Revision 43768f7ce0996590cb9588de71f026f30fb35581 authored by Linus Torvalds on 19 July 2020, 18:55:24 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 19 July 2020, 18:55:24 UTC
Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of scheduler fixes:

   - Plug a load average accounting race which was introduced with a
     recent optimization casing load average to show bogus numbers.

   - Fix the rseq CPU id initialization for new tasks. sched_fork() does
     not update the rseq CPU id so the id is the stale id of the parent
     task, which can cause user space data corruption.

   - Handle a 0 return value of task_h_load() correctly in the load
     balancer, which does not decrease imbalance and therefore pulls
     until the maximum number of loops is reached, which might be all
     tasks just created by a fork bomb"
