<content type='text'>
In preparation for splitting io_uring up a bit, move it into its own
top level directory. It didn't really belong in fs/ anyway, as it's
not a file system only API.

This adds io_uring/ and moves the core files in there, and updates the
MAINTAINERS file for the new location.

<title>io-wq: use __set_notify_signal() to wake workers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6cf5862e3c2caafd11f39a373b98b00c5a04b83a</id>
<content type='text'>
The only difference between set_notify_signal() and __set_notify_signal()
is that the former checks if it needs to deliver an IPI to force a
reschedule. As the io-wq workers never leave the kernel, and IPI is never
needed, they simply need a wakeup.

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
  the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
  permission check to ptrace.c

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

Now that all of the definitions have moved out of tracehook.h into
ptrace.h, sched/signal.h, resume_user_mode.h there is nothing left in
tracehook.h so remove it.

Update the few files that were depending upon tracehook.h to bring in
definitions to use the headers they need directly.

There are a small handful of reasons besides pending signals that the
kernel might want to break out of interruptible sleeps.  The flag
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and the helpers that set and clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL
provide that the infrastructure for breaking out of interruptible
sleeps and entering the return to user space slow path for those
cases.

Expand tracehook_notify_signal inline in it's callers and remove it,
which makes clear that TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work are separate
concepts.

Update the comment on set_notify_signal to more accurately describe
it's purpose.

<title>io-wq: decouple work_list protection from the big wqe-&gt;lock</title>

wqe-&gt;lock is abused, it now protects acct-&gt;work_list, hash stuff,
nr_workers, wqe-&gt;free_list and so on. Lets first get the work_list out
of the wqe-lock mess by introduce a specific lock for work list. This
is the first step to solve the huge contension between work insertion
and work consumption.
good thing:
  - split locking for bound and unbound work list
  - reduce contension between work_list visit and (worker's)free_list.

For the hash stuff, since there won't be a work with same file in both
bound and unbound work list, thus they won't visit same hash entry. it
works well to use the new lock to protect hash stuff.

Results:
set max_unbound_worker = 4, test with echo-server:
nice -n -15 ./io_uring_echo_server -p 8081 -f -n 1000 -l 16
(-n connection, -l workload)
