The Cavium guys reported a soft lockup on their arm64 machine, caused by
commit c55a6ffa6285 ("locking/osq: Relax atomic semantics"):

This is because in osq_lock we initialise the node for the current CPU:
node->locked = 0;
node->next = NULL;
node->cpu = curr;
and then publish the current CPU in the lock tail:
old = atomic_xchg_acquire(&lock->tail, curr);
Once the update to lock->tail is visible to another CPU, the node is
then live and can be both read and updated by concurrent lockers.
Unfortunately, the ACQUIRE semantics of the xchg operation mean that
there is no guarantee the contents of the node will be visible before
lock tail is updated. This can lead to lock corruption when, for
example, a concurrent locker races to set the next field.

Jan Stancek reported that I wrecked things for him by fixing things for
Vladimir :/
His report was due to an UNINTERRUPTIBLE wait getting -EINTR, which
should not be possible, however my previous patch made this possible by
unconditionally checking signal_pending().
We cannot use current->state as was done previously, because the
instruction after the store to that variable it can be changed. We must
instead pass the initial state along and use that.

Currently the full stop_machine() routine is only enabled on SMP if
module unloading is enabled, or if the CPUs are hotpluggable. This
leads to configurations where stop_machine() is broken as it will then
only run the callback on the local CPU with irqs disabled, and not stop
the other CPUs or run the callback on them.
For example, this breaks MTRR setup on x86 in certain configs since
ea8596bb2d8d379 ("kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and
text_poke_smp_batch() functions") as the MTRR is only established on the
boot CPU.
This patch removes the Kconfig option for STOP_MACHINE and uses the SMP
and HOTPLUG_CPU config options to compile the correct stop_machine() for
the architecture, removing the false dependency on MODULE_UNLOAD in the
process.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
"More change than I'd have liked at this stage. The pids controller
and the changes made to cgroup core to support it introduced and
revealed several important issues.
- Assigning membership to a newly created task and migrating it can
race leading to incorrect accounting. Oleg fixed it by widening
threadgroup synchronization. It looks like we'll be able to merge
it with a different percpu rwsem which is used in fork path making
things simpler and cheaper.
- The recent change to extend cgroup membership to zombies (so that
pid accounting can extend till the pid is actually released) missed
pinning the underlying data structures leading to use-after-free.
Fixed.
- v2 hierarchy was calling subsystem callbacks with the wrong target
cgroup_subsys_state based on the incorrect assumption that they
share the same target. pids is the first controller affected by
this. Subsys callbacks updated so that they can deal with
multi-target migrations"

The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree
3b13758f51de ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid")
conflicts in net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c with the following pending
fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes.
1f7dd3e5a6e4 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling")
The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and
updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it
can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter
drops @css from cgrp_attach().
Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid()
with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in
cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is
only one target css during migration, this is fine.

I'm changing the perf_event_aux logic to serve task_ctx and cpu contexts separately, which ensure we don't get EXIT event generated twice on same cpu context. This does not affect other auxiliary events, as they don't use task_ctx at all.

Oleg noticed that its possible to falsely observe p->on_cpu == 0 such
that we'll prematurely continue with the wakeup and effectively run p on
two CPUs at the same time.
Even though the overlap is very limited; the task is in the middle of
being scheduled out; it could still result in corruption of the
scheduler data structures.
