free_irq() ensures that no hardware interrupt handler is executing on a
different CPU before actually releasing resources and deactivating the
interrupt completely in a domain hierarchy.

But that does not catch the case where the interrupt is on flight at the
hardware level but not yet serviced by the target CPU. That creates an
interesing race condition:

   CPU 0                  CPU 1               IRQ CHIP

                                              interrupt is raised
                                              sent to CPU1
			  Unable to handle
			  immediately
			  (interrupts off,
			   deep idle delay)
   mask()
   ...
   free()
     shutdown()
     synchronize_irq()
     release_resources()
                          do_IRQ()
                            -> resources are not available

That might be harmless and just trigger a spurious interrupt warning, but
some interrupt chips might get into a wedged state.

Utilize the existing irq_get_irqchip_state() callback for the
synchronization in free_irq().

synchronize_hardirq() is not using this mechanism as it might actually
deadlock unter certain conditions, e.g. when called with interrupts
disabled and the target CPU is the one on which the synchronization is
invoked. synchronize_irq() uses it because that function cannot be called
from non preemtible contexts as it might sleep.

No functional change intended and according to Marc the existing GIC
implementations where the driver supports the callback should be able
to cope with that core change. Famous last words.

When interrupts are shutdown, they are immediately deactivated in the
irqdomain hierarchy. While this looks obviously correct there is a subtle
issue:

There might be an interrupt in flight when free_irq() is invoking the
shutdown. This is properly handled at the irq descriptor / primary handler
level, but the deactivation might completely disable resources which are
required to acknowledge the interrupt.

Split the shutdown code and deactivate the interrupt after synchronization
in free_irq(). Fixup all other usage sites where this is not an issue to
invoke the combined shutdown_and_deactivate() function instead.

This still might be an issue if the interrupt in flight servicing is
delayed on a remote CPU beyond the invocation of synchronize_irq(), but
that cannot be handled at that level and needs to be handled in the
synchronize_irq() context.

Recent Intel chipsets including Skylake and ApolloLake have a special
ITSSPRC register which allows the 8254 PIT to be gated.  When gated, the
8254 registers can still be programmed as normal, but there are no IRQ0
timer interrupts.

Some products such as the Connex L1430 and exone go Rugged E11 use this
register to ship with the PIT gated by default. This causes Linux to fail
to boot:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with
  apic=debug and send a report.

The panic happens before the framebuffer is initialized, so to the user, it
appears as an early boot hang on a black screen.

Affected products typically have a BIOS option that can be used to enable
the 8254 and make Linux work (Chipset -> South Cluster Configuration ->
Miscellaneous Configuration -> 8254 Clock Gating), however it would be best
to make Linux support the no-8254 case.

Modern sytems allow to discover the TSC and local APIC timer frequencies,
so the calibration against the PIT is not required. These systems have
always running timers and the local APIC timer works also in deep power
states.

So the setup of the PIT including the IO-APIC timer interrupt delivery
checks are a pointless exercise.

Skip the PIT setup and the IO-APIC timer interrupt checks on these systems,
which avoids the panic caused by non ticking PITs and also speeds up the
boot process.

Thanks to Daniel for providing the changelog, initial analysis of the
problem and testing against a variety of machines.

The APIC timer calibration (calibrate_APIC_timer()) can be skipped
in cases where we know the APIC timer frequency. On Intel SoCs,
we believe that the APIC is fed by the crystal clock; this would make
sense, and the crystal clock frequency has been verified against the
APIC timer calibration result on ApolloLake, GeminiLake, Kabylake,
CoffeeLake, WhiskeyLake and AmberLake.

Set lapic_timer_period based on the crystal clock frequency
accordingly.

APIC timer calibration would normally be skipped on modern CPUs
by nature of the TSC deadline timer being used instead,
however this change is still potentially useful, e.g. if the
TSC deadline timer has been disabled with a kernel parameter.
calibrate_APIC_timer() uses the legacy timer, but we are seeing
new platforms that omit such legacy functionality, so avoiding
such codepaths is becoming more important.

native_calibrate_tsc() had a data mapping Intel CPU families
and crystal clock speed, but hardcoded tables are not ideal, and this
approach was already problematic at least in the Skylake X case, as
seen in commit:

  b5112030 ("x86/tsc: Fix erroneous TSC rate on Skylake Xeon")

By examining CPUID data from http://instlatx64.atw.hu/ and units
in the lab, we have found that 3 different scenarios need to be dealt
with, and we can eliminate most of the hardcoded data using an approach a
little more advanced than before:

 1. ApolloLake, GeminiLake, CannonLake (and presumably all new chipsets
    from this point) report the crystal frequency directly via CPUID.0x15.
    That's definitive data that we can rely upon.

 2. Skylake, Kabylake and all variants of those two chipsets report a
    crystal frequency of zero, however we can calculate the crystal clock
    speed by condidering data from CPUID.0x16.

    This method correctly distinguishes between the two crystal clock
    frequencies present on different Skylake X variants that caused
    headaches before.

    As the calculations do not quite match the previously-hardcoded values
    in some cases (e.g. 23913043Hz instead of 24MHz), TSC refinement is
    enabled on all platforms where we had to calculate the crystal
    frequency in this way.

 3. Denverton (GOLDMONT_X) reports a crystal frequency of zero and does
    not support CPUID.0x16, so we leave this entry hardcoded.

Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few
  weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code
  meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean
  it all up! :-)

  Here's the changes in Thomas's words:

   'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters
    which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded
    into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage
    overhead for no benefit.

    Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an
    interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on
    stack, global or embedded into some other data structure.

    Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but
    fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for
    nothing and does not have functional impact.

    Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace
    with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what
    determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call
    sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty
    comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do,
    do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or
    unconditionally.

    The following series cleans that up by:

      1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code

      2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites

      3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace
         and stackdepot.

      4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related
         cleanups.

      5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces

    This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the
    architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic
    code'"
