x86-irq-2021-06-29

X86 interrupt related changes:

  - Consolidate the VECTOR defines and the usage sites.

  - Cleanup GDT/IDT related code and replace open coded ASM with proper
    native helfper functions.

x86-entry-2021-06-29

X86 entry code related updates:

 - Consolidate the macros for .byte ... opcode sequences

 - Deduplicate register offset defines in include files

 - Simplify the ia32,x32 compat handling of the related syscall tables to
   get rid of #ifdeffery.

 - Clear all EFLAGS which are not required for syscall handling

 - Consolidate the syscall tables and switch the generation over to the
   generic shell script and remove the CFLAGS tweaks which are not longer
   required.

 - Use 'int' type for system call numbers to match the generic code.

 - Add more selftests for syscalls

A fix for the CPU hotplug and cpusets interaction:

cpusets delegate the hotplug work to a workqueue to prevent a lock order
inversion vs. the CPU hotplug lock. The work is not flushed before the
hotplug operation returns which creates user visible inconsistent state.
Prevent this by flushing the work after dropping CPU hotplug lock and
before releasing the outer mutex which serializes the CPU hotplug related
sysfs interface operations.

smp-core-2021-06-29

A simple cleanup for the CPU hotplug code to avoid per_cpu_ptr()
reevaluation.

irq-core-2021-06-29

Updates for the interrupt subsystem:

Core changes:

  - Cleanup and simplification of common code to invoke the low level
    interrupt flow handlers when this invocation requires irqdomain
    resolution. Add the necessary core infrastructure.

  - Provide a proper interface for modular PMU drivers to set the
    interrupt affinity.

  - Add a request flag which allows to exclude interrupts from spurious
    interrupt detection. Useful especially for IPI handlers which always
    return IRQ_HANDLED which turns the spurious interrupt detection into a
    pointless waste of CPU cycles.

Driver changes:

  - Bulk convert interrupt chip drivers to the new irqdomain low level flow
    handler invocation mechanism.

  - Add device tree bindings for the Renesas R-Car M3-W+ SoC

  - Enable modular build of the Qualcomm PDC driver

  - The usual small fixes and improvements.

x86_sev_for_v5.14_rc1

- Differentiate the type of exception the #VC handler raises depending
on code executed in the guest and handle the case where failure to
get the RIP would result in a #GP, as it should, instead of in a #PF

- Disable interrupts while the per-CPU GHCB is held

- Split the #VC handler depending on where the #VC exception has
happened and therefore provide for precise context tracking like the
rest of the exception handlers deal with noinstr regions now

- Add defines for the GHCB version 2 protocol so that further shared
development with KVM can happen without merge conflicts

- The usual small cleanups

x86_cpu_for_v5.14_rc1

- New AMD models support

- Allow MONITOR/MWAIT to be used for C1 state entry on Hygon too

- Use the special RAPL CPUID bit to detect the functionality on AMD and
  Hygon instead of doing family matching.

- Add support for new Intel microcode deprecating TSX on some models and
do not enable kernel workarounds for those CPUs when TSX transactions
always abort, as a result of that microcode update.

ras_core_for_v5.14_rc1

- Add the required information to the faked APEI-reported mem error so
that the kernel properly attempts to offline the corresponding page, as
it does for kernel-detected correctable errors.

- Fix a typo in AMD's error descriptions.

x86-splitlock-2021-06-28

Changes in this cycle were:

 - Add the "ratelimit:N" parameter to the split_lock_detect= boot option,
   to rate-limit the generation of bus-lock exceptions. This is both
   easier on system resources and kinder to offending applications than
   the current policy of outright killing them.

 - Document the split-lock detection feature and its parameters.

 - Misc cleanups and fixes

x86-apic-2021-06-28

CPU setup code changes:

 - Clean up & simplify AP exception handling setup.

 - Consolidate the disjoint IDT setup code living in
   idt_setup_traps() and idt_setup_ist_traps() into
   a single idt_setup_traps() initialization function
   and call it before cpu_init().
