By accident I stumbled across code that has never been used. This
driver has EXPORT_SYMBOL functions, and the only user of the code is
pcrypt.c, but this only uses a subset of the exported symbols.
According to 'git log -G', the functions, padata_set_cpumasks,
padata_add_cpu, and padata_remove_cpu have never been used since they
were first introduced. This patch removes the unused code.
On one 64 bit build, with CRYPTO_PCRYPT built in, the text is more than
4k smaller.

When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker. If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.
In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks. Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.
To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not. If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.
This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.
At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked. Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour. For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

All references to timespec_add_safe() now use timespec64_add_safe().
The plan is to replace struct timespec references with struct timespec64
throughout the kernel as timespec is not y2038 safe.
Drop timespec_add_safe() and use timespec64_add_safe() for all
architectures.

timespec64_add_safe() has been defined in time64.h for 64 bit systems.
But, 32 bit systems only have an extern function prototype defined.
Provide a definition for the above function.
The function will be necessary as part of y2038 changes. struct
timespec is not y2038 safe. All references to timespec will be replaced
by struct timespec64. The function is meant to be a replacement for
timespec_add_safe().
The implementation is similar to timespec_add_safe().

1) With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from
a list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following
forks. With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set, will
have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have their
child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be traced as well.
Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in set_event_pid
exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid
2) The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers. This includes a very
thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events.
This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from
events and their fields.
Some other cleanups and updates were added as well. Like Masami Hiramatsu
added test cases for the event trigger and hist triggers. Also I added
a speed up of filtering by using a temp buffer when filters are set.

Core infrastructural changes:
- Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages. This
means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than
(as we did before) try to emulate it by switching the line
to an input to get high impedance. This is also documented
throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt for those of you
who did not understand one word of what I just wrote.
- Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and
unitelligible ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and
ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another evolutional artifact from
the time when the GPIO subsystem was unmaintained. Archs can
now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs
ACKed the changes immediately so these are included in this
pull request.
- Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device
for storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H
Unicore and a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in
ALSA SoC, Input, serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.
- The initialization now reads the input/output state of the
GPIO lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this
callback is implemented - whether the line is input or
output. This also reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".
- It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names,
from the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for
a while.) I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI
one of those days. This makes is possible to get sensible
producer names for e.g. GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.
New drivers:
- New driver for the Loongson1.
- The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.
- The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.
- The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.
Driver improvements:
- MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and
now also suppors level-triggered interrupts.
- 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback
- AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.
- TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
support the new single ended callback for open drain
and in some cases open source.
- Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers
like PL061, Xgene.
Cleanups:
- Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized
those who are not really modules.
- Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where
they belong.
- Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
point. That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less.

a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.
The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).
A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
"The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
passing inode and dentry separately. This is the point where the
things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
security_d_instantiate() mess. The xattr work itself proceeds to
switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
there.
After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:
- untangle security_d_instantiate()
- convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
permission checks. I would've dropped that commit (it gets
overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
cycle...
- some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
relaxed the VFS exclusion. Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.
- core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared. At
that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.
Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
shared.
- parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
regular files. That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
I went for switching them one-by-one. To do that, a new method
'->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
or fixed to be OK with that. I hope to kill the original method
come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
already), but it's still not quite finished.
- several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir. The
interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
shared.
Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
commits. Important exception: NFS. Turns out that NFS folks, with
their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
grown the locking of their own. They had their own homegrown
rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
is the reader there). Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
code etc. had become exposed...
- do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups. As the result, open()
without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared. Including the
->atomic_open() case. Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.
- then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem. All
exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
mechanism. Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
now - rmdir being the writer.
Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
now.
- the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
as well. One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
fix)"

unsigned numbers in the ring-buffer code.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118001
At first I did not think this was too much of an issue, because the
overflow would be caught later when either too much data was allocated
or it would trigger RB_WARN_ON() which shuts down the ring buffer.
But looking closer into it, I found that the right settings could bypass
the checks and crash the kernel. Luckily, this is only accessible
by root.
The first fix is to convert all the variables into long, such that
we don't get into issues between 32 bit variables being assigned 64 bit
ones. This fixes the RB_WARN_ON() triggering.
The next fix is to get rid of a duplicate DIV_ROUND_UP() that when called
twice with the right value, can cause a kernel crash.
The first DIV_ROUND_UP() is to normalize the input and it is checked
against the minimum allowable value. But then DIV_ROUND_UP() is called
again, which can overflow due to the (a + b - 1)/b, logic. The first
called upped the value, the second can overflow (with the +b part).
The second call to DIV_ROUND_UP() came in via a second change a while ago
and the code is cleaned up to remove it.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time.
To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil"
governor. Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor
since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree
ones).
There are two main differences between it and the existing governors.
First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for
making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself.
Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU
performance right away without having to spawn work items to be
executed in process context or similar. Currently, the acpi-cpufreq
driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it
is used on a large number of systems.
The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly
regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the
scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in
progress on top of it already). Nevertheless it works and the
preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging.
There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM
platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev
driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform
device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform
code any more. Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this
generic mechanism.
In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect
CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and
provided via the ACPI _PPC object.
The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs
subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage
rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated.
The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in
intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in
a number of places.
Specifics:
- New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki)

This work adds a generic facility for use from eBPF JIT compilers
that allows for further hardening of JIT generated images through
blinding constants. In response to the original work on BPF JIT
spraying published by Keegan McAllister [1], most BPF JITs were
changed to make images read-only and start at a randomized offset
in the page, where the rest was filled with trap instructions. We
have this nowadays in x86, arm, arm64 and s390 JIT compilers.
Additionally, later work also made eBPF interpreter images read
only for kernels supporting DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, that is, x86,
arm, arm64 and s390 archs as well currently. This is done by
default for mentioned JITs when JITing is enabled. Furthermore,
we had a generic and configurable constant blinding facility on our
todo for quite some time now to further make spraying harder, and
first implementation since around netconf 2016.
We found that for systems where untrusted users can load cBPF/eBPF
code where JIT is enabled, start offset randomization helps a bit
to make jumps into crafted payload harder, but in case where larger
programs that cross page boundary are injected, we again have some
part of the program opcodes at a page start offset. With improved
guessing and more reliable payload injection, chances can increase
to jump into such payload. Elena Reshetova recently wrote a test
case for it [2, 3]. Moreover, eBPF comes with 64 bit constants, which
can leave some more room for payloads. Note that for all this,
additional bugs in the kernel are still required to make the jump
(and of course to guess right, to not jump into a trap) and naturally
the JIT must be enabled, which is disabled by default.
For helping mitigation, the general idea is to provide an option
bpf_jit_harden that admins can tweak along with bpf_jit_enable, so
that for cases where JIT should be enabled for performance reasons,
the generated image can be further hardened with blinding constants
for unpriviledged users (bpf_jit_harden == 1), with trading off
performance for these, but not for privileged ones. We also added
the option of blinding for all users (bpf_jit_harden == 2), which
is quite helpful for testing f.e. with test_bpf.ko. There are no
further e.g. hardening levels of bpf_jit_harden switch intended,
rationale is to have it dead simple to use as on/off. Since this
functionality would need to be duplicated over and over for JIT
compilers to use, which are already complex enough, we provide a
generic eBPF byte-code level based blinding implementation, which is
then just transparently JITed. JIT compilers need to make only a few
changes to integrate this facility and can be migrated one by one.
This option is for eBPF JITs and will be used in x86, arm64, s390
without too much effort, and soon ppc64 JITs, thus that native eBPF
can be blinded as well as cBPF to eBPF migrations, so that both can
be covered with a single implementation. The rule for JITs is that
bpf_jit_blind_constants() must be called from bpf_int_jit_compile(),
and in case blinding is disabled, we follow normally with JITing the
passed program. In case blinding is enabled and we fail during the
process of blinding itself, we must return with the interpreter.
Similarly, in case the JITing process after the blinding failed, we
return normally to the interpreter with the non-blinded code. Meaning,
interpreter doesn't change in any way and operates on eBPF code as
usual. For doing this pre-JIT blinding step, we need to make use of
a helper/auxiliary register, here BPF_REG_AX. This is strictly internal
to the JIT and not in any way part of the eBPF architecture. Just like
in the same way as JITs internally make use of some helper registers
when emitting code, only that here the helper register is one
abstraction level higher in eBPF bytecode, but nevertheless in JIT
phase. That helper register is needed since f.e. manually written
program can issue loads to all registers of eBPF architecture.
The core concept with the additional register is: blind out all 32
and 64 bit constants by converting BPF_K based instructions into a
small sequence from K_VAL into ((RND ^ K_VAL) ^ RND). Therefore, this
is transformed into: BPF_REG_AX := (RND ^ K_VAL), BPF_REG_AX ^= RND,
and REG <OP> BPF_REG_AX, so actual operation on the target register
is translated from BPF_K into BPF_X one that is operating on
BPF_REG_AX's content. During rewriting phase when blinding, RND is
newly generated via prandom_u32() for each processed instruction.
64 bit loads are split into two 32 bit loads to make translation and
patching not too complex. Only basic thing required by JITs is to
call the helper bpf_jit_blind_constants()/bpf_jit_prog_release_other()
pair, and to map BPF_REG_AX into an unused register.

[...]
As can be seen, original constants that carry payload are hidden
when enabled, actual operations are transformed from constant-based
to register-based ones, making jumps into constants ineffective.
Above extract/example uses single BPF load instruction over and
over, but of course all instructions with constants are blinded.
Performance wise, JIT with blinding performs a bit slower than just
JIT and faster than interpreter case. This is expected, since we
still get all the performance benefits from JITing and in normal
use-cases not every single instruction needs to be blinded. Summing
up all 296 test cases averaged over multiple runs from test_bpf.ko
suite, interpreter was 55% slower than JIT only and JIT with blinding
was 8% slower than JIT only. Since there are also some extremes in
the test suite, I expect for ordinary workloads that the performance
for the JIT with blinding case is even closer to JIT only case,
f.e. nmap test case from suite has averaged timings in ns 29 (JIT),
35 (+ blinding), and 151 (interpreter).
BPF test suite, seccomp test suite, eBPF sample code and various
bigger networking eBPF programs have been tested with this and were
running fine. For testing purposes, I also adapted interpreter and
redirected blinded eBPF image to interpreter and also here all tests
pass.

Since the blinding is strictly only called from inside eBPF JITs,
we need to change signatures for bpf_int_jit_compile() and
bpf_prog_select_runtime() first in order to prepare that the

for call sites, we need to return the latest prog. No functional

The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()
was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa.
Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it;
- it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or
- it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now
removed waiter.
Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall
indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is
an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.

If the size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is greater than MAX_LONG - BUF_PAGE_SIZE
then the DIV_ROUND_UP() will return zero.
Here's the details:
# echo 18014398509481980 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
tracing_entries_write() processes this and converts kb to bytes.
18014398509481980 << 10 = 18446744073709547520
and this is passed to ring_buffer_resize() as unsigned long size.
size = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE);
Where DIV_ROUND_UP(a, b) is (a + b - 1)/b
BUF_PAGE_SIZE is 4080 and here
18446744073709547520 + 4080 - 1 = 18446744073709551599
where 18446744073709551599 is still smaller than 2^64
2^64 - 18446744073709551599 = 17
But now 18446744073709551599 / 4080 = 4521260802379792
and size = size * 4080 = 18446744073709551360
This is checked to make sure its still greater than 2 * 4080,
which it is.
Then we convert to the number of buffer pages needed.
nr_page = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE)
but this time size is 18446744073709551360 and
2^64 - (18446744073709551360 + 4080 - 1) = -3823
Thus it overflows and the resulting number is less than 4080, which makes
3823 / 4080 = 0
an nr_pages is set to this. As we already checked against the minimum that
nr_pages may be, this causes the logic to fail as well, and we crash the
kernel.
There's no reason to have the two DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's just result of
historical code changes), clean up the code and fix this bug.

Revert "sched/fair: Fix fairness issue on migration"
The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The
nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit
machines this can cause an overflow problem.
For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo 10 > buffer_size_kb
# echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb
Then you get the warning of:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260
Which is:
RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed);
Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes.
This is because:
1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages.
(10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold)
2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240
The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed
to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760
3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE
which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672
4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get:
2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update
5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int
turns into the value of -2147482627
6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is
negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will
be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning
because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

notify_down_prepare: attempt to take down CPU 0 failed
This bug can be reproduced by below config w/ nohz_full= all cpus:
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y
As Thomas pointed out:
| If a down prepare callback fails, then DOWN_FAILED is invoked for all
| callbacks which have successfully executed DOWN_PREPARE.
|
| But, workqueue has actually two notifiers. One which handles
| UP/DOWN_FAILED/ONLINE and one which handles DOWN_PREPARE.
|
| Now look at the priorities of those callbacks:
|
| CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_UP = 5
| CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_DOWN = -5
|
| So the call order on DOWN_PREPARE is:
|
| CB 1
| CB ...
| CB workqueue_up() -> Ignores DOWN_PREPARE
| CB ...
| CB X ---> Fails
|
| So we call up to CB X with DOWN_FAILED
|
| CB 1
| CB ...
| CB workqueue_up() -> Handles DOWN_FAILED
| CB ...
| CB X-1
|
| So the problem is that the workqueue stuff handles DOWN_FAILED in the up
| callback, while it should do it in the down callback. Which is not a good idea
| either because it wants to be called early on rollback...
|
| Brilliant stuff, isn't it? The hotplug rework will solve this problem because
| the callbacks become symetric, but for the existing mess, we need some
| workaround in the workqueue code.
The boot CPU handles housekeeping duty(unbound timers, workqueues,
timekeeping, ...) on behalf of full dynticks CPUs. It must remain
online when nohz full is enabled. There is a priority set to every
notifier_blocks:
workqueue_cpu_up > tick_nohz_cpu_down > workqueue_cpu_down
So tick_nohz_cpu_down callback failed when down prepare cpu 0, and
notifier_blocks behind tick_nohz_cpu_down will not be called any
more, which leads to workers are actually not unbound. Then hotplug
state machine will fallback to undo and online cpu 0 again. Workers
will be rebound unconditionally even if they are not unbound and
trigger the warning in this progress.
This patch fix it by catching !DISASSOCIATED to avoid rebind bound
workers.

When the PMU driver reports a truncated AUX record, it effectively means
that there is no more usable room in the event's AUX buffer (even though
there may still be some room, so that perf_aux_output_begin() doesn't take
action). At this point the consumer still has to be woken up and the event
has to be disabled, otherwise the event will just keep spinning between
perf_aux_output_begin() and perf_aux_output_end() until its context gets
unscheduled.
Again, for cpu-wide events this means never, so once in this condition,
they will be forever losing data.
Fix this by disabling the event and waking up the consumer in case of a
truncated AUX record.

Systems show a minimal load average of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 even when they
have no load at all.
Uptime and /proc/loadavg on all systems with kernels released during the
last five years up until kernel version 4.6-rc5, show a 5- and 15-minute
minimum loadavg of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. This should be 0.00 on
idle systems, but the way the kernel calculates this value prevents it
from getting lower than the mentioned values.
Likewise but not as obviously noticeable, a fully loaded system with no
processes waiting, shows a maximum 1/5/15 loadavg of 1.00, 0.99, 0.95
(multiplied by number of cores).
Once the (old) load becomes 93 or higher, it mathematically can never
get lower than 93, even when the active (load) remains 0 forever.
This results in the strange 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 uptime values on idle
systems. Note: 93/2048 = 0.0454..., which rounds up to 0.05.
It is not correct to add a 0.5 rounding (=1024/2048) here, since the
result from this function is fed back into the next iteration again,
so the result of that +0.5 rounding value then gets multiplied by
(2048-2037), and then rounded again, so there is a virtual "ghost"
load created, next to the old and active load terms.
By changing the way the internally kept value is rounded, that internal
value equivalent now can reach 0.00 on idle, and 1.00 on full load. Upon
increasing load, the internally kept load value is rounded up, when the
load is decreasing, the load value is rounded down.
The modified code was tested on nohz=off and nohz kernels. It was tested
on vanilla kernel 4.6-rc5 and on centos 7.1 kernel 3.10.0-327. It was
tested on single, dual, and octal cores system. It was tested on virtual
hosts and bare hardware. No unwanted effects have been observed, and the
problems that the patch intended to fix were indeed gone.

In calculate_imbalance() load_above_capacity currently has the unit
[capacity] while it is used as being [load/capacity]. Not only is it
wrong it also makes it unlikely that load_above_capacity is ever used
as the subsequent code picks the smaller of load_above_capacity and
the avg_load
This patch ensures that load_above_capacity has the right unit
[load/capacity].

Wanpeng noted that the scale_load_down() in calculate_imbalance() was
weird. I agree, it should be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE, since we're going
to compare against busiest->group_capacity, which is in [capacity]
units.

The following commit:
9642d18eee ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")'
intended to affine unpinned timers to housekeepers:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(houserkeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
However, the !idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu) check modified the
intention to:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => any busy cpus(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
This patch fixes it by checking if there are busy housekeepers nearby,
otherwise falls to any housekeepers/itself. After the patch:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
