The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag is intended to be used for interrupts required
to be enabled during the suspend-resume cycle. This mostly consists of
IPIs and timer interrupts, potentially including chained irqchip
interrupts if these are necessary to handle timers or IPIs. If an
interrupt does not fall into one of the aforementioned categories,
requesting it with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is likely incorrect.
Using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND does not guarantee that the interrupt can wake the
system from a suspended state. For an interrupt to be able to trigger a
wakeup, it may be necessary to program various components of the system.
In these cases it is necessary to use {enable,disabled}_irq_wake.
Unfortunately, several drivers assume that IRQF_NO_SUSPEND ensures that
an IRQ can wake up the system, and the documentation can be read
ambiguously w.r.t. this property.
This patch updates the documentation regarding IRQF_NO_SUSPEND to make
this caveat explicit, hopefully making future misuse rarer. Cleanup of
existing misuse will occur as part of later patch series.

Currently we suspend wakeup interrupts by lazy disabling them and
check later whether the interrupt has fired, but that's not sufficient
for suspend to idle as there is no way to check that once we
transitioned into the CPU idle state.
So we change the mechanism in the following way:
1) Leave the wakeup interrupts enabled across suspend
2) Add a check to irq_may_run() which is called at the beginning of
each flow handler whether the interrupt is an armed wakeup source.
This check is basically free as it just extends the existing check
for IRQD_IRQ_INPROGRESS. So no new conditional in the hot path.
If the IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED flag is set, then the interrupt is
disabled, marked as pending/suspended and the pm core is notified
about the wakeup event.

an irq_force_affinity() function, and 30ccf03b4a "clocksource: Exynos_mct:

driver can be used with CONFIG_SMP disabled, but the function declaration
is only available for CONFIG_SMP, leading to this build error:

This patch introduces a dummy helper function for the non-SMP case
that always returns success, to get rid of the build error.

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.

In course of the sdhci/sdio discussion with Russell about killing the
sdio kthread hackery we discovered the need to be able to wake an
interrupt thread from software.
The rationale for this is, that sdio hardware can lack proper
interrupt support for certain features. So the driver needs to poll
the status registers, but at the same time it needs to be woken up by
an hardware interrupt.
To be able to get rid of the home brewn kthread construct of sdio we
need a way to wake an irq thread independent of an actual hardware
interrupt.
Provide an irq_wake_thread() function which wakes up the thread which
is associated to a given dev_id. This allows sdio to invoke the irq
thread from the hardware irq handler via the IRQ_WAKE_THREAD return
value and provides a possibility to wake it via a timer for the
polling scenarios. That allows to simplify the sdio logic
significantly.

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.

2. change irq_thread() to do task_work_add(irq_thread_dtor)

The ARM GIC interrupt controller offers per CPU interrupts (PPIs),
which are usually used to connect local timers to each core. Each CPU
has its own private interface to the GIC, and only sees the PPIs that
are directly connect to it.
While these timers are separate devices and have a separate interrupt
line to a core, they all use the same IRQ number.
For these devices, request_irq() is not the right API as it assumes
that an IRQ number is visible by a number of CPUs (through the
affinity setting), but makes it very awkward to express that an IRQ
number can be handled by all CPUs, and yet be a different interrupt
line on each CPU, requiring a different dev_id cookie to be passed
back to the handler.
The *_percpu_irq() functions is designed to overcome these
limitations, by providing a per-cpu dev_id vector:
int request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);
void free_percpu_irq(unsigned int, void __percpu *);
int setup_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *new);
void remove_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *act);
void enable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
void disable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
The API has a number of limitations:
- no interrupt sharing
- no threading
- common handler across all the CPUs
Once the interrupt is requested using setup_percpu_irq() or
request_percpu_irq(), it must be enabled by each core that wishes its
local interrupt to be delivered.

Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.
The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.
Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.)
This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.
But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.
Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.
Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.
Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.
When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

Some low level interrupts cannot be threaded even when we force thread
all interrupt handlers. Add a flag to annotate such interrupts. Add
all timer interrupts to this category by default.

For level type interrupts we need to track how many threads are on
flight to avoid useless interrupt storms when not all thread handlers
have finished yet. Keep track of the woken threads and only unmask
when there are no more threads in flight.
Yes, I'm lazy and using a bitfield. But not only because I'm lazy, the
main reason is that it's way simpler than using a refcount. A refcount
based solution would need to keep track of various things like
crashing the irq thread, spurious interrupts coming in,
disables/enables, free_irq() and some more. The bitfield keeps the
tracking simple and makes things just work. It's also nicely confined
to the thread code pathes and does not require additional checks all
over the place.

All archs implement show_interrupts() in more or less the same
way. That's tons of duplicated code with different bugs with no
value. Implement a generic version and deprecate show_interrupts()
Unfortunately we need some ifdeffery for !GENERIC_HARDIRQ archs.

The irq namespace has become quite convoluted. My bad. Clean it up
and deprecate the old functions. All new functions follow the scheme:
irq number based:
irq_set/get/xxx/_xxx(unsigned int irq, ...)
irq_data based:
irq_data_set/get/xxx/_xxx(struct irq_data *d, ....)
irq_desc based:
irq_desc_get_xxx(struct irq_desc *desc)

irq/for-xen contains new functionality to avoid Xen private irq
hackery. That branch has a single irq commit and is pulled by Xen to
base their new features on.
Merge it into irq/core as other patches modify the same code.

Xen needs to reenable interrupts which are marked IRQF_NO_SUSPEND in the
resume path. Add a flag to force the reenabling in the resume code.

Cleanup patch, freeing up PF_KSOFTIRQD and use per_cpu ksoftirqd pointer
instead, as suggested by Eric Dumazet.

When initiating I/O on a multiqueue and multi-IRQ device, we may want
to select a queue for which the response will be handled on the same
or a nearby CPU. This requires a reverse-map of IRQ affinity. Add a
notification mechanism to support this.
This is based closely on work by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>.

We currently use kmalloc-96 slab for struct irqaction allocations on
64bit arches.
This is unfortunate because of possible false sharing and two cache
lines accesses.
Move 'name' and 'dir' fields at the end of the structure, and force a
suitable alignement.
Hot path fields now use one cache line on x86_64.

With the addition of trace_softirq_raise() the softirq tracepoint got
even more convoluted. Why the tracepoints take two pointers to assign
an integer is beyond my comprehension.
But adding an extra case which treats the first pointer as an unsigned
long when the second pointer is NULL including the back and forth
type casting is just horrible.
Convert the softirq tracepoints to take a single unsigned int argument
for the softirq vector number and fix the call sites.
