<content type='text'>
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

<title>genirq: Add and use an irq_data_update_affinity helper</title>

<content type='text'>
Some architectures and irqchip drivers modify the cpumask returned by
irq_data_get_affinity_mask, usually by copying in to it. This is
problematic for uniprocessor configurations, where the affinity mask
should be constant, as it is known at compile time.

Add and use a setter for the affinity mask, following the pattern of
irq_data_update_effective_affinity. This allows the getter function to
return a const cpumask pointer.

 "Cleanups (and one fix) around struct mount handling.

  The fix is usermode_driver.c one - once you've done kern_mount(), you
  must kern_unmount(); simple mntput() will end up with a leak. Several
  failure exits in there messed up that way... In practice you won't hit
  those particular failure exits without fault injection, though"

common_shutdown_1() calls cpumask_weight() to check if any bit of a
given cpumask is set. We can do it more efficiently with cpumask_empty()
because cpumask_empty() stops traversing the cpumask as soon as it finds
first set bit, while cpumask_weight() counts all bits unconditionally.

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size".  These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

<content type='text'>
With io_uring we have started supporting tasks that are for most
purposes user space tasks that exclusively run code in kernel mode.

The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode
helpers are also user mode tasks that just run kernel code
until they call kernel execve.

Pass kernel_clone_args into copy_thread so these oddball
tasks can be supported more cleanly and easily.
