commit 04aa530ec04f61875b99c12721162e2964e3318c upstream.

Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:

 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
    the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.

 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
    change its affinity.

 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
    the thread either.

Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)

 "This patch series contains a major revamp of how we collect entropy

Some interrupt chips like MSI are oneshot safe by implementation. For
those interrupts we can avoid the mask/unmask sequence for threaded
interrupt handlers.

get rid of the only user of -&gt;data; this is _not_ the final variant - in the

at which point the separate allocation will be gone completely.

With the new interrupt sampling system, we are no longer using the
timer_rand_state structure in the irq descriptor, so we can stop
initializing it now.
