      Impact: build fix on Alpha
      
      -tip testing found this build failure on the Alpha defconfig:
      
      /home/mingo/tip/fs/proc/stat.c: In function 'show_stat':
      /home/mingo/tip/fs/proc/stat.c:48: error: implicit declaration of function 'for_each_irq_desc'
      /home/mingo/tip/fs/proc/stat.c:48: error: expected ';' before '{' token
      
      can not use irq_desc() in stat.c on older architectures.

      sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes · 0b8f1efa
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Impact: new feature
      
      Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
      NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
      larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.
      
      To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
      irq_desc pointers.
      
      When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
      this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
      request_irq()).
      
      This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
      uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.
