Linus Torvalds dcc5c6f013 Three interrupt related fixes for X86:
- Move disabling of the local APIC after invoking fixup_irqs() to ensure
    that interrupts which are incoming are noted in the IRR and not ignored.
 
  - Unbreak affinity setting. The rework of the entry code reused the
    regular exception entry code for device interrupts. The vector number is
    pushed into the errorcode slot on the stack which is then lifted into an
    argument and set to -1 because that's regs->orig_ax which is used in
    quite some places to check whether the entry came from a syscall. But it
    was overlooked that orig_ax is used in the affinity cleanup code to
    validate whether the interrupt has arrived on the new target. It turned
    out that this vector check is pointless because interrupts are never
    moved from one vector to another on the same CPU. That check is a
    historical leftover from the time where x86 supported multi-CPU
    affinities, but not longer needed with the now strict single CPU
    affinity. Famous last words ...
 
  - Add a missing check for an empty cpumask into the matrix allocator. The
    affinity change added a warning to catch the case where an interrupt is
    moved on the same CPU to a different vector. This triggers because a
    condition with an empty cpumask returns an assignment from the allocator
    as the allocator uses for_each_cpu() without checking the cpumask for
    being empty. The historical inconsistent for_each_cpu() behaviour of
    ignoring the cpumask and unconditionally claiming that CPU0 is in the
    mask striked again. Sigh.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
