commit 5e7afb2eb7b2a7c81e9f608cbdf74a07606fd1b5 upstream.

irq_remove_generic_chip() calculates the Linux interrupt number for removing the
handler and interrupt chip based on gc::irq_base as a linear function of
the bit positions of set bits in the @msk argument.

When the generic chip is present in an irq domain, i.e. created with a call
to irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips(), gc::irq_base contains not the base
Linux interrupt number.  It contains the base hardware interrupt for this
chip. It is set to 0 for the first chip in the domain, 0 + N for the next
chip, where $N is the number of hardware interrupts per chip.

That means the Linux interrupt number cannot be calculated based on
gc::irq_base for irqdomain based chips without a domain map lookup, which
is currently missing.

Rework the code to take the irqdomain case into account and calculate the
Linux interrupt number by a irqdomain lookup of the domain specific
hardware interrupt number.

<title>x86/apic/msi: Fix misconfigured non-maskable MSI quirk</title>

commit b56ebe7c896dc78b5865ec2c4b1dae3c93537517 upstream.

commit ef8dd01538ea ("genirq/msi: Make interrupt allocation less
convoluted"), reworked the code so that the x86 specific quirk for affinity
setting of non-maskable PCI/MSI interrupts is not longer activated if
necessary.

This could be solved by restoring the original logic in the core MSI code,
but after a deeper analysis it turned out that the quirk flag is not
required at all.

The quirk is only required when the PCI/MSI device cannot mask the MSI
interrupts, which in turn also prevents reservation mode from being enabled
for the affected interrupt.

This allows ot remove the NOMASK quirk bit completely as msi_set_affinity()
can instead check whether reservation mode is enabled for the interrupt,
which gives exactly the same answer.

Even in the momentary non-existing case that the reservation mode would be
not set for a maskable MSI interrupt this would not cause any harm as it
just would cause msi_set_affinity() to go needlessly through the
functionaly equivalent slow path, which works perfectly fine with maskable
interrupts as well.

Rework msi_set_affinity() to query the reservation mode and remove all
NOMASK quirk logic from the core code.

[ Upstream commit a0b0bad10587ae2948a7c36ca4ffc206007fbcf3 ]

When a CPU is about to be offlined, x86 validates that all active
interrupts which are targeted to this CPU can be migrated to the remaining
online CPUs. If not, the offline operation is aborted.

The validation uses irq_matrix_allocated() to retrieve the number of
vectors which are allocated on the outgoing CPU. The returned number of
allocated vectors includes also vectors which are associated to managed
interrupts.

That's overaccounting because managed interrupts are:

  - not migrated when the affinity mask of the interrupt targets only
    the outgoing CPU

  - migrated to another CPU, but in that case the vector is already
    pre-allocated on the potential target CPUs and must not be taken into
    account.

As a consequence the check whether the remaining online CPUs have enough
capacity for migrating the allocated vectors from the outgoing CPU might
fail incorrectly.

Let irq_matrix_allocated() return only the number of allocated non-managed
interrupts to make this validation check correct.

<title>genirq: Fix software resend lockup and nested resend</title>

<content type='text'>
The switch to using hlist for managing software resend of interrupts
broke resend in at least two ways:

First, unconditionally adding interrupt descriptors to the resend list can
corrupt the list when the descriptor in question has already been
added. This causes the resend tasklet to loop indefinitely with interrupts
disabled as was recently reported with the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s after
threaded NAPI was disabled in the ath11k WiFi driver.

This bug is easily fixed by restoring the old semantics of irq_sw_resend()
so that it can be called also for descriptors that have already been marked
for resend.

Second, the offending commit also broke software resend of nested
interrupts by simply discarding the code that made sure that such
interrupts are retriggered using the parent interrupt.

Add back the corresponding code that adds the parent descriptor to the
resend list.

  - A number of Loogson/Loogarch fixes

  - Allow the core code to retrigger an interrupt that has
    fired while the same interrupt is being handled on another
    CPU, papering over a GICv3 architecture issue

  - Work around an integration problem on ASR8601, where the CPU
    numbering isn't representable in the GIC implementation...

  - Add some missing interrupt to the STM32 irqchip

  - A bunch of warning squashing triggered by W=1 builds

There is a class of interrupt controllers out there that, once they
have signalled a given interrupt number, will still signal incoming
instances of the *same* interrupt despite the original interrupt
not having been EOIed yet.

As long as the new interrupt reaches the *same* CPU, nothing bad
happens, as that CPU still has its interrupts globally disabled,
and we will only take the new interrupt once the interrupt has
been EOIed.

However, things become more "interesting" if an affinity change comes
in while the interrupt is being handled. More specifically, while
the per-irq lock is being dropped. This results in the affinity change
taking place immediately. At this point, there is nothing that prevents
the interrupt from firing on the new target CPU. We end-up with the
interrupt running concurrently on two CPUs, which isn't a good thing.

And that's where things become worse: the new CPU notices that the
interrupt handling is in progress (irq_may_run() return false), and
*drops the interrupt on the floor*.

The whole race looks like this:

           CPU 0             |          CPU 1
-----------------------------|-----------------------------
interrupt start              |
  handle_fasteoi_irq         | set_affinity(CPU 1)
    handler                  |
    ...                      | interrupt start
    ...                      |   handle_fasteoi_irq -&gt; early out
  handle_fasteoi_irq return  | interrupt end
interrupt end                |

If the interrupt was an edge, too bad. The interrupt is lost, and
the system will eventually die one way or another. Not great.

A way to avoid this situation is to detect this problem at the point
we handle the interrupt on the new target. Instead of dropping the
interrupt, use the resend mechanism to force it to be replayed.

Also, in order to limit the impact of this workaround to the pathetic
architectures that require it, gate it behind a new irq flag aptly
named IRQD_RESEND_WHEN_IN_PROGRESS.
