Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Improve the scalability of the CFS bandwidth unthrottling logic with
   large number of CPUs.

 - Fix &amp; rework various cpuidle routines, simplify interaction with the
   generic scheduler code. Add __cpuidle methods as noinstr to objtool's
   noinstr detection and fix boatloads of cpuidle bugs &amp; quirks.

 - Add new ABI: introduce MEMBARRIER_CMD_GET_REGISTRATIONS, to query
   previously issued registrations.

 - Limit scheduler slice duration to the sysctl_sched_latency period, to
   improve scheduling granularity with a large number of SCHED_IDLE
   tasks.

 - Debuggability enhancement on sys_exit(): warn about disabled IRQs,
   but also enable them to prevent a cascade of followup problems and
   repeat warnings.

 - Fix the rescheduling logic in prio_changed_dl().

 - Micro-optimize cpufreq and sched-util methods.

 - Micro-optimize ttwu_runnable()

 - Micro-optimize the idle-scanning in update_numa_stats(),
   select_idle_capacity() and steal_cookie_task().

 - Update the RSEQ code &amp; self-tests

 - Constify various scheduler methods

 - Remove unused methods

 - Refine __init tags

 - Documentation updates

 - Misc other cleanups, fixes

sh vmlinux fails to link with GNU ld &lt; 2.40 (likely &lt; 2.36) since
commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv").

This is similar to fixes for powerpc and s390:
commit 4b9880dbf3bd ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT").
commit a494398bde27 ("s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error
with GNU ld &lt; 2.36").

  $ sh4-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1

	.exit.text : AT(ADDR(.exit.text)) { EXIT_TEXT }

However, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by
DISCARD(include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h) because
sh does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

GNU ld 2.40 does not have this issue and builds fine.
This corresponds with Masahiro's comments in a494398bde27:
"Nathan [Chancellor] also found that binutils
commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output sections in scripts") cured this
issue, so we cannot reproduce it with binutils 2.36+, but it is better
to not rely on it."

The .comment section doesn't belong in STABS_DEBUG. Split it out into a
new macro named ELF_DETAILS. This will gain other non-debug sections
that need to be accounted for when linking with --orphan-handling=warn.

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such,
move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.

<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus</title>

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

<title>arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections</title>

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to &lt;linux/interrupt.h&gt; so that the
users don't need to pull in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt;.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.
