When called more than twice, the nios2_time_init() function return an
uninitialized value, as detected by gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized

  arch/nios2/kernel/time.c: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

This makes it return '0' here, matching the comment above the function.

<title>nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus</title>

<id>6727ad9e206cc08b80d8000a4d67f8417e53539d</id>
<content type='text'>
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Use of_property_read_bool instead of open-coding it as fpcu_has.
Convert the members of struct cpuinfo from u32 to bool accordingly as
they are only used as boolean anyhow.

All the clocksource drivers's init function are now converted to return
an error code. CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE is no longer used as well as the
clksrc-of table.

Let's convert back the names:
 - CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE_RET =&gt; CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE
 - clksrc-of-ret              =&gt; clksrc-of

The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:

  - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and
       make the system boot up correctly

  or

  - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system

Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming
to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype.

Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case
by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init
function.

<title>arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections</title>

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to &lt;linux/interrupt.h&gt; so that the
users don't need to pull in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt;.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Fix the following compiler splat by adding __maybe_unused annotation to
the variable. Using this particular annotation has the least ugly impact
on the code compared to using ifdeffery.

arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c: In function 'nios2_boot_init':
arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c:107:7: warning: unused variable 'cmdline_passed' [-Wunused-variable]
