Linus Torvalds 6cc82dc2bd Scheduler fixes:
- When stime is larger than rtime due to accounting imprecision, then
      utime = rtime - stime becomes negative. As this is unsigned math, the
      result becomes a huge positive number. Cure it by resetting stime to
      rtime in that case, so utime becomes 0.
 
    - Restore consistent state when sched_cpu_deactivate() fails.
 
      When offlining a CPU fails in sched_cpu_deactivate() after the SMT
      present counter has been decremented, then the function aborts but
      fails to increment the SMT present counter and leaves it imbalanced.
      Consecutive operations cause it to underflow. Add the missing fixup
      for the error path.
 
      As SMT accounting the runqueue needs to marked online again in the
      error exit path to restore consistent state.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - When stime is larger than rtime due to accounting imprecision, then
   utime = rtime - stime becomes negative. As this is unsigned math, the
   result becomes a huge positive number.

   Cure it by resetting stime to rtime in that case, so utime becomes 0.

 - Restore consistent state when sched_cpu_deactivate() fails.

   When offlining a CPU fails in sched_cpu_deactivate() after the SMT
   present counter has been decremented, then the function aborts but
   fails to increment the SMT present counter and leaves it imbalanced.
   Consecutive operations cause it to underflow. Add the missing fixup
   for the error path.

   For SMT accounting the runqueue needs to marked online again in the
   error exit path to restore consistent state.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
