[ Upstream commit b7ab4bbd0188f3985b821fa09456b11105a8dedf ]

If interrupts are not activated the work struct 'free_irq_work' is not
initialized. This results in a warning splat at module shutdown.

Fix this by always initializing the work regardless of whether interrupts
are activated or not.

commit 78aafb3884f6bc6636efcc1760c891c8500b9922 upstream.

There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path.  This triggers
when the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from
/dev/hwrng.  The resulting page fault triggers a recursive read
which then dead-locks.

Fix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
  infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
  all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
  driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
  is worth re-iterating the value:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
  unneeded check for procname == NULL.

  The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
  which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
  to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
  to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
  cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
  this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
  might as well roll through the fixes now"

Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:

 - The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
   now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be
   maintained as an LTS kernel.

 - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the
   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

* tag 'asm-generic-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:
  hexagon: Remove unusable symbols from the ptrace.h uapi
  asm-generic: Fix spelling of architecture
  arch: Reserve map_shadow_stack() syscall number for all architectures
  syscalls: Cleanup references to sys_lookup_dcookie()
  Documentation: Drop or replace remaining mentions of IA64
  lib/raid6: Drop IA64 support
  Documentation: Drop IA64 from feature descriptions
  kernel: Drop IA64 support from sig_fault handlers
  arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
