-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 was under cc-option because it was only
available in GCC 7.x and newer so the build is now broken for GCC 5.x
and 6.x:

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5';
did you mean '-Wno-fallthrough'?

Fix this by moving -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 under cc-option.

<id>urn:sha1:dee2b702bcf067d7b6b62c18bdd060ff0810a800</id>
<content type='text'>
Add Kconfig support for -Wimplicit-fallthrough for both GCC and Clang.

The compiler option is under configuration CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH,
which is enabled by default.

Special thanks to Nathan Chancellor who fixed the Clang bug[1][2]. This
bugfix only appears in Clang 14.0.0, so older versions still contain
the bug and -Wimplicit-fallthrough won't be enabled for them, for now.

This concludes a long journey and now we are finally getting rid
of the unintentional fallthrough bug-class in the kernel, entirely. :)

Pull scheduler fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Avoid touching ~100 config files in order to be able to select the
   preemption model

 - clear cluster CPU masks too, on the CPU unplug path

 - prevent use-after-free in cfs

 - Prevent a race condition when updating CPU cache domains

 - Factor out common shared part of smp_prepare_cpus() into a common
   helper which can be called by both baremetal and Xen, in order to fix
   a booting of Xen PV guests

<title>mm: allow only SLUB on PREEMPT_RT</title>

<id>urn:sha1:252220dab9d4e4aa61f87b729468e8ac68fcc8bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Memory allocators may disable interrupts or preemption as part of the
allocation and freeing process.  For PREEMPT_RT it is important that
these sections remain deterministic and short and therefore don't depend
on the size of the memory to allocate/ free or the inner state of the
algorithm.

Until v3.12-RT the SLAB allocator was an option but involved several
changes to meet all the requirements.  The SLUB design fits better with
PREEMPT_RT model and so the SLAB patches were dropped in the 3.12-RT
patchset.  Comparing the two allocator, SLUB outperformed SLAB in both
throughput (time needed to allocate and free memory) and the maximal
latency of the system measured with cyclictest during hackbench.

SLOB was never evaluated since it was unlikely that it preforms better
than SLAB.  During a quick test, the kernel crashed with SLOB enabled
during boot.

Disable SLAB and SLOB on PREEMPT_RT.

<content type='text'>
Commit c597bfddc9e9 ("sched: Provide Kconfig support for default dynamic
preempt mode") changed the selectable config names for the preemption
model. This means a config file must now select

  CONFIG_PREEMPT_BEHAVIOUR=y

rather than

  CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

to get a preemptible kernel. This means all arch config files would need to
be updated - right now they'll all end up with the default
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE_BEHAVIOUR.

Rather than touch a good hundred of config files, restore usage of
CONFIG_PREEMPT{_NONE, _VOLUNTARY}. Make them configure:
o The build-time preemption model when !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
o The default boot-time preemption model when PREEMPT_DYNAMIC

Add siblings of those configs with the _BUILD suffix to unconditionally
designate the build-time preemption model (PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is built with
the "highest" preemption model it supports, aka PREEMPT). Downstream
configs should by now all be depending / selected by CONFIG_PREEMPTION
rather than CONFIG_PREEMPT, so only a few sites need patching up.

The prior message is confusing users, which is the exact opposite of the
goal.  If the message is being seen, one of the following situations is
happening:

 1. the param is misspelled
 2. the param is not valid due to the kernel configuration
 3. the param is intended for init but isn't after the '--'
    delineator on the command line

To make that more clear to the user, explicitly mention "kernel command
line" and also note that the params are still passed to user space to
avoid causing any alarm over params intended for init.
