Eric Dumazet 5c1eb08936 x86-32: Restore irq stacks NUMA-aware allocations
Commit 22d4cd4c4d ("Allocate irq stacks seperate from percpu
area") removed NUMA affinity of IRQ stacks as side-effect of
the fix.

Using alloc_pages_node() instead of __get_free_pages() is safe,
even if the target node has no available LOWMEM pages :
alloc_pages_node() fallbacks to another node.

Alexander van Heukelum fe8e0c25ca x86, 32-bit: Align percpu area and irq stacks to THREAD_SIZE
The irq stacks, located in the percpu-area, need to be
THREAD_SIZE aligned. Add the infrastucture to align percpu
variables to larger-than-pagesize amounts within the percpu
area, and use it to specify the alignment for the irq stacks.
Also align the percpu area itself to THREAD_SIZE.

This should make irq stacks work with 8K THREAD_SIZE.

Christoph Hellwig 7974891db2 x86: Always use irq stacks
IRQ stacks provide much better safety against unexpected stack use from
interrupts, at the minimal downside of slightly higher memory usage.
Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to
minimize the problem of stack overflows through interrupt activity.

This is what the 64-bit kernel and various other architectures already do.

Mike Travis 7f7ace0cda cpumask: update irq_desc to use cpumask_var_t
Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's.  This adds
to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes.

The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are
in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the
!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.)  [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]

Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed
the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other
references, and some small changes to Xen.

The "map" arg is always cpu_online_mask.  Importantly, set_affinity

to do it in fixup_irqs(), avoiding a temporary.

Rusty Russell 0de26520c7 cpumask: make irq_set_affinity() take a const struct cpumask
Impact: change existing irq_chip API

Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.

Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.

Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly.  Ingo, does this break anything?

Yinghai Lu 0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

It adds one not taken test/branch more to the interrupt path when
stack overflow checking is enabled. We could avoid that by duplicating
more code, but that seemed not worth it.

Jan Beulich 072f5d82b5 x86: also show non-zero IRQ counts for vectors that currently don't have a handler
It doesn't seem to make sense to hide these, even if their counts
can't change at the point in time they're being displayed.

Joe Korty 38e760a133 x86: expand /proc/interrupts to include missing vectors, v2
Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.

/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.

This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:

	rescheduling interrupts
	TLB flush interrupts
	function call interrupts
	thermal event interrupts
	threshold interrupts
	spurious interrupts

A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency.  Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.

Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip.  IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.

A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC.  Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from.  For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.

Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS.  Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.

AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

Dave Jones 835c34a168 Delete filenames in comments.
Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
are no longer correct.  Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
them, as they add no real value.

Additionally:
- fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
- Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
- remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from
  git.
