Core changes:
- Provide IRQF_NO_AUTOEN as a flag for request*_irq() so drivers can be
cleaned up which either use a seperate mechanism to prevent auto-enable
at request time or have a racy mechanism which disables the interrupt
right after request.
- Get rid of the last usage of irq_create_identity_mapping() and remove
the interface.
- An overhaul of tasklet_disable(). Most usage sites of tasklet_disable()
are in task context and usually in cleanup, teardown code pathes.
tasklet_disable() spinwaits for a tasklet which is currently executed.
That's not only a problem for PREEMPT_RT where this can lead to a live
lock when the disabling task preempts the softirq thread. It's also
problematic in context of virtualization when the vCPU which runs the
tasklet is scheduled out and the disabling code has to spin wait until
it's scheduled back in. Though there are a few code pathes which invoke
tasklet_disable() from non-sleepable context. For these a new disable
variant which still spinwaits is provided which allows to switch
tasklet_disable() to a sleep wait mechanism. For the atomic use cases
this does not solve the live lock issue on PREEMPT_RT. That is mitigated
by blocking on the RT specific softirq lock.
- The PREEMPT_RT specific implementation of softirq processing and
local_bh_disable/enable().
On RT enabled kernels soft interrupt processing happens always in task
context and all interrupt handlers, which are not explicitly marked to
be invoked in hard interrupt context are forced into task context as
well. This allows to protect against softirq processing with a per
CPU lock, which in turn allows to make BH disabled regions preemptible.
Most of the softirq handling code is still shared. The RT/non-RT
specific differences are addressed with a set of inline functions which
provide the context specific functionality. The local_bh_disable() /
local_bh_enable() mechanism are obviously seperate.
- The usual set of small improvements and cleanups
Driver changes:
- New drivers for Nuvoton WPCM450 and DT 79rc3243x interrupt controllers
- Extended functionality for MStar, STM32 and SC7280 irq chips
- Enhanced robustness for ARM GICv3/4.1 drivers
- The usual set of cleanups and improvements all over the place
