commit fc21c0cff2f425891b28ff6fb6b03b325c977428 upstream.

This commit was incomplete in that code to remove items from the per-cpu
lists was missing and never acquired a user in the 5 years it has been in
the tree.  We're going to implement what it seems to try to archive in a
simpler way, and this code is in the way of doing so.

<title>genirq: Provide irq_force_affinity fallback for non-SMP</title>

<id>urn:sha1:55d9b08514ede9334e443337e9bf6181a3f8b114</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4c88d7f9b0d5fb0588c3386be62115cc2eaa8f9f upstream.

Patch 01f8fa4f01d "genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts" added
an irq_force_affinity() function, and 30ccf03b4a6 "clocksource: Exynos_mct:
Use irq_force_affinity() in cpu bringup" subsequently uses it. However, the
driver can be used with CONFIG_SMP disabled, but the function declaration
is only available for CONFIG_SMP, leading to this build error:

drivers/clocksource/exynos_mct.c:431:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'irq_force_affinity' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   irq_force_affinity(mct_irqs[MCT_L0_IRQ + cpu], cpumask_of(cpu));

This patch introduces a dummy helper function for the non-SMP case
that always returns success, to get rid of the build error.
Since the patches causing the problem are marked for stable backports,
this one should be as well.

<id>urn:sha1:73ce7ddb70a0c7603b37d375db4b99e2884bd666</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 01f8fa4f01d8362358eb90e412bd7ae18a3ec1ad upstream.

The current implementation of irq_set_affinity() refuses rightfully to
route an interrupt to an offline cpu.

But there is a special case, where this is actually desired. Some of
the ARM SoCs have per cpu timers which require setting the affinity
during cpu startup where the cpu is not yet in the online mask.

If we can't do that, then the local timer interrupt for the about to
become online cpu is routed to some random online cpu.

The developers of the affected machines tried to work around that
issue, but that results in a massive mess in that timer code.

We have a yet unused argument in the set_affinity callbacks of the irq
chips, which I added back then for a similar reason. It was never
required so it got not used. But I'm happy that I never removed it.

That allows us to implement a sane handling of the above scenario. So
the affected SoC drivers can add the required force handling to their
interrupt chip, switch the timer code to irq_force_affinity() and
things just work.

This does not affect any existing user of irq_set_affinity().

Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock
event drivers.

<title>lib: cpu_rmap: avoid flushing all workqueues</title>

<content type='text'>
In some cases, free_irq_cpu_rmap() is called while holding a lock (eg
rtnl).  This can lead to deadlocks, because it invokes
flush_scheduled_work() which ends up waiting for whole system workqueue
to flush, but some pending works might try to acquire the lock we are
already holding.

This commit uses reference-counting to replace
irq_run_affinity_notifiers().  It also removes
irq_run_affinity_notifiers() altogether.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: eliminate free_cpu_rmap, rename cpu_rmap_reclaim() to cpu_rmap_release(), propagate kref_put() retval from cpu_rmap_put()]

<title>time: RCU permitted to stop idle entry via softirq</title>

<id>urn:sha1:803b0ebae921714d1c36f0996db8125eda5fae53</id>
<content type='text'>
The can_stop_idle_tick() function complains if a softirq vector is
raised too late in the idle-entry process, presumably in order to
prevent dangling softirq invocations from being delayed across the
full idle period, which might be indefinitely long -- and if softirq
was asserted any later than the call to this function, such a delay
might well happen.

However, RCU needs to be able to use softirq to stop idle entry in
order to be able to drain RCU callbacks from the current CPU, which in
turn enables faster entry into dyntick-idle mode, which in turn reduces
power consumption.  Because RCU takes this action at a well-defined
point in the idle-entry path, it is safe for RCU to take this approach.

This commit therefore silences the error message that is sometimes
produced when the going-idle CPU suddenly finds that it has an RCU_SOFTIRQ
to process.  The error message will continue to be issued for other
softirq vectors.

<title>genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add()</title>

exit_irq_thread() and task-&gt;irq_thread are needed to handle the unexpected
(and unlikely) exit of irq-thread.

We can use task_work instead and make this all private to
kernel/irq/manage.c, cleanup plus micro-optimization.

1. rename exit_irq_thread() to irq_thread_dtor(), make it
   static, and move it up before irq_thread().

2. change irq_thread() to do task_work_add(irq_thread_dtor)
   at the start and task_work_cancel() before return.

   tracehook_notify_resume() can never play with kthreads,
   only do_exit()-&gt;exit_task_work() can call the callback
   and this is what we want.

3. remove task_struct-&gt;irq_thread and the special hook
   in do_exit().

There is no need to have flags as unsigned long. Make it unsigned int
and put it together with irq so it does not waste space on 64 bit.
Make irq unsigned int while at it.

<content type='text'>
The __raise_softirq_irqoff() contains a tracepoint. As tracepoints in headers
can cause issues, and not to mention, bloats the kernel when they are
in a static inline, it is best to move the function that contains the
tracepoint out of the header and into softirq.c.
