<title>genirq: Disable irqfixup/poll on PREEMPT_RT.</title>

<id>b70e13885cf63b6f99cbd9a1dbb6beaa2622bf68</id>
<content type='text'>
The support for misrouted IRQs is used on old / legacy systems and is
not feasible on PREEMPT_RT.

Polling for interrupts reduces the overall system performance.
Additionally the interrupt latency depends on the polling frequency and
delays are not desired for real time workloads.

Disable IRQ polling on PREEMPT_RT and let the user know that it is not
enabled. The compiler will optimize the real fixup/poll code out.

<title>genirq: Reduce irqdebug cacheline bouncing</title>

<content type='text'>
note_interrupt() increments desc-&gt;irq_count for each interrupt even for
percpu interrupt handlers, even when they are handled successfully. This
causes cacheline bouncing and limits scalability.

Instead of incrementing irq_count every time, only start incrementing it
after seeing an unhandled irq, which should avoid the cache line
bouncing in the common path.

This actually should give better consistency in handling misbehaving
irqs too, because instead of the first unhandled irq arriving at an
arbitrary point in the irq_count cycle, its arrival will begin the
irq_count cycle.

Cédric reports the result of his IPI throughput test:

<title>treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively</title>

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.

<title>treewide: Switch DEFINE_TIMER callbacks to struct timer_list *</title>

<id>24ed960abf1d50cb7834e99a0cfc081bc0656712</id>
<content type='text'>
This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so

This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".
