Several people reported that 5.8 broke the interrupt affinity setting
mechanism.

The consolidation of the entry code reused the regular exception entry code
for device interrupts and changed the way how the vector number is conveyed
from ptregs-&gt;orig_ax to a function argument.

The low level entry uses the hardware error code slot to push the vector
number onto the stack which is retrieved from there into a function
argument and the slot on stack is set to -1.

The reason for setting it to -1 is that the error code slot is at the
position where pt_regs::orig_ax is. A positive value in pt_regs::orig_ax
indicates that the entry came via a syscall. If it's not set to a negative
value then a signal delivery on return to userspace would try to restart a
syscall. But there are other places which rely on pt_regs::orig_ax being a
valid indicator for syscall entry.

But setting pt_regs::orig_ax to -1 has a nasty side effect vs. the
interrupt affinity setting mechanism, which was overlooked when this change
was made.

Moving interrupts on x86 happens in several steps. A new vector on a
different CPU is allocated and the relevant interrupt source is
reprogrammed to that. But that's racy and there might be an interrupt
already in flight to the old vector. So the old vector is preserved until
the first interrupt arrives on the new vector and the new target CPU. Once
that happens the old vector is cleaned up, but this cleanup still depends
on the vector number being stored in pt_regs::orig_ax, which is now -1.

That -1 makes the check for cleanup: pt_regs::orig_ax == new_vector
always false. As a consequence the interrupt is moved once, but then it
cannot be moved anymore because the cleanup of the old vector never
happens.

There would be several ways to convey the vector information to that place
in the guts of the interrupt handling, but on deeper inspection it turned
out that this check is pointless and a leftover from the old affinity model
of X86 which supported multi-CPU affinities. Under this model it was
possible that an interrupt had an old and a new vector on the same CPU, so
the vector match was required.

Under the new model the effective affinity of an interrupt is always a
single CPU from the requested affinity mask. If the affinity mask changes
then either the interrupt stays on the CPU and on the same vector when that
CPU is still in the new affinity mask or it is moved to a different CPU, but
it is never moved to a different vector on the same CPU.

Ergo the cleanup check for the matching vector number is not required and
can be removed which makes the dependency on pt_regs:orig_ax go away.

The remaining check for new_cpu == smp_processsor_id() is completely
sufficient. If it matches then the interrupt was successfully migrated and
the cleanup can proceed.

For paranoia sake add a warning into the vector assignment code to
validate that the assumption of never moving to a different vector on
the same CPU holds.

John reported that on a RK3288 system the perf per CPU interrupts are all
affine to CPU0 and provided the analysis:

 "It looks like what happens is that because the interrupts are not per-CPU
  in the hardware, armpmu_request_irq() calls irq_force_affinity() while
  the interrupt is deactivated and then request_irq() with IRQF_PERCPU |
  IRQF_NOBALANCING.  

  Now when irq_startup() runs with IRQ_STARTUP_NORMAL, it calls
  irq_setup_affinity() which returns early because IRQF_PERCPU and
  IRQF_NOBALANCING are set, leaving the interrupt on its original CPU."

This was broken by the recent commit which blocked interrupt affinity
setting in hardware before activation of the interrupt. While this works in
general, it does not work for this particular case. As contrary to the
initial analysis not all interrupt chip drivers implement an activate
callback, the safe cure is to make the deferred interrupt affinity setting
at activation time opt-in.

Implement the necessary core logic and make the two irqchip implementations
for which this is required opt-in. In hindsight this would have been the
right thing to do, but ...

Setting interrupt affinity on inactive interrupts is inconsistent when
hierarchical irq domains are enabled. The core code should just store the
affinity and not call into the irq chip driver for inactive interrupts
because the chip drivers may not be in a state to handle such requests.

X86 has a hacky workaround for that but all other irq chips have not which
causes problems e.g. on GIC V3 ITS.

Instead of adding more ugly hacks all over the place, solve the problem in
the core code. If the affinity is set on an inactive interrupt then:

    - Store it in the irq descriptors affinity mask
    - Update the effective affinity to reflect that so user space has
      a consistent view
    - Don't call into the irq chip driver

This is the core equivalent of the X86 workaround and works correctly
because the affinity setting is established in the irq chip when the
interrupt is activated later on.

Note, that this is only effective when hierarchical irq domains are enabled
by the architecture. Doing it unconditionally would break legacy irq chip
implementations.

For hierarchial irq domains this works correctly as none of the drivers can
have a dependency on affinity setting in inactive state by design.

Remove the X86 workaround as it is not longer required.

<title>irqdomain/treewide: Keep firmware node unconditionally allocated</title>

Quite some non OF/ACPI users of irqdomains allocate firmware nodes of type
IRQCHIP_FWNODE_NAMED or IRQCHIP_FWNODE_NAMED_ID and free them right after
creating the irqdomain. The only purpose of these FW nodes is to convey
name information. When this was introduced the core code did not store the
pointer to the node in the irqdomain. A recent change stored the firmware
node pointer in irqdomain for other reasons and missed to notice that the
usage sites which do the alloc_fwnode/create_domain/free_fwnode sequence
are broken by this. Storing a dangling pointer is dangerous itself, but in
case that the domain is destroyed later on this leads to a double free.

Remove the freeing of the firmware node after creating the irqdomain from
all affected call sites to cure this.

 "Updates for the interrupt subsystem:

      Most cleanup changes come through the various maintainer trees, so
      the final removal of setup_irq() is postponed towards the end of

  Core:

    - Protection against unsafe invocation of interrupt handlers and

      PCI/AER error injection mechanism.

      Invoking interrupt handlers from arbitrary contexts, i.e. outside
      of an actual interrupt, can cause inconsistent state on the

<title>x86/vector: Remove warning on managed interrupt migration</title>

<content type='text'>
The vector management code assumes that managed interrupts cannot be
migrated away from an online CPU. free_moved_vector() has a WARN_ON_ONCE()
which triggers when a managed interrupt vector association on a online CPU
is cleared. The CPU offline code uses a different mechanism which cannot
trigger this.

This assumption is not longer correct because the new CPU isolation feature
which affects the placement of managed interrupts must be able to move a
managed interrupt away from an online CPU.

There are two reasons why this can happen:

  1) When the interrupt is activated the affinity mask which was
     established in irq_create_affinity_masks() is handed in to
     the vector allocation code. This mask contains all CPUs to which
     the interrupt can be made affine to, but this does not take the
     CPU isolation 'managed_irq' mask into account.

     When the interrupt is finally requested by the device driver then the
     affinity is checked again and the CPU isolation 'managed_irq' mask is
     taken into account, which moves the interrupt to a non-isolated CPU if
     possible.

  2) The interrupt can be affine to an isolated CPU because the
     non-isolated CPUs in the calculated affinity mask are not online.

     Once a non-isolated CPU which is in the mask comes online the
     interrupt is migrated to this non-isolated CPU

In both cases the regular online migration mechanism is used which triggers
the WARN_ON_ONCE() in free_moved_vector().

Case #1 could have been addressed by taking the isolation mask into
account, but that would require a massive code change in the activation
logic and the eventual migration event was accepted as a reasonable
tradeoff when the isolation feature was developed. But even if #1 would be
addressed, #2 would still trigger it.

Of course the warning in free_moved_vector() was overlooked at that time
and the above two cases which have been discussed during patch review have
obviously never been tested before the final submission.

So keep it simple and remove the warning.

<title>x86/apic/vector: Force interupt handler invocation to irq context</title>

Sathyanarayanan reported that the PCI-E AER error injection mechanism
can result in a NULL pointer dereference in apic_ack_edge():

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000078
 RIP: 0010:apic_ack_edge+0x1e/0x40
 Call Trace:
   handle_edge_irq+0x7d/0x1e0
   generic_handle_irq+0x27/0x30
   aer_inject_write+0x53a/0x720

It crashes in irq_complete_move() which dereferences get_irq_regs() which
is obviously NULL when this is called from non interrupt context.

Of course the pointer could be checked, but that just papers over the real
issue. Invoking the low level interrupt handling mechanism from random code
can wreckage the fragile interrupt affinity mechanism of x86 as interrupts
can only be moved in interrupt context or with special care when a CPU goes
offline and the move has to be enforced.

In the best case this triggers the warning in the MSI affinity setter, but
if the call happens on the correct CPU it just corrupts state and might
prevent further interrupt delivery for the affected device.

Mark the APIC interrupts as unsuitable for being invoked in random contexts.

This prevents the AER injection from proliferating the wreckage, but that's
less broken than the current state of affairs and more correct than just
papering over the problem by sprinkling random checks all over the place
and silently corrupting state.

<title>x86/apic/vector: Warn when vector space exhaustion breaks affinity</title>

On x86, CPUs are limited in the number of interrupts they can have affined
to them as they only support 256 interrupt vectors per CPU. 32 vectors are
reserved for the CPU and the kernel reserves another 22 for internal
purposes. That leaves 202 vectors for assignement to devices.

When an interrupt is set up or the affinity is changed by the kernel or the
administrator, the vector assignment code attempts to honor the requested
affinity mask. If the vector space on the CPUs in that affinity mask is
exhausted the code falls back to a wider set of CPUs and assigns a vector
on a CPU outside of the requested affinity mask silently.

While the effective affinity is reflected in the corresponding
/proc/irq/$N/effective_affinity* files the silent breakage of the requested
affinity can lead to unexpected behaviour for administrators.

Add a pr_warn() when this happens so that adminstrators get at least
informed about it in the syslog.

Pull x96 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for the x86 APIC interrupt handling and APIC timer:

   - Fix a long standing issue with spurious interrupts which was caused
     by the big vector management rework a few years ago. Robert Hodaszi
     provided finally enough debug data and an excellent initial failure
     analysis which allowed to understand the underlying issues.

     This contains a change to the core interrupt management code which
     is required to handle this correctly for the APIC/IO_APIC. The core
     changes are NOOPs for most architectures except ARM64. ARM64 is not
     impacted by the change as confirmed by Marc Zyngier.

   - Newer systems allow to disable the PIT clock for power saving
     causing panic in the timer interrupt delivery check of the IO/APIC
     when the HPET timer is not enabled either. While the clock could be
     turned on this would cause an endless whack a mole game to chase
     the proper register in each affected chipset.

     These systems provide the relevant frequencies for TSC, CPU and the
     local APIC timer via CPUID and/or MSRs, which allows to avoid the
     PIT/HPET based calibration. As the calibration code is the only
     usage of the legacy timers on modern systems and is skipped anyway
     when the frequencies are known already, there is no point in
     setting up the PIT and actually checking for the interrupt delivery
     via IO/APIC.

     To achieve this on a wide variety of platforms, the CPUID/MSR based
     frequency readout has been made more robust, which also allowed to
     remove quite some workarounds which turned out to be not longer
     required. Thanks to Daniel Drake for analysis, patches and
     verification"
