Pull core timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Timers and timekeeping updates:

   - A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
     for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
     properly accounted on the task/process.

     An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
     merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
     travel.

   - Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
     homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.

   - Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
     single function

   - Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
     interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
     affected timers accordingly.

   - Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
     RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
     which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
     Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
     timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
     released by the (hr)timer expiry code.

   - Enable the Hyper-V TSC page based sched_clock for Hyper-V guests
     resulting in faster access to timekeeping functions.

   - Updates to various clocksource/clockevent drivers and their device
     tree bindings.

   - The usual small improvements all over the place"

<title>sched/preempt: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTION where appropriate</title>

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same
functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Switch the preemption code, scheduler and init task over to use
CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

That's the first step towards RT in that area. The more complex changes are
coming separately.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by
   Dietmar Eggemann.

 - Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
   refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
   boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
   sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
   sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
   governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.

 - Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
   testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
   power management features, including energy aware scheduling.

 - Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
   kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
   migrate_disable() - introduce the task-&gt;cpus_ptr value instead of
   taking the address of &amp;task-&gt;cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
   Andrzej Siewior.

 - Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
   Git log for details.

Chain keys are computed using Jenkins hash function, which needs an initial
hash to start with. Dedicate a macro to make this clear and configurable. A
later patch changes this initial chain key.

Despite that there is a lockdep_init_task() which does nothing, lockdep
initiates tasks by assigning lockdep fields and does so inconsistently. Fix
this by using lockdep_init_task().

<title>sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit:

  4b53a3412d66 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")

the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.

As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:

	struct task_struct {
		const cpumask_t		*cpus_ptr;
		cpumask_t		cpus_mask;
        };
with
	t-&gt;cpus_ptr = &amp;t-&gt;cpus_mask;

In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:

	t-&gt;cpus_ptr = &amp;cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));

in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:

 - Code that 'uses' -&gt;cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
 - Code that 'modifies' -&gt;cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "A lucky 13 audit patches for v5.1.

  Despite the rather large diffstat, most of the changes are from two
  bug fix patches that move code from one Kconfig option to another.

  Beyond that bit of churn, the remaining changes are largely cleanups
  and bug-fixes as we slowly march towards container auditing. It isn't
  all boring though, we do have a couple of new things: file
  capabilities v3 support, and expanded support for filtering on
  filesystems to solve problems with remote filesystems.

  All changes pass the audit-testsuite.  Please merge for v5.1"

<content type='text'>
Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.

All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code.  Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances.  This might also have replaced some
false positives.  I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.

1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"

This patch (of 2):

At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1.  Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there.  Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE.  This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.
