<title>userfaultfd: revert "userfaultfd: waitqueue: add nr wake parameter to __wake_up_locked_key"</title>

This reverts commit 51360155eccb907ff8635bd10fc7de876408c2e0 and adapts
fs/userfaultfd.c to use the old version of that function.

It didn't look robust to call __wake_up_common with "nr == 1" when we
absolutely require wakeall semantics, but we've full control of what we
insert in the two waitqueue heads of the blocked userfaults.  No
exclusive waitqueue risks to be inserted into those two waitqueue heads
so we can as well stick to "nr == 1" of the old code and we can rely
purely on the fact no waitqueue inserted in one of the two waitqueue
heads we must enforce as wakeall, has wait-&gt;flags WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE set.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "The threadgroup locking changes which went in during 4.2 devel cycle
  added write locking of a percpu_rwsem in cgroup task migration path;
  unfortunately, that involved expedited rcu syncing which turned out to
  be too slow and heavy for certain workloads.  The patchset which is
  dependent on this one didn't get committed during that devel cycle, so
  these two patches can be reverted safely.

  Oleg reworked percpu_rwsem for 4.4 so that the writer path is a lot
  lighter.  The reported issue goes away with Oleg's reworked
  percpu_rwsem and I'll reapply these patches on the for-4.4 branch so
  that they can land together with Oleg's changes"

 "This is a rather large update post rc1 due to the final steps of
  cleanups and API changes which had to wait for the preparatory patches
  to hit your tree.

   - Regression fixes for ARM GIC irqchips

   - Regression fixes and lockdep anotations for renesas irq chips

   - The leftovers of the cleanup and preparatory patches which have
     been ignored by maintainers

   - Final conversions of the newly merged users of obsolete APIs

   - Final removal of obsolete APIs

   - Final removal of ARM artifacts which had been introduced during the
     conversion of ARM to the generic interrupt code.

   - Final split of the irq_data into chip specific and common data to
     reflect the needs of hierarchical irq domains.

   - Treewide removal of the first argument of interrupt flow handlers,
     i.e. the irq number, which is not used by the majority of handlers
     and simple to retrieve from the other argument the irq descriptor.

   - A few comment updates and build warning fixes"

<title>sched: access local runqueue directly in single_task_running</title>

Commit 2ee507c47293 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task
check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current
runqueue with the smp_processor_id.  When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is
bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker).

With commit f78195129963 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM
calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that
generates a lot of kernel messages.

To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness,
we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.

d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct-&gt;group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc0e ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue.  For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.  They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.
