<title>MIPS: SMP: Don't increment irq_count multiple times for call function IPIs</title>

<id>4ace6139bf23ab4f152ba4207fc10b76cc01d2a5</id>
<content type='text'>
The majority of SMP platforms handle their IPIs through do_IRQ()
which calls irq_{enter/exit}(). When a call function IPI is received,
smp_call_function_interrupt() is called which also calls
irq_{enter,exit}(), meaning irq_count is raised twice.

When tick broadcasting is used (which is implemented via a call
function IPI), this incorrectly causes all CPU idle time on the core
receiving broadcast ticks to be accounted as time spent servicing
IRQs, as account_process_tick() will account as such if irq_count is
greater than 1. This results in 100% CPU usage being reported on a
core which receives its ticks via broadcast.

This patch removes the SMP smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapper which
calls irq_{enter,exit}(). Platforms which handle their IPIs through
do_IRQ() now call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly to
avoid incrementing irq_count a second time. Platforms which don't
(loongson, sgi-ip27, sibyte) call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt()
wrapped in irq_{enter,exit}().

<title>MIPS: IRQ/IP27: Move IRQ allocation API to platform code.</title>

allocate_irqno, free_irqno and alloc_legacy_irqno are a simple allocator
for interrupt numbers from the days when the numer of interrupts was still
fixed to NR_IRQS.  This was necessary for the SGI IP27 architecture which
with its flexible architecture and possibly large number of interrupts
doesn't easily fit into the old pattern.  These days there are better
alternatives.

Move the allocation code from the arch generic code to the only platform
using it, the SGI IP27 aka Origin 200/2000, Onyx 2.

Pull final removal of deprecated cpus_* cpumask functions from Rusty Russell:
 "This is the final removal (after several years!) of the obsolete
  cpus_* functions, prompted by their mis-use in staging.

  With these function removed, all cpu functions should only iterate to
  nr_cpu_ids, so we finally only allocate that many bits when cpumasks
  are allocated offstack"

* tag 'cpumask-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: (25 commits)
  cpumask: remove __first_cpu / __next_cpu
  cpumask: resurrect CPU_MASK_CPU0
  linux/cpumask.h: add typechecking to cpumask_test_cpu
  cpumask: only allocate nr_cpumask_bits.
  Fix weird uses of num_online_cpus().
  cpumask: remove deprecated functions.

  ia64: remove deprecated cpus_ usage.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.
