Clean up the fastack concept by turning it into fasteoi and introducing the
->eoi() method for chips.
This also allows the cleanup of an i386 EOI quirk - now the quirk is
cleanly separated from the pure ACK implementation.

This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.
While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.
This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.
We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
This patch:
rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.
I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.
So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

If you get to that point in the code it means that desc->move_irq is set,
pending_irq_cpumask[irq] and cpu_online_map should have a value. Still
pretty good chance anding those two you'll still have a value. So these

On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.
1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
However, every function pointed by
hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling
do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.
2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
issue.

This fix prevents re-disabling and enabling of a previously disabled
interrupt. On an SMP system with irq balancing enabled; If an interrupt is
disabled from within its own interrupt context with disable_irq_nosync and is
also earmarked for processor migration, the interrupt is blindly moved to the
other processor and enabled without regard for its current "enabled" state.
If there is an interrupt pending, it will unexpectedly invoke the irq handler
on the new irq owning processor (even though the irq was previously disabled)
The more intuitive fix would be to invoke disable_irq_nosync and
enable_irq, but since we already have the desc->lock from __do_IRQ, we
cannot call them directly. Instead we can use the same logic to disable
and enable found in disable_irq_nosync and enable_irq, with regards to the
desc->depth.
This now prevents a disabled interrupt from being re-disabled, and more
importantly prevents a disabled interrupt from being incorrectly enabled on
a different processor.

When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.
CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.
- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
when using generic irq framework.
Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.
MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch. Will test in a couple days.

Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness
varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed
IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems
although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).
A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it
doesn't help.

As suggested by Chris, we can make the "just added" method ->release
conditional to UML only (better: to archs requesting it, i.e. only UML
currently), so that other archs don't get this unneeded crud, and if UML
won't need it any more we can kill this.

With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>
Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific
free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done.
This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the
last "action" for that irq is removed.
Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always,
shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
release of that fd. For instance, for each open console a new instance
(i.e. new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().
Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
host thread and passed to poll(). Each event registered by poll() triggers
an interrupt. So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.
In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
said procedure.
Also some cosmetic improvements are included.
This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
felt as undesirable).
