The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by the irq infrastructure. The two big issues I address are an artificially small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq. My primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where necessary to keep them from breaking. - To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu, vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector. With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit. Removing a lot of brittle special cases. For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi. - Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more patches. But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code even knows what a vector is. In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number. This driver is clearly buggy today. But this has become a class of bugs that it is now much easier to hit. This patch: This is a minor space optimization. In practice I don't think this has any affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.

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 two branch predictors should be inverted.

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.
