To avoid include recursion hell move the do_softirq_own_stack() related
content into a generic asm header and include it from all places in arch/
which need the prototype.

This allows architectures to provide an inline implementation of
do_softirq_own_stack() without introducing a lot of #ifdeffery all over the
place.

To prepare for inlining do_softirq_own_stack() replace
__ARCH_HAS_DO_SOFTIRQ with a Kconfig switch and select it in the affected
architectures.

This allows in the next step to move the function prototype and the inline
stub into a seperate asm-generic header file which is required to avoid
include recursion.

This function uses irq_to_desc() and is going to be used by modules to
replace the open coded irq_to_desc() (ab)usage. The final goal is to remove
the export of irq_to_desc() so driver cannot fiddle with it anymore.

Move it into the core code and fixup the usage sites to include the proper

Add a function to allow the affinity of an interrupt be switched to
managed, such that interrupts allocated for platform devices may be
managed.

This new interface has certain limitations, and attempts to use it in the
following circumstances will fail:
- For when the kernel is configured for generic IRQ reservation mode (in
  config GENERIC_IRQ_RESERVATION_MODE). The reason being that it could
  conflict with managed vs. non-managed interrupt accounting.
- The interrupt is already started, which should not be the case during
  init
- The interrupt is already configured as managed, which means double init

<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.)

<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

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

   - 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 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)
