commit 62e0468650c30f0298822c580f382b16328119f6 upstream.

free_irq() ensures that no hardware interrupt handler is executing on a
different CPU before actually releasing resources and deactivating the
interrupt completely in a domain hierarchy.

But that does not catch the case where the interrupt is on flight at the
hardware level but not yet serviced by the target CPU. That creates an
interesing race condition:

   CPU 0                  CPU 1               IRQ CHIP

                                              interrupt is raised
                                              sent to CPU1
			  Unable to handle
			  immediately
			  (interrupts off,
			   deep idle delay)
   mask()
   ...
   free()
     shutdown()
     synchronize_irq()
     release_resources()
                          do_IRQ()
                            -&gt; resources are not available

That might be harmless and just trigger a spurious interrupt warning, but
some interrupt chips might get into a wedged state.

Utilize the existing irq_get_irqchip_state() callback for the
synchronization in free_irq().

synchronize_hardirq() is not using this mechanism as it might actually
deadlock unter certain conditions, e.g. when called with interrupts
disabled and the target CPU is the one on which the synchronization is
invoked. synchronize_irq() uses it because that function cannot be called
from non preemtible contexts as it might sleep.

No functional change intended and according to Marc the existing GIC
implementations where the driver supports the callback should be able
to cope with that core change. Famous last words.

<title>genirq: Delay deactivation in free_irq()</title>

commit 4001d8e8762f57d418b66e4e668601791900a1dd upstream.

When interrupts are shutdown, they are immediately deactivated in the
irqdomain hierarchy. While this looks obviously correct there is a subtle
issue:

There might be an interrupt in flight when free_irq() is invoking the
shutdown. This is properly handled at the irq descriptor / primary handler
level, but the deactivation might completely disable resources which are
required to acknowledge the interrupt.

Split the shutdown code and deactivate the interrupt after synchronization
in free_irq(). Fixup all other usage sites where this is not an issue to
invoke the combined shutdown_and_deactivate() function instead.

This still might be an issue if the interrupt in flight servicing is
delayed on a remote CPU beyond the invocation of synchronize_irq(), but
that cannot be handled at that level and needs to be handled in the
synchronize_irq() context.

  lib/vsprintf: Make function pointer_string static
  vsprintf: Limit the length of inlined error messages
  vsprintf: Avoid confusion between invalid address and value
  vsprintf: Prevent crash when dereferencing invalid pointers
  vsprintf: Consolidate handling of unknown pointer specifiers

  vsprintf: Factor out %pV handler as va_format()
  vsprintf: Factor out %p[iI] handler as ip_addr_string()
  vsprintf: Do not check address of well-known strings
  vsprintf: Consistent %pK handling for kptr_restrict == 0
  vsprintf: Shuffle restricted_pointer()
  printk: Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for reset
  treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively
  lib/test_printf: Switch to bitmap_zalloc()

Pull irq updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The changes in this cycle were:

   - Remove the irq timings/variance statistics code that tried to
     predict when the next interrupt would occur, which didn't work out
     as hoped and is replaced by another mechanism.

   - This new mechanism is the 'array suffix computation' estimate,
     which is superior to the previous one as it can detect not just a
     single periodic pattern, but independent periodic patterns along a
     log-2 scale of bucketing and exponential moving average. The
     comments are longer than the code - and it works better at
     predicting various complex interrupt patterns from real-world
     devices than the previous estimate.

   - avoid IRQ-work self-IPIs on the local CPU

   - fix work-list corruption in irq_set_affinity_notifier()"

* 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  irq_work: Do not raise an IPI when queueing work on the local CPU
  genirq/devres: Use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
  genirq/timings: Add array suffix computation code
  genirq/timings: Remove variance computation code

<title>genirq/msi: Add a new field in msi_desc to store an IOMMU cookie</title>

When an MSI doorbell is located downstream of an IOMMU, it is required
to swizzle the physical address with an appropriately-mapped IOVA for any
device attached to one of our DMA ops domain.

At the moment, the allocation of the mapping may be done when composing
the message. However, the composing may be done in non-preemtible
context while the allocation requires to be called from preemptible
context.

A follow-up change will split the current logic in two functions
requiring to keep an IOMMU cookie per MSI.

A new field is introduced in msi_desc to store an IOMMU cookie. As the
cookie may not be required in some configuration, the field is protected
under a new config CONFIG_IRQ_MSI_IOMMU.

A pair of helpers has also been introduced to access the field.
