Linus Torvalds 5c2b050848 A set of updates for the interrupt subsystem:
- Tree wide:
 
     * Make nr_irqs static to the core code and provide accessor functions
       to remove existing and prevent future aliasing problems with local
       variables or function arguments of the same name.
 
   - Core code:
 
     * Prevent freeing an interrupt in the devres code which is not managed
       by devres in the first place.
 
     * Use seq_put_decimal_ull_width() for decimal values output in
       /proc/interrupts which increases performance significantly as it
       avoids parsing the format strings over and over.
 
     * Optimize raising the timer and hrtimer soft interrupts by using the
       'set bit only' variants instead of the combined version which checks
       whether ksoftirqd should be woken up. The latter is a pointless
       exercise as both soft interrupts are raised in the context of the
       timer interrupt and therefore never wake up ksoftirqd.
 
     * Delegate timer/hrtimer soft interrupt processing to a dedicated thread
       on RT.
 
       Timer and hrtimer soft interrupts are always processed in ksoftirqd
       on RT enabled kernels. This can lead to high latencies when other
       soft interrupts are delegated to ksoftirqd as well.
 
       The separate thread allows to run them seperately under a RT
       scheduling policy to reduce the latency overhead.
 
   - Drivers:
 
     * New drivers or extensions of existing drivers to support Renesas
       RZ/V2H(P), Aspeed AST27XX, T-HEAD C900 and ATMEL sam9x7 interrupt
       chips
 
     * Support for multi-cluster GICs on MIPS.
 
       MIPS CPUs can come with multiple CPU clusters, where each CPU cluster
       has its own GIC (Generic Interrupt Controller). This requires to
       access the GIC of a remote cluster through a redirect register block.
 
       This is encapsulated into a set of helper functions to keep the
       complexity out of the actual code paths which handle the GIC details.
 
     * Support for encrypted guests in the ARM GICV3 ITS driver
 
       The ITS page needs to be shared with the hypervisor and therefore
       must be decrypted.
 
     * Small cleanups and fixes all over the place
