      genirq: Namespace cleanup · a0cd9ca2
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The irq namespace has become quite convoluted. My bad.  Clean it up
and deprecate the old functions. All new functions follow the scheme:

irq number based:
    irq_set/get/xxx/_xxx(unsigned int irq, ...)

irq_data based:
	 irq_data_set/get/xxx/_xxx(struct irq_data *d, ....)

irq_desc based:
	 irq_desc_get_xxx(struct irq_desc *desc)

      genirq: Add missing buslock to set_irq_type(), set_irq_wake() · 43abe43c
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      chips behind a slow bus cannot update the chip under desc->lock, but
we miss the chip_buslock/chip_bus_sync_unlock() calls around the set
type and set wake functions.

      genirq: Make nr_irqs runtime expandable · e7bcecb7
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      We face more and more the requirement to expand nr_irqs at
runtime. The reason are irq expanders which can not be detected in the
early boot stage. So we speculate nr_irqs to have enough room. Further
Xen needs extra irq numbers and we really want to avoid adding more
"detection" code into the early boot. There is no real good reason why
we need to limit nr_irqs at early boot.

Allow the allocation code to expand nr_irqs. We have already 8k extra
number space in the allocation bitmap, so lets use it.

      genirq: Disable the SHIRQ_DEBUG call in request_threaded_irq for now · 6d83f94d
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      With CONFIG_SHIRQ_DEBUG=y we call a newly installed interrupt handler
in request_threaded_irq().

The original implementation (commit a304e1b8) called the handler
_BEFORE_ it was installed, but that caused problems with handlers
calling disable_irq_nosync(). See commit 377bf1e4.

It's braindead in the first place to call disable_irq_nosync in shared
handlers, but ....

Moving this call after we installed the handler looks innocent, but it
is very subtle broken on SMP.

Interrupt handlers rely on the fact, that the irq core prevents
reentrancy.

Now this debug call violates that promise because we run the handler
w/o the IRQ_INPROGRESS protection - which we cannot apply here because
that would result in a possibly forever masked interrupt line.

A concurrent real hardware interrupt on a different CPU results in
handler reentrancy and can lead to complete wreckage, which was
unfortunately observed in reality and took a fricking long time to
debug.

Leave the code here for now. We want this debug feature, but that's
not easy to fix. We really should get rid of those
disable_irq_nosync() abusers and remove that function completely.

      genirq: Prevent access beyond allocated_irqs bitmap · c1ee6264
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      Lars-Peter Clausen pointed out:

   I stumbled upon this while looking through the existing archs using
   SPARSE_IRQ.  Even with SPARSE_IRQ the NR_IRQS is still the upper
   limit for the number of IRQs.

   Both PXA and MMP set NR_IRQS to IRQ_BOARD_START, with
   IRQ_BOARD_START being the number of IRQs used by the core.

   In various machine files the nr_irqs field of the ARM machine
   defintion struct is then set to "IRQ_BOARD_START + NR_BOARD_IRQS".

   As a result "nr_irqs" will greater then NR_IRQS which then again
   causes the "allocated_irqs" bitmap in the core irq code to be
   accessed beyond its size overwriting unrelated data.

The core code really misses a sanity check there.

This went unnoticed so far as by chance the compiler/linker places
data behind that bitmap which gets initialized later on those affected
platforms.

So the obvious fix would be to add a sanity check in early_irq_init()
and break all affected platforms. Though that check wants to be
backported to stable as well, which will require to fix all known
problematic platforms and probably some more yet not known ones as
well. Lots of churn.

A way simpler solution is to allocate a slightly larger bitmap and
avoid the whole churn w/o breaking anything. Add a few warnings when
an arch returns utter crap.
