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"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
