduler code.

This problem was introduced by commit 02a7c234e540 ("rcu: Suppress
lockdep false-positive -&gt;boost_mtx complaints"). That brought the user
of rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off.

To fix this, replace the *lock_irq() in rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with
*lock_irq{save,restore}() to make it safe to call rt_mutex_futex_unlock()
with irq off.

This happens with the following even sequence:

	preempt_schedule_irq();
	  local_irq_enable();
	  __schedule():
	    local_irq_disable(); // irq off
	    ...
	    rcu_note_context_switch():
	      rcu_note_preempt_context_switch():
	        rcu_read_unlock_special():
	          local_irq_save(flags);
	          ...
		  raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(...,flags); // irq remains off
	          rt_mutex_futex_unlock():
	            raw_spin_lock_irq();
	            ...
	            raw_spin_unlock_irq(); // accidentally set irq on

	    &lt;return to __schedule()&gt;
	    rq_lock():
	      raw_spin_lock(); // acquiring rq-&gt;lock with irq on

which means rq-&gt;lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause
deadlocks in scheduler code.

This problem was introduced by commit 02a7c234e540 ("rcu: Suppress
lockdep false-positive -&gt;boost_mtx complaints"). That brought the user
of rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off.

To fix this, replace the *lock_irq() in rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with
*lock_irq{save,restore}() to make it safe to call rt_mutex_futex_unlock()
with irq off.

<title>perf/core: Fix ctx_event_type in ctx_resched()</title>

<id>bd903afeb504db5655a45bb4cf86f38be5b1bf62</id>
<content type='text'>
In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is
added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking
this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority
than flexible events.

The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can
only use one hardware counter).

  1. First start:
       perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles  -I 1000
  2. Then, in the second console, run:
       perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000

The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher
priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never
run.

This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating
event_type.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of fixes from the timer departement:

   - Add a missing timer wheel clock forward when migrating timers off a
     unplugged CPU to prevent operating on a stale clock base and
     missing timer deadlines.

   - Use the proper shift count to extract data from a register value to
     prevent evaluating unrelated bits

   - Make the error return check in the FSL timer driver work correctly.
     Checking an unsigned variable for less than zero does not really
     work well.

   - Clarify the confusing comments in the ARC timer code"
