Several people reported in the kernel bugzilla that between v4.12 and v4.13
the magic which works around broken hardware and BIOSes to find the proper
timer interrupt delivery mode stopped working for some older affected
platforms which need to fall back to ExtINT delivery mode.

The reason is that the core code changed to keep track of the masked and
disabled state of an interrupt line more accurately to avoid the expensive
hardware operations.

That broke an assumption in i8259_make_irq() which invokes

     disable_irq_nosync();
     irq_set_chip_and_handler();
     enable_irq();

Up to v4.12 this worked because enable_irq() unconditionally unmasked the
interrupt line, but after the state tracking improvements this is not
longer the case because the IO/APIC uses lazy disabling. So the line state
is unmasked which means that enable_irq() does not call into the new irq
chip to unmask it.

In principle this is a shortcoming of the core code, but it's more than
unclear whether the core code should try to reset state. At least this
cannot be done unconditionally as that would break other existing use cases
where the chip type is changed, e.g. when changing the trigger type, but
the callers expect the state to be preserved.

As the way how check_timer() is switching the delivery modes is truly
unique, the obvious fix is to simply unmask the i8259 manually after
changing the mode to ExtINT delivery and switching the irq chip to the
legacy PIC.

Note, that the fixes tag is not really precise, but identifies the commit
which broke the assumptions in the IO/APIC and i8259 code and that's the
kernel version to which this needs to be backported.

 "Three interrupt related fixes for X86:

   - Move disabling of the local APIC after invoking fixup_irqs() to
     ensure that interrupts which are incoming are noted in the IRR and
     not ignored.

   - Unbreak affinity setting.

     The rework of the entry code reused the regular exception entry
     code for device interrupts. The vector number is pushed into the
     errorcode slot on the stack which is then lifted into an argument
     and set to -1 because that's regs-&gt;orig_ax which is used in quite
     some places to check whether the entry came from a syscall.

     But it was overlooked that orig_ax is used in the affinity cleanup
     code to validate whether the interrupt has arrived on the new
     target. It turned out that this vector check is pointless because
     interrupts are never moved from one vector to another on the same
     CPU. That check is a historical leftover from the time where x86
     supported multi-CPU affinities, but not longer needed with the now
     strict single CPU affinity. Famous last words ...

   - Add a missing check for an empty cpumask into the matrix allocator.

     The affinity change added a warning to catch the case where an
     interrupt is moved on the same CPU to a different vector. This
     triggers because a condition with an empty cpumask returns an
     assignment from the allocator as the allocator uses for_each_cpu()
     without checking the cpumask for being empty. The historical
     inconsistent for_each_cpu() behaviour of ignoring the cpumask and
     unconditionally claiming that CPU0 is in the mask struck again.
     Sigh.

  plus a new entry into the MAINTAINER file for the HPE/UV platform"

<content type='text'>
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.

 "A set of locking fixes and updates:

   - Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in
     various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to
     validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.

   - The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
     above fallout.

     seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
     serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict
     per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep
     cannot validate that the lock is held.

     This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
     sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
     initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
     writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored
     and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that
     the lock is held.

     Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
     required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API
     is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help
     of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has
     been moved up.

     Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs

     While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
     kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if
     the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to
     the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by
     storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;"

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
&lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;

In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[&lt;"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[&lt;"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

By using lockdep_assert_*() from seqlock.h, the spaghetti monster
attacked.

Attack back by reducing seqlock.h dependencies from two key high level headers:

 - &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;:               -Remove &lt;linux/ww_mutex.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/time.h&gt;:                  -Remove &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;:                 +Add    &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;

The price was to add it to sched.h ...

Core header fallout, we add direct header dependencies instead of gaining them
parasitically from higher level headers:

 - &lt;linux/dynamic_queue_limits.h&gt;:  +Add &lt;asm/bug.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/hrtimer.h&gt;:               +Add &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/ktime.h&gt;:                 +Add &lt;asm/bug.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/lockdep.h&gt;:               +Add &lt;linux/smp.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;:                 +Add &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - &lt;linux/videodev2.h&gt;:             +Add &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt;

Arch headers fallout:

 - PARISC: &lt;asm/timex.h&gt;:           +Add &lt;asm/special_insns.h&gt;
 - SH:     &lt;asm/io.h&gt;:              +Add &lt;asm/page.h&gt;
 - SPARC:  &lt;asm/timer_64.h&gt;:        +Add &lt;uapi/asm/asi.h&gt;
 - SPARC:  &lt;asm/vvar.h&gt;:            +Add &lt;asm/processor.h&gt;, &lt;asm/barrier.h&gt;
                                    -Remove &lt;linux/seqlock.h&gt;
 - X86:    &lt;asm/fixmap.h&gt;:          +Add &lt;asm/pgtable_types.h&gt;
                                    -Remove &lt;asm/acpi.h&gt;

There's also a bunch of parasitic header dependency fallout in .c files, not listed
separately.

[ mingo: Extended the changelog, split up &amp; fixed the original patch. ]

The APIC headers are relatively complex and bring in additional
header dependencies - while smp.h is a relatively simple header
included from high level headers.

Remove the dependency and add in the missing #include's in .c
files where they gained it indirectly before.

<title>genirq/affinity: Make affinity setting if activated opt-in</title>

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 ...
