Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:
 "These are mostly arm64 fixes with an additional arm(64) platform fix
  for the initialisation of vexpress clocks (the latter only affecting
  arm64; the arch/arm64 code is SoC agnostic and does not rely on early
  SoC-specific calls)

   - vexpress platform clocks initialisation moved earlier following the
     arm64 move of of_clk_init() call in a previous commit
   - Default DMA ops changed to non-coherent to preserve compatibility
     with 32-bit ARM DT files.  The "dma-coherent" property can be used
     to explicitly mark a device coherent.  The Applied Micro DT file
     has been updated to avoid DMA cache maintenance for the X-Gene SATA
     controller (the only arm64 related driver with such assumption in
     -rc mainline)
   - Fixmap correction for earlyprintk
   - kern_addr_valid() fix for huge pages"

Commit d57c33c5daa4 (add generic fixmap.h) added (among other
similar things) set_fixmap_io to deal with early ioremap of devices.

More recently, commit bf4b558eba92 (arm64: add early_ioremap support)
converted the arm64 earlyprintk to use set_fixmap_io. A side effect of
this conversion is that my virtual machines have stopped booting when
I pass "earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,0x3f8" to the guest kernel.

Turns out that the new earlyprintk code doesn't care at all about
sub-page offsets, and just assumes that the earlyprintk device will
be page-aligned. Obviously, that doesn't play well with the above example.

Further investigation shows that set_fixmap_io uses __set_fixmap instead
of __set_fixmap_offset. A fix is to introduce a set_fixmap_offset_io that
uses the latter, and to remove the superflous call to fix_to_virt
(which only returns the value that set_fixmap_io has already given us).

With this applied, my VMs are back in business. Tested on a Cortex-A57
platform with kvmtool as platform emulation.

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This udpate delivers:

   - A fix for dynamic interrupt allocation on x86 which is required to
     exclude the GSI interrupts from the dynamic allocatable range.

     This was detected with the newfangled tablet SoCs which have GPIOs
     and therefor allocate a range of interrupts.  The MSI allocations
     already excluded the GSI range, so we never noticed before.

   - The last missing set_irq_affinity() repair, which was delayed due
     to testing issues

   - A few bug fixes for the armada SoC interrupt controller

   - A memory allocation fix for the TI crossbar interrupt controller

   - A trivial kernel-doc warning fix"

Pull ftrace bugfix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Takao Indoh reported that he was able to cause a ftrace bug while
  loading a module and enabling function tracing at the same time.

  He uncovered a race where the module when loaded will convert the
  calls to mcount into nops, and expects the module's text to be RW.
  But when function tracing is enabled, it will convert all kernel text
  (core and module) from RO to RW to convert the nops to calls to ftrace
  to record the function.  After the convertion, it will convert all the
  text back from RW to RO.

  The issue is, it will also convert the module's text that is loading.
  If it converts it to RO before ftrace does its conversion, it will
  cause ftrace to fail and require a reboot to fix it again.

  This patch moves the ftrace module update that converts calls to
  mcount into nops to be done when the module state is still
  MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.  This will ignore the module when the text is
  being converted from RW back to RO"

A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.

				register_ftrace_function()

     [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
       ftrace_bug() is called]

When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.

The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.

The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

<title>genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflict</title>

<id>62a08ae2a5763aabeee98264605236b001503e0c</id>
<content type='text'>
On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.

Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.

To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.

Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
happen above.

That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects
the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and
htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate
issue.

On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.

Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.

To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.

Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
