A recent cleanup removed the 'irq' parameter from many functions, but
left the documentation for this in place for at least one function.

This removes it.

A cleanup of the omap gpio driver introduced a use of the
handle_bad_irq() function in a device driver that can be
a loadable module.

This broke the ARM allmodconfig build:

ERROR: "handle_bad_irq" [drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.ko] undefined!

This patch exports the handle_bad_irq symbol in order to
allow the use in modules.

<title>sched/core: Fix TASK_DEAD race in finish_task_switch()</title>

<id>95913d97914f44db2b81271c2e2ebd4d2ac2df83</id>
<content type='text'>
So the problem this patch is trying to address is as follows:

        CPU0                            CPU1

        context_switch(A, B)
                                        ttwu(A)
                                          LOCK A-&gt;pi_lock
                                          A-&gt;on_cpu == 0
        finish_task_switch(A)
          prev_state = A-&gt;state  &lt;-.
          WMB                      |
          A-&gt;on_cpu = 0;           |
          UNLOCK rq0-&gt;lock         |
                                   |    context_switch(C, A)
                                   `--  A-&gt;state = TASK_DEAD
          prev_state == TASK_DEAD
            put_task_struct(A)
                                        context_switch(A, C)
                                        finish_task_switch(A)
                                          A-&gt;state == TASK_DEAD
                                            put_task_struct(A)

The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A-&gt;state on CPU0
to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A-&gt;state, which will then
result in a double-drop and use-after-free.

Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago)
that we need to observe A-&gt;state while holding rq-&gt;lock because that
will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact
acquire (that) rq-&gt;lock; it takes A-&gt;pi_lock these days.

We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is
expensive, so we'd rather avoid that.

The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&amp;A-&gt;on_cpu, 0),
which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

<content type='text'>
This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit
nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits.

This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit
systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().

Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first
added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created.  In the case of
a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory.  This
race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to
hit with async probing.
