Pull more cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Three more patches to fix cgroup_freezer breakage due to the recent
  cgroup internal locking changes - an operation cgroup_freezer was
  using now requires sleepable context and cgroup_freezer was invoking
  that while holding a spin lock.  cgroup_freezer was using an overly
  elaborate hierarchical locking scheme.

  While it's possible to convert the hierarchical spinlocks directly to
  mutexes, this patch simplifies the overall locking so that it uses a
  global mutex.  This has the added benefit of avoiding iterating
  potentially huge number of tasks under a spinlock.  While the patch is
  on the larger side in the devel cycle, the changes made are mostly
  straight-forward and the locking logic is a lot simpler afterwards"

Determining the css of a task usually requires RCU read lock as that's
the only thing which keeps the returned css accessible till its
reference is acquired; however, testing whether a task belongs to the
root can be performed without dereferencing the returned css by
comparing the returned pointer against the root one in init_css_set[]
which never changes.

Implement task_css_is_root() which can be invoked in any context.
This will be used by the scheduled cgroup_freezer change.

v2: cgroup no longer supports modular controllers.  No need to export
    init_css_set.  Pointed out by Li.

<title>kernfs, sysfs, cgroup: restrict extra perm check on open to sysfs</title>

<id>555724a831b4a146e7bdf16ecc989cda032b076d</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernfs open method - kernfs_fop_open() - inherited extra
permission checks from sysfs.  While the vfs layer allows ignoring the
read/write permissions checks if the issuer has CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE,
sysfs explicitly denied open regardless of the cap if the file doesn't
have any of the UGO perms of the requested access or doesn't implement
the requested operation.  It can be debated whether this was a good
idea or not but the behavior is too subtle and dangerous to change at
this point.

After cgroup got converted to kernfs, this extra perm check also got
applied to cgroup breaking libcgroup which opens write-only files with
O_RDWR as root.  This patch gates the extra open permission check with
a new flag KERNFS_ROOT_EXTRA_OPEN_PERM_CHECK and enables it for sysfs.
For sysfs, nothing changes.  For cgroup, root now can perform any
operation regardless of the permissions as it was before kernfs
conversion.  Note that kernfs still fails unimplemented operations
with -EINVAL.

While at it, add comments explaining KERNFS_ROOT flags.

 "A somewhat unpleasantly large collection of small fixes.  The big ones
  are the __visible tree sweep and a fix for 'earlyprintk=efi,keep'.  It
  was using __init functions with predictably suboptimal results.

  Another key fix is a build fix which would produce output that simply
  would not decompress correctly in some configuration, due to the
  existing Makefiles picking up an unfortunate local label and mistaking
  it for the global symbol _end.

  Additional fixes include the handling of 64-bit numbers when setting
  the vdso data page (a latent bug which became manifest when i386
  started exporting a vdso with time functions), a fix to the new MSR
  manipulation accessors which would cause features to not get properly

This reverts commit c42deffd5b53c9e583d83c7964854ede2f12410d.

commit &lt;mmc: rtsx: add support for pre_req and post_req&gt; did use
mutex_unlock() in tasklet, but mutex_unlock() can't be used in
tasklet(atomic context). The driver needs to use mutex to avoid
concurrency, so we can't use tasklet here, the patch need to be
removed.

The spinlock host-&gt;lock and pcr-&gt;lock may deadlock, one way to solve
the deadlock is remove host-&gt;lock in sd_isr_done_transfer(), but if
using workqueue the we can avoid using the spinlock and also avoid
the problem.

commit &lt;mmc: rtsx: add support for pre_req and post_req&gt; did use
mutex_unlock() in tasklet, but mutex_unlock() can't be used in
tasklet(atomic context). The driver needs to use mutex to avoid
concurrency, so we can't use tasklet here, the patch need to be
removed.

The spinlock host-&gt;lock and pcr-&gt;lock may deadlock, one way to solve
the deadlock is remove host-&gt;lock in sd_isr_done_transfer(), but if
using workqueue the we can avoid using the spinlock and also avoid
the problem.
