      irqchip/gic: Deal with broken firmware exposing only 4kB of GICv2 CPU interface · 0962289b
      Marc Zyngier authored
      There is a lot of broken firmware out there that don't really
      expose the information the kernel requires when it comes with dealing
      with GICv2:
      
      (1) Firmware that only describes the first 4kB of GICv2
      (2) Firmware that describe 128kB of CPU interface, while
          the usable portion of the address space is between
          60 and 68kB
      
      So far, we only deal with (2). But we have platforms exhibiting
      behaviour (1), resulting in two sub-cases:
      (a) The GIC is occupying 8kB, as required by the GICv2 architecture
      (b) It is actually spread 128kB, and this is likely to be a version
          of (2)
      
      This patch tries to work around both (a) and (b) by poking at
      the outside of the described memory region, and try to work out
      what is actually there. This is of course unsafe, and should
      only be enabled if there is no way to otherwise fix the DT provided
      by the firmware (we provide a "irqchip.gicv2_force_probe" option
      to that effect).
      
      Note that for the time being, we restrict ourselves to GICv2
      implementations provided by ARM, since there I have no knowledge
      of an alternative implementations. This could be relaxed if such
      an implementation comes to light on a broken platform.

      irqchip/gic-v3-its: Setup VLPI properties at map time · d4d7b4ad
      Marc Zyngier authored
      So far, we require the hypervisor to update the VLPI properties
      once the the VLPI mapping has been established. While this
      makes it easy for the ITS driver, it creates a window where
      an incoming interrupt can be delivered with an unknown set
      of properties. Not very nice.
      
      Instead, let's add a "properties" field to the mapping structure,
      and use that to configure the VLPI before it actually gets mapped.

         - Avoid dereferencing an unprotected VMA pointer in the fault signal

           which results in excessive extra 'mov %rsp, %<dst>' instructions

      Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "This adds a new timer wheel function which is required for the
        conversion of the timer callback function from the 'unsigned long
        data' argument to 'struct timer_list *timer'. This conversion has two
        benefits:
      
         1) It makes struct timer_list smaller
      
         2) Many callers hand in a pointer to the timer or to the structure
            containing the timer, which happens via type casting both at setup
            and in the callback. This change gets rid of the typecasts.
      
        Once the conversion is complete, which is planned for 4.15, the old
        setup function and the intermediate typecast in the new setup function
        go away along with the data field in struct timer_list.
      
        Merging this now into mainline allows a smooth queueing of the actual
        conversion in the affected maintainer trees without creating
        dependencies"
