<content type='text'>
The previous commit which made the operator precedence in
irq_matrix_available() explicit made the implicit brokenness explicitely
wrong. It was wrong in the original commit already. The overworked
maintainer did not notice it either when merging the patch.

Replace the confusing '?' construct by a simple and obvious if ().

Noticed with a Clang build. This improves the readability of the ?:
expression, as it has lower precedence than the - expression. Show
explicitly that - is evaluated first.

This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".

Done using the following semantic patch:

@match_define_timer@
declarer name DEFINE_TIMER;
identifier _timer, _callback;
@@

 DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback);

@change_callback depends on match_define_timer@
identifier match_define_timer._callback;

 void
-_callback(_origtype _origarg)

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
  which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
  applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
  new vector context (&lt;= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
  work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
  is solid now.

  Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
  they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
  future.

  Plenty of acronym soup here:

   - initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)

   - improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
     events)

   - enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types

   - remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps

   - use of WFE to implement long delay()s

   - ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi

   - perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE)

   - perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs

   - misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides a major overhaul of the APIC initialization and
  vector allocation code:

   - Unification of the APIC and interrupt mode setup which was
     scattered all over the place and was hard to follow. This also
     distangles the timer setup from the APIC initialization which
     brings a clear separation of functionality.

     Great detective work from Dou Lyiang!

   - Refactoring of the x86 vector allocation mechanism. The existing
     code was based on nested loops and rather convoluted APIC callbacks
     which had a horrible worst case behaviour and tried to serve all
     different use cases in one go. This led to quite odd hacks when
     supporting the new managed interupt facility for multiqueue devices
     and made it more or less impossible to deal with the vector space
     exhaustion which was a major roadblock for server hibernation.

     Aside of that the code dealing with cpu hotplug and the system
     vectors was disconnected from the actual vector management and
     allocation code, which made it hard to follow and maintain.

     Utilizing the new bitmap matrix allocator core mechanism, the new
     allocator and management code consolidates the handling of system
     vectors, legacy vectors, cpu hotplug mechanisms and the actual
     allocation which needs to be aware of system and legacy vectors and
     hotplug constraints into a single consistent entity.

     This has one visible change: The support for multi CPU targets of
     interrupts, which is only available on a certain subset of
     CPUs/APIC variants has been removed in favour of single interrupt
     targets. A proper analysis of the multi CPU target feature revealed
     that there is no real advantage as the vast majority of interrupts
     end up on the CPU with the lowest APIC id in the set of target CPUs
     anyway. That change was agreed on by the relevant folks and allowed
     to simplify the implementation significantly and to replace rather
     fragile constructs like the vector cleanup IPI with straight
     forward and solid code.

     Furthermore this allowed to cleanly separate the allocation details
     for legacy, normal and managed interrupts:

      * Legacy interrupts are not longer wasting 16 vectors
        unconditionally

      * Managed interrupts have now a guaranteed vector reservation, but
        the actual vector assignment happens when the interrupt is
        requested. It's guaranteed not to fail.

      * Normal interrupts no longer allocate vectors unconditionally
        when the interrupt is set up (IO/APIC init or MSI(X) enable).
        The mechanism has been switched to a best effort reservation
        mode. The actual allocation happens when the interrupt is
        requested. Contrary to managed interrupts the request can fail
        due to vector space exhaustion, but drivers must handle a fail
        of request_irq() anyway. When the interrupt is freed, the vector
        is handed back as well.

        This solves a long standing problem with large unconditional
        vector allocations for a certain class of enterprise devices
        which prevented server hibernation due to vector space
        exhaustion when the unused allocated vectors had to be migrated
        to CPU0 while unplugging all non boot CPUs.

     The code has been equipped with trace points and detailed debugfs
     information to aid analysis of the vector space"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another big pile of changes:

   - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
     need to think about the syscalls themself.

   - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
     only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
     than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
     multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
     time at the call site.

   - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
     work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

   - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
     collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
     simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
     trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
     unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

   - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.

   - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
     hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
     seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
     No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.

   - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
     really exciting"

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers:

   - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is
     used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate
     pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop
     allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the
     recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to
     switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses
     problems with vector exhaustion.

   - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for
     range selectors.

   - New interrupt controllers:
       - Meson and Meson8 GPIO
       - BCM7271 L2
       - Socionext EXIU

     If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to
     disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh!

   - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms.

   - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver

   - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.
     Most visible one is to move the irq chip drivers Kconfig switches
     into a separate Kconfig menu"

If ffz() ever returns a value &gt;= 31 then the following shift is undefined
behaviour because the literal 1 which gets shifted is treated as signed
integer.

In practice, the bug is probably harmless, since the first undefined shift
count is 31 which results - ignoring UB - in (int)(0x80000000). This gets
sign extended so bit 32-63 will be set as well and all subsequent
__setup_irq() calls would just end up hitting the -EBUSY branch.

However, a sufficiently aggressive optimizer may use the UB of 1&lt;&lt;31
to decide that doesn't happen, and hence elide the sign-extension
code, so that subsequent calls can indeed get ffz &gt; 31.

In any case, the right thing to do is to make the literal 1UL.

[ tglx: For this to happen a single interrupt would have to be shared by 32
  	devices. Hardware like that does not exist and would have way more
  	problems than that. ]
