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.

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for the interrupt subsystem:
- Make the handling of the firmware node consistent and do not free
the node after the domain has been created successfully. The core
code stores a pointer to it which can lead to a use after free or
double free.
This used to "work" because the pointer was not stored when the
initial code was written, but at some point later it was required
to store it. Of course nobody noticed that the existing users break
that way.
- Handle affinity setting on inactive interrupts correctly when
hierarchical irq domains are enabled.
When interrupts are inactive with the modern hierarchical irqdomain
design, the interrupt chips are not necessarily in a state where
affinity changes can be handled. The legacy irq chip design allowed
this because interrupts are immediately fully initialized at
allocation time. X86 has a hacky workaround for this, but other
implementations do not.
This cased malfunction on GIC-V3. Instead of playing whack a mole
to find all affected drivers, change the core code to store the
requested affinity setting and then establish it when the interrupt
is allocated, which makes the X86 hack go away"

Setting interrupt affinity on inactive interrupts is inconsistent when
hierarchical irq domains are enabled. The core code should just store the
affinity and not call into the irq chip driver for inactive interrupts
because the chip drivers may not be in a state to handle such requests.
X86 has a hacky workaround for that but all other irq chips have not which
causes problems e.g. on GIC V3 ITS.
Instead of adding more ugly hacks all over the place, solve the problem in
the core code. If the affinity is set on an inactive interrupt then:
- Store it in the irq descriptors affinity mask
- Update the effective affinity to reflect that so user space has
a consistent view
- Don't call into the irq chip driver
This is the core equivalent of the X86 workaround and works correctly
because the affinity setting is established in the irq chip when the
interrupt is activated later on.
Note, that this is only effective when hierarchical irq domains are enabled
by the architecture. Doing it unconditionally would break legacy irq chip
implementations.
For hierarchial irq domains this works correctly as none of the drivers can
have a dependency on affinity setting in inactive state by design.
Remove the X86 workaround as it is not longer required.

Quite some non OF/ACPI users of irqdomains allocate firmware nodes of type
IRQCHIP_FWNODE_NAMED or IRQCHIP_FWNODE_NAMED_ID and free them right after
creating the irqdomain. The only purpose of these FW nodes is to convey
name information. When this was introduced the core code did not store the
pointer to the node in the irqdomain. A recent change stored the firmware
node pointer in irqdomain for other reasons and missed to notice that the
usage sites which do the alloc_fwnode/create_domain/free_fwnode sequence
are broken by this. Storing a dangling pointer is dangerous itself, but in
case that the domain is destroyed later on this leads to a double free.
Remove the freeing of the firmware node after creating the irqdomain from
all affected call sites to cure this.

As the ENABLE_IRQ_POLL macro is undefined, the check for ENABLE_IRQ_POLL
macro in ISR will always be false. This leads to irq polling being
non-functional.
