Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for the interrupt subsystem:

  Core changes:

   - Cleanup and simplification of common code to invoke the low level
     interrupt flow handlers when this invocation requires irqdomain
     resolution. Add the necessary core infrastructure.

   - Provide a proper interface for modular PMU drivers to set the
     interrupt affinity.

   - Add a request flag which allows to exclude interrupts from spurious
     interrupt detection. Useful especially for IPI handlers which
     always return IRQ_HANDLED which turns the spurious interrupt
     detection into a pointless waste of CPU cycles.

  Driver changes:

   - Bulk convert interrupt chip drivers to the new irqdomain low level
     flow handler invocation mechanism.

   - Add device tree bindings for the Renesas R-Car M3-W+ SoC

   - Enable modular build of the Qualcomm PDC driver

   - The usual small fixes and improvements"

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
 "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
  instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
  original task identity.

  This kills &gt; 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
  part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
  is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
  unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
  reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
  which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
  we'll find).

  With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
  never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
  that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
  on tracking state, or switching between different states.

  I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
  series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
  regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
  manageable.

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
 "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
  instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
  original task identity.

  This kills &gt; 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
  part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
  is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
  unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
  reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
  which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
  we'll find).

  With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
  never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
  that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
  on tracking state, or switching between different states.

  I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
  series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
  regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
  manageable.

  There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
  this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.

PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the
sense that we don't assign -&gt;set_child_tid with our own structure. Just
ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads
in the arch implementation of copy_thread().
