The documentation of irq_chip_compose_msi_msg() claims that with
hierarchical irq domains the first chip in the hierarchy which has an
irq_compose_msi_msg() callback is chosen. But the code just keeps
iterating after it finds a chip with a compose callback.

The x86 HPET MSI implementation relies on that behaviour, but that does not
make it more correct.

The message should always be composed at the domain which manages the
underlying resource (e.g. APIC or remap table) because that domain knows
about the required layout of the message.

On X86 the following hierarchies exist:

1)   vector -------- PCI/MSI
2)   vector -- IR -- PCI/MSI

The vector domain has a different message format than the IR (remapping)
domain. So obviously the PCI/MSI domain can't compose the message without
having knowledge about the parent domain, which is exactly the opposite of
what hierarchical domains want to achieve.

X86 actually has two different PCI/MSI chips where #1 has a compose
callback and #2 does not. #2 delegates the composition to the remap domain
where it belongs, but #1 does it at the PCI/MSI level.

For the upcoming device MSI support it's necessary to change this and just
let the first domain which can compose the message take care of it. That
way the top level chip does not have to worry about it and the device MSI
code does not need special knowledge about topologies. It just sets the
compose callback to NULL and lets the hierarchy pick the first chip which
has one.

Due to that the attempt to move the compose callback from the direct
delivery PCI/MSI domain to the vector domain made the system fail to boot
with interrupt remapping enabled because in the remapping case
irq_chip_compose_msi_msg() keeps iterating and choses the compose callback
of the vector domain which obviously creates the wrong format for the remap
table.

Break out of the loop when the first irq chip with a compose callback is
found and fixup the HPET code temporarily. That workaround will be removed
once the direct delivery compose callback is moved to the place where it
belongs in the vector domain.

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.

In preparation for an interrupt injection interface which can be used
safely by error injection mechanisms. e.g. PCI-E/ AER, add a return value
to check_irq_resend() so errors can be propagated to the caller.

Split out the software resend code so the ugly #ifdef in check_irq_resend()
goes away and the whole thing becomes readable.

Fix up the caller in debugfs. The caller in irq_startup() does not care
about the return value as this is unconditionally invoked for all
interrupts and the resend is best effort anyway.

In general calling generic_handle_irq() with interrupts disabled from non
interrupt context is harmless. For some interrupt controllers like the x86
trainwrecks this is outright dangerous as it might corrupt state if an
interrupt affinity change is pending.

Add infrastructure which allows to mark interrupts as unsafe and catch such
usage in generic_handle_irq().

Qian Cai reported that the WARN_ON() in the x86/msi affinity setting code,
which catches cases where the affinity setting is not done on the CPU which
is the current target of the interrupt, triggers during CPU hotplug stress
testing.

It turns out that the warning which was added with the commit addressing
the MSI affinity race unearthed yet another long standing bug.

If user space writes a bogus affinity mask, i.e. it contains no online CPUs,
then it calls irq_select_affinity_usr(). This was introduced for ALPHA in

  eee45269b0f5 ("[PATCH] Alpha: convert to generic irq framework (generic part)")

and subsequently made available for all architectures in

  18404756765c ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)")

which introduced the circumvention of the affinity setting restrictions for
interrupt which cannot be moved in process context.

The whole exercise is bogus in various aspects:

  1) If the interrupt is already started up then there is absolutely
     no point to honour a bogus interrupt affinity setting from user
     space. The interrupt is already assigned to an online CPU and it
     does not make any sense to reassign it to some other randomly
     chosen online CPU.

  2) If the interupt is not yet started up then there is no point
     either. A subsequent startup of the interrupt will invoke
     irq_setup_affinity() anyway which will chose a valid target CPU.

So the only correct solution is to just return -EINVAL in case user space
wrote an affinity mask which does not contain any online CPUs, except for
ALPHA which has it's own magic sauce for this.

Pull x96 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for the x86 APIC interrupt handling and APIC timer:

   - Fix a long standing issue with spurious interrupts which was caused
     by the big vector management rework a few years ago. Robert Hodaszi
     provided finally enough debug data and an excellent initial failure
     analysis which allowed to understand the underlying issues.

     This contains a change to the core interrupt management code which
     is required to handle this correctly for the APIC/IO_APIC. The core
     changes are NOOPs for most architectures except ARM64. ARM64 is not
     impacted by the change as confirmed by Marc Zyngier.

   - Newer systems allow to disable the PIT clock for power saving
     causing panic in the timer interrupt delivery check of the IO/APIC
     when the HPET timer is not enabled either. While the clock could be
     turned on this would cause an endless whack a mole game to chase
     the proper register in each affected chipset.

     These systems provide the relevant frequencies for TSC, CPU and the
     local APIC timer via CPUID and/or MSRs, which allows to avoid the
     PIT/HPET based calibration. As the calibration code is the only
     usage of the legacy timers on modern systems and is skipped anyway
     when the frequencies are known already, there is no point in
     setting up the PIT and actually checking for the interrupt delivery
     via IO/APIC.

     To achieve this on a wide variety of platforms, the CPUID/MSR based
     frequency readout has been made more robust, which also allowed to
     remove quite some workarounds which turned out to be not longer
     required. Thanks to Daniel Drake for analysis, patches and
     verification"

free_irq() ensures that no hardware interrupt handler is executing on a
different CPU before actually releasing resources and deactivating the
interrupt completely in a domain hierarchy.

But that does not catch the case where the interrupt is on flight at the
hardware level but not yet serviced by the target CPU. That creates an
interesing race condition:

   CPU 0                  CPU 1               IRQ CHIP

                                              interrupt is raised
                                              sent to CPU1
			  Unable to handle
			  immediately
			  (interrupts off,
			   deep idle delay)
   mask()
   ...
   free()
     shutdown()
     synchronize_irq()
     release_resources()
                          do_IRQ()
                            -&gt; resources are not available

That might be harmless and just trigger a spurious interrupt warning, but
some interrupt chips might get into a wedged state.

Utilize the existing irq_get_irqchip_state() callback for the
synchronization in free_irq().

synchronize_hardirq() is not using this mechanism as it might actually
deadlock unter certain conditions, e.g. when called with interrupts
disabled and the target CPU is the one on which the synchronization is
invoked. synchronize_irq() uses it because that function cannot be called
from non preemtible contexts as it might sleep.

No functional change intended and according to Marc the existing GIC
implementations where the driver supports the callback should be able
to cope with that core change. Famous last words.

free_irq() ensures that no hardware interrupt handler is executing on a
different CPU before actually releasing resources and deactivating the
interrupt completely in a domain hierarchy.

But that does not catch the case where the interrupt is on flight at the
hardware level but not yet serviced by the target CPU. That creates an
interesing race condition:

   CPU 0                  CPU 1               IRQ CHIP

                                              interrupt is raised
                                              sent to CPU1
			  Unable to handle
			  immediately
			  (interrupts off,
			   deep idle delay)
   mask()
   ...
   free()
     shutdown()
     synchronize_irq()
     release_resources()
                          do_IRQ()
                            -&gt; resources are not available

<title>genirq: Delay deactivation in free_irq()</title>

When interrupts are shutdown, they are immediately deactivated in the
irqdomain hierarchy. While this looks obviously correct there is a subtle
issue:

There might be an interrupt in flight when free_irq() is invoking the
shutdown. This is properly handled at the irq descriptor / primary handler
level, but the deactivation might completely disable resources which are
required to acknowledge the interrupt.

Split the shutdown code and deactivate the interrupt after synchronization
in free_irq(). Fixup all other usage sites where this is not an issue to
invoke the combined shutdown_and_deactivate() function instead.

This still might be an issue if the interrupt in flight servicing is
delayed on a remote CPU beyond the invocation of synchronize_irq(), but
that cannot be handled at that level and needs to be handled in the
synchronize_irq() context.

For the next patches providing the selftest, it is required to artificially
insert timings value in the circular buffer in order to check the
correctness of the code. Encapsulate the common code between the future
test code and the current code with an always-inline tag.

No functional change.
