Scheduler debug stats include newlines that display out of alignment

At the same time, some syslog utilities (like rsyslog by default) don't

When a perf_event is attached to parent cgroup, it should count events
for all children cgroups:
parent_group <---- perf_event
\
- child_group <---- process(es)
However, in our tests, we found this perf_event cannot report reliable
results. Here is an example case:
# create cgroups
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c
# start perf for parent group
perf stat -e instructions -G "p"
# on another console, run test process in child cgroup:
stressapptest -s 2 -M 1000 & echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c/cgroup.procs
# after the test process is done, stop perf in the first console shows
<not counted> instructions p
The instruction should not be "not counted" as the process runs in the
child cgroup.
We found this is because perf_event->cgrp and cpuctx->cgrp are not
identical, thus perf_event->cgrp are not updated properly.
This patch fixes this by updating perf_cgroup properly for ancestor
cgroup(s).

net: phy: relax error checking when creating sysfs link netdev->phydev
Some ethernet drivers (like TI CPSW) may connect and manage >1 Net PHYs per
one netdevice, as result such drivers will produce warning during system
boot and fail to connect second phy to netdevice when PHYLIB framework
will try to create sysfs link netdev->phydev for second PHY
in phy_attach_direct(), because sysfs link with the same name has been
created already for the first PHY.
As result, second CPSW external port will became unusable.
This regression was introduced by commits:

Patch 1: exports sysfs_create_link_nowarn() function as preparation for Patch 2.
Patch 2: relaxes error checking when PHYLIB framework is creating sysfs
link netdev->phydev in phy_attach_direct(), suppresses warning by using
sysfs_create_link_nowarn() and adds error message instead, so links creation
failure is not fatal any more and system can continue working,
which fixes TI CPSW issue and makes boot logs accessible
in case of NFS boot, for example.
This can be stable material 4.13+.

percpu_ref internally uses sched-RCU to implement the percpu -> atomic
mode switching and the documentation suggested that this could be
depended upon. This doesn't seem like a good idea.
* percpu_ref uses sched-RCU which has different grace periods regular
RCU. Users may combine percpu_ref with regular RCU usage and
incorrectly believe that regular RCU grace periods are performed by
percpu_ref. This can lead to, for example, use-after-free due to
premature freeing.
* percpu_ref has a grace period when switching from percpu to atomic
mode. It doesn't have one between the last put and release. This
distinction is subtle and can lead to surprising bugs.
* percpu_ref allows starting in and switching to atomic mode manually
for debugging and other purposes. This means that there may not be
any grace periods from kill to release.
This patch makes it clear that the grace periods are percpu_ref's
internal implementation detail and can't be depended upon by the
users.

In case of memory deficit and low percpu memory pages,
pcpu_balance_workfn() takes pcpu_alloc_mutex for a long
time (as it makes memory allocations itself and waits
for memory reclaim). If tasks doing pcpu_alloc() are
choosen by OOM killer, they can't exit, because they
are waiting for the mutex.
The patch makes pcpu_alloc() to care about killing signal
and use mutex_lock_killable(), when it's allowed by GFP
flags. This guarantees, a task does not miss SIGKILL

When commit 9c7be59fc5 ("libata: Apply NOLPM quirk to Crucial MX100

from the existing "Crucial_CT*MX100*" entry, but that entry sets model_rev
to "MU01", where as the entry adding the NOLPM quirk sets it to NULL.
This means that after this commit we no apply the NO_NCQ_TRIM quirk to
all "Crucial_CT512MX100*" SSDs even if they have the fixed "MU02"
firmware. This commit splits the "Crucial_CT512MX100*" quirk into 2
quirks, one for the "MU01" firmware and one for all other firmware
versions, so that we once again only apply the NO_NCQ_TRIM quirk to the
"MU01" firmware version.

There have been reports of the Crucial M500 480GB model not working
with LPM set to min_power / med_power_with_dipm level.
It has not been tested with medium_power, but that typically has no
measurable power-savings.
Note the reporters Crucial_CT480M500SSD3 has a firmware version of MU03
and there is a MU05 update available, but that update does not mention any
LPM fixes in its changelog, so the quirk matches all firmware versions.
In my experience the LPM problems with (older) Crucial SSDs seem to be
limited to higher capacity versions of the SSDs (different firmware?),
so this commit adds a NOLPM quirk for the 480 and 960GB versions of the
M500, to avoid LPM causing issues with these SSDs.

Revert commit c68f0676ef ("ACPI / battery: Add quirk for Asus
GL502VSK and UX305LA") and commit 4446823e25 ("ACPI / battery: Add
quirk for Asus UX360UA and UX410UAK").
On many many Asus products, the battery is sometimes reported as
charging or discharging even when it is full and you are on AC power.
This change quirked the kernel to avoid advertising the discharging
state when this happens on 4 laptop models, under the belief that
this was incorrect information. I presume it originates from user
reports who are confused that their battery status icon says that it
is discharging.
However, the reported information is indeed correct, and the quirk
approach taken is inadequate and more thought is needed first.
Specifically:
1. It only quirks discharging state, not charging
2. There are so many different Asus products and DMI naming variants
within those product families that behave this way; Linux could
grow to quirk hundreds of products and still not even be close at
"winning" this battle.
3. Asus previously clarified that this behaviour is intentional. The
platform will periodically do a partial discharge/charge cycle
when the battery is full, because this is one way to extend the
lifetime of the battery (leaving a battery at 100% charge and
unused will decrease its usable capacity over time).
My understanding is that any decent consumer product will have
this behaviour, but it appears that Asus is different in that
they expose this info through ACPI.
However, the behaviour seems correct. The ACPI spec does not
suggest in that the platform should hide the truth. It lets you
report that the battery is full of charge, and discharging, and
with external power connected; and Asus does this.
4. In terms of not confusing the user, this seems like something that
could/should be handled by userspace, which can also detect these
same (accurate) conditions in the general case.
Revert this quirk before it gets included in a release, while we look
for better approaches.
