      genirq: Disable interrupts for force threaded handlers · 81e2073c
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      With interrupt force threading all device interrupt handlers are invoked
from kernel threads. Contrary to hard interrupt context the invocation only
disables bottom halfs, but not interrupts. This was an oversight back then
because any code like this will have an issue:

thread(irq_A)
  irq_handler(A)
    spin_lock(&foo->lock);

interrupt(irq_B)
  irq_handler(B)
    spin_lock(&foo->lock);

This has been triggered with networking (NAPI vs. hrtimers) and console
drivers where printk() happens from an interrupt which interrupted the
force threaded handler.

Now people noticed and started to change the spin_lock() in the handler to
spin_lock_irqsave() which affects performance or add IRQF_NOTHREAD to the
interrupt request which in turn breaks RT.

Fix the root cause and not the symptom and disable interrupts before
invoking the force threaded handler which preserves the regular semantics
and the usefulness of the interrupt force threading as a general debugging
tool.

For not RT this is not changing much, except that during the execution of
the threaded handler interrupts are delayed until the handler
returns. Vs. scheduling and softirq processing there is no difference.

For RT kernels there is no issue.

Fixes: 8d32a307 ("genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading")

      Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "A handful of fixes for 5.12:

   - fix the SBI remote fence numbers for hypervisor fences, which had
     been transcribed in the wrong order in Linux. These fences are only
     used with the KVM patches applied.

   - fix a whole host of build warnings, these should have no functional
     change.

   - fix init_resources() to prevent an off-by-one error from causing an
     out-of-bounds array reference. This was manifesting during boot on
     vexriscv.

   - ensure the KASAN mappings are visible before proceeding to use
     them"
