Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

<title>tasklet: Introduce new initialization API</title>

<id>12cc923f1ccc1df467e046b02a72c2b3b321b6a2</id>
<content type='text'>
Nowadays, modern kernel subsystems that use callbacks pass the data
structure associated with a given callback as argument to the callback.
The tasklet subsystem remains one which passes an arbitrary unsigned
long to the callback function. This has several problems:

- This keeps an extra field for storing the argument in each tasklet
  data structure, it bloats the tasklet_struct structure with a redundant
  .data field

- No type checking can be performed on this argument. Instead of
  using container_of() like other callback subsystems, it forces callbacks
  to do explicit type cast of the unsigned long argument into the required
  object type.

- Buffer overflows can overwrite the .func and the .data field, so
  an attacker can easily overwrite the function and its first argument
  to whatever it wants.

Add a new tasklet initialization API, via DECLARE_TASKLET() and
tasklet_setup(), which will replace the existing ones.

This work is greatly inspired by the timer_struct conversion series,
see commit e99e88a9d2b0 ("treewide: setup_timer() -&gt; timer_setup()")

To avoid problems with both -Wcast-function-type (which is enabled in
the kernel via -Wextra is several subsystems), and with mismatched
function prototypes when build with Control Flow Integrity enabled,
this adds the "use_callback" member to let the tasklet caller choose
which union member to call through. Once all old API uses are removed,
this and the .data member will be removed as well. (On 64-bit this does
not grow the struct size as the new member fills the hole after atomic_t,
which is also "int" sized.)

<title>x86/entry: Unbreak __irqentry_text_start/end magic</title>

<id>f0178fc01fe46bab6a95415f5647d1a74efcad1b</id>
<content type='text'>
The entry rework moved interrupt entry code from the irqentry to the
noinstr section which made the irqentry section empty.

This breaks boundary checks which rely on the __irqentry_text_start/end
markers to find out whether a function in a stack trace is
interrupt/exception entry code. This affects the function graph tracer and
filter_irq_stacks().

As the IDT entry points are all sequentialy emitted this is rather simple
to unbreak by injecting __irqentry_text_start/end as global labels.

To make this work correctly:

  - Remove the IRQENTRY_TEXT section from the x86 linker script
  - Define __irqentry so it breaks the build if it's used
  - Adjust the entry mirroring in PTI
  - Remove the redundant kprobes and unwinder bound checks

<title>genirq: Provide interrupt injection mechanism</title>

<content type='text'>
Error injection mechanisms need a half ways safe way to inject interrupts as
invoking generic_handle_irq() or the actual device interrupt handler
directly from e.g. a debugfs write is not guaranteed to be safe.

On x86 generic_handle_irq() is unsafe due to the hardware trainwreck which
is the base of x86 interrupt delivery and affinity management.

Move the irq debugfs injection code into a separate function which can be
used by error injection code as well.

The implementation prevents at least that state is corrupted, but it cannot
close a very tiny race window on x86 which might result in a stale and not
serviced device interrupt under very unlikely circumstances.

This is explicitly for debugging and testing and not for production use or
abuse in random driver code.

Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in the timer code in this cycle were:

   - Clockevent updates:

      - timer-of framework cleanups. (Geert Uytterhoeven)

      - Use timer-of for the renesas-ostm and the device name to prevent
        name collision in case of multiple timers. (Geert Uytterhoeven)

      - Check if there is an error after calling of_clk_get in asm9260
        (Chuhong Yuan)

   - ABI fix: Zero out high order bits of nanoseconds on compat
     syscalls. This got broken a year ago, with apparently no side
     effects so far.

     Since the kernel would use random data otherwise I don't think we'd
     have other options but to fix the bug, even if there was a side
     effect to applications (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Optimize ns_to_timespec64() on 32-bit systems: move away from
     div_s64_rem() which can be slow, to div_u64_rem() which is faster
     (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Annotate KCSAN-reported false positive data races in
     hrtimer_is_queued() users by moving timer-&gt;state handling over to
     the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() APIs. This documents these accesses
     (Eric Dumazet)

   - Misc cleanups and small fixes"

[ I undid the "ABI fix" and updated the comments instead. The reason
  there were apparently no side effects is that the fix was a no-op.

  The updated comment is to say _why_ it was a no-op.    - Linus ]

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include a rework of the main suspend-to-idle code flow (related
  to the handling of spurious wakeups), a switch over of several users
  of cpufreq notifiers to QoS-based limits, a new devfreq driver for
  Tegra20, a new cpuidle driver and governor for virtualized guests, an
  extension of the wakeup sources framework to expose wakeup sources as
  device objects in sysfs, and more.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the main suspend-to-idle control flow to avoid repeating
     "noirq" device resume and suspend operations in case of spurious
     wakeups from the ACPI EC and decouple the ACPI EC wakeups support
     from the LPS0 _DSM support (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Extend the wakeup sources framework to expose wakeup sources as
     device objects in sysfs (Tri Vo, Stephen Boyd).

   - Expose system suspend statistics in sysfs (Kalesh Singh).

   - Introduce a new haltpoll cpuidle driver and a new matching governor
     for virtualized guests wanting to do guest-side polling in the idle
     loop (Marcelo Tosatti, Joao Martins, Wanpeng Li, Stephen Rothwell).

   - Fix the menu and teo cpuidle governors to allow the scheduler tick
     to be stopped if PM QoS is used to limit the CPU idle state exit
     latency in some cases (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Increase the resolution of the play_idle() argument to microseconds
     for more fine-grained injection of CPU idle cycles (Daniel
     Lezcano).

   - Switch over some users of cpuidle notifiers to the new QoS-based
     frequency limits and drop the CPUFREQ_ADJUST and CPUFREQ_NOTIFY
     policy notifier events (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add new cpufreq driver based on nvmem for sun50i (Yangtao Li).

   - Add support for MT8183 and MT8516 to the mediatek cpufreq driver
     (Andrew-sh.Cheng, Fabien Parent).

   - Add i.MX8MN support to the imx-cpufreq-dt cpufreq driver (Anson
     Huang).

   - Add qcs404 to cpufreq-dt-platdev blacklist (Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz).

   - Update the qcom cpufreq driver (among other things, to make it
     easier to extend and to use kryo cpufreq for other nvmem-based
     SoCs) and add qcs404 support to it (Niklas Cassel, Douglas
     RAILLARD, Sibi Sankar, Sricharan R).

   - Fix assorted issues and make assorted minor improvements in the
     cpufreq code (Colin Ian King, Douglas RAILLARD, Florian Fainelli,
     Gustavo Silva, Hariprasad Kelam).

   - Add new devfreq driver for NVidia Tegra20 (Dmitry Osipenko, Arnd
     Bergmann).

   - Add new Exynos PPMU events to devfreq events and extend that
     mechanism (Lukasz Luba).

   - Fix and clean up the exynos-bus devfreq driver (Kamil Konieczny).

   - Improve devfreq documentation and governor code, fix spelling typos
     in devfreq (Ezequiel Garcia, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Leonard Crestez,
     MyungJoo Ham, Gaël PORTAY).

   - Add regulators enable and disable to the OPP (operating performance
     points) framework (Kamil Konieczny).

   - Update the OPP framework to support multiple opp-suspend properties
     (Anson Huang).

   - Fix assorted issues and make assorted minor improvements in the OPP
     code (Niklas Cassel, Viresh Kumar, Yue Hu).

   - Clean up the generic power domains (genpd) framework (Ulf Hansson).

   - Clean up assorted pieces of power management code and documentation
     (Akinobu Mita, Amit Kucheria, Chuhong Yuan).

   - Update the pm-graph tool to version 5.5 including multiple fixes
     and improvements (Todd Brandt).

   - Update the cpupower utility (Benjamin Weis, Geert Uytterhoeven,
     Sébastien Szymanski)"
