Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Back in 3.16 the ftrace code was redesigned and cleaned up to remove
  the double iteration list (one for registered ftrace ops, and one for
  registered "global" ops), to just use one list.  That simplified the
  code but also broke the function tracing filtering on pid.

  This updates the code to handle the filtering again with the new
  logic"

Commit 4104d326b670 ("ftrace: Remove global function list and call function
directly") simplified the ftrace code by removing the global_ops list with a
new design. But this cleanup also broke the filtering of PIDs that are added
to the set_ftrace_pid file.

Add back the proper hooks to have pid filtering working once again.

region_is_ram() looks up the iomem_resource table to check if
a target range is in RAM.  However, it always returns with -1
due to invalid range checks. It always breaks the loop at the
first entry of the table.

Another issue is that it compares p-&gt;flags and flags, but it always
fails. flags is declared as int, which makes it as a negative value
with IORESOURCE_BUSY (0x80000000) set while p-&gt;flags is unsigned long.

Fix the range check and flags so that region_is_ram() works as
advertised.

Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Two families of fixes:

   - Fix an FPU context related boot crash on newer x86 hardware with
     larger context sizes than what most people test.  To fix this
     without ugly kludges or extensive reverts we had to touch core task
     allocator, to allow x86 to determine the task size dynamically, at
     boot time.

     I've tested it on a number of x86 platforms, and I cross-built it
     to a handful of architectures:

                                        (warns)               (warns)
       testing     x86-64:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing     x86-32:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing        arm:  -git:  pass ( 1359),  -tip:  pass ( 1359)

       testing      sparc:  -git:  pass ( 1185),  -tip:  pass ( 1185)

     ... so I hope the cross-arch impact 'none', as intended.

   - Fix various NMI handling related bugs unearthed by the big asm code
     rewrite and generally make the NMI code more robust and more
     maintainable while at it.  These changes are a bit late in the
     cycle, I hope they are still acceptable.

Don't burden architectures without dynamic task_struct sizing
with the overhead of dynamic sizing.

Also optimize the x86 code a bit by caching task_struct_size.

<title>x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'</title>

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).

Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already.  This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().

The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct.  But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.
