There are two places where core serialization is needed by membarrier:

1) When returning from the membarrier IPI,
2) After scheduler updates curr to a thread with a different mm, before
   going back to user-space, since the curr->mm is used by membarrier to
   check whether it needs to send an IPI to that CPU.

x86-32 uses IRET as return from interrupt, and both IRET and SYSEXIT to go
back to user-space. The IRET instruction is core serializing, but not
SYSEXIT.

x86-64 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
However, it can return to user-space through either SYSRETL (compat
code), SYSRETQ, or IRET. Given that SYSRET{L,Q} is not core serializing,
we rely instead on write_cr3() performed by switch_mm() to provide core
serialization after changing the current mm, and deal with the special
case of kthread -> uthread (temporarily keeping current mm into
active_mm) by adding a sync_core() in that specific case.

Use the new sync_core_before_usermode() to guarantee this.

Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim
by JIT.

Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by
documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core
serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier
IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before
going back to user-space). They should then select
ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on
their architecture.

Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that
they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space,
or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().

Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
through shared memory.

Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.

There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED"
command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward
compatibility.

Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.

Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:

It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.

It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.

Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

   - Add support for CoreSight trace decoding by making the perf tools
     use the external openCSD (Mathieu Poirier, Tor Jeremiassen)

   - Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support (Kim
     Phillips)

   - libtraceevent updates (Steven Rostedt)

   - Intel vendor event JSON updates (Andi Kleen)

   - Introduce 'perf report --mmaps' and 'perf report --tasks' to show
     info present in 'perf.data' (Jiri Olsa, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time to the
     perf.data file header, so that when processing all samples in a
     'perf record' session, such as when doing build-id processing, or
     when specifically requesting that that info be recorded, use that
     in 'perf report --time', that also got support for percent slices
     in addition to absolute ones.

     I.e. now it is possible to ask for the samples in the 10%-20% time
     slice of a perf.data file (Jin Yao)

   - Allow system wide 'perf stat --per-thread', sorting the result (Jin
     Yao)

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timer departement presents:

   - A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
     introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
     hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
     into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
     initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.

     The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
     nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
     anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
     users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
     will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
     relevant maintainer trees.

     Note: The top commit merged the last minute bugfix for the 10 years
     old CPU hotplug bug as I wanted to make sure that I fatfinger the
     merge conflict resolution myself.

Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
 "This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
  have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
  metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
  even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.

  It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
  require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
  that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
  field was checked.

  Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
  avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
  and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
  rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.

  This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
  a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
  it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
  implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
  metadata updates when no one is looking at it.

  In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
  small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
  the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
  DAX, with 4k writes):

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block IO related changes for the
  4.16 kernel. Nothing major in this pull request, but a good amount of
  improvements and fixes all over the map. This contains:

   - BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and
     Paolo.

   - Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and
     Christoph.

   - Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes
     from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.

   - Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
     Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
     rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.

   - A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
     here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
     Johannes.

   - Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
     From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
     Weiping.

   - Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
     logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
     it's a stacked device.

   - Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
     preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.

   - Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
     quiescing.

   - BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
     can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.

   - Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
     scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
     a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.

   - null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
     exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.

   - Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
     this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
     me.

   - sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.

   - Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.

   - Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,
     Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself"

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
 "A very busy release for regmap, all fairly specialist stuff but
  useful:

   - Support for disabling locking from Bartosz Golaszewski, allowing
     users that handle their own locking to save some overhead.

   - Support for hwspinlocks in syscons in MFD from Baolin Wang, this is
     going through the regmap tree since the first users turned up some
     some cases that needed interface tweaks with 0 being used as a
     syscon identifier.
