Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "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"

<title>ACPI: processor: Move arch_init_invariance_cppc() call later</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b79276dcac9124a79c8cf7cc8fbdd3d4c3c9a7c7</id>
<content type='text'>
arch_init_invariance_cppc() is called at the end of
acpi_cppc_processor_probe() in order to configure frequency invariance
based upon the values from _CPC.

This however doesn't work on AMD CPPC shared memory designs that have
AMD preferred cores enabled because _CPC needs to be analyzed from all
cores to judge if preferred cores are enabled.

This issue manifests to users as a warning since commit 21fb59ab4b97
("ACPI: CPPC: Adjust debug messages in amd_set_max_freq_ratio() to warn"):
```
Could not retrieve highest performance (-19)
```

However the warning isn't the cause of this, it was actually
commit 279f838a61f9 ("x86/amd: Detect preferred cores in
amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator()") which exposed the issue.

To fix this problem, change arch_init_invariance_cppc() into a new weak
symbol that is called at the end of acpi_processor_driver_init().
Each architecture that supports it can declare the symbol to override
the weak one.

Define it for x86, in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cppc.c, and for all of the
architectures using the generic arch_topology.c code.

<title>x86/amd: Use heterogeneous core topology for identifying boost numerator</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3eef25ab0d89cb1e55699a4d242c5afe17dbbd07</id>
<content type='text'>
AMD heterogeneous designs include two types of cores:

 * Performance
 * Efficiency

Each core type has different highest performance values configured by the
platform.  Drivers such as amd_pstate need to identify the type of core to
correctly set an appropriate boost numerator to calculate the maximum
frequency.

X86_FEATURE_AMD_HETEROGENEOUS_CORES is used to identify whether the SoC
supports heterogeneous core type by reading CPUID leaf Fn_0x80000026.

On performance cores the scaling factor of 196 is used.  On efficiency cores
the scaling factor is the value reported as the highest perf.  Efficiency
cores have the same preferred core rankings.

<title>objtool: Detect non-relocated text references</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ed1cb76ebdeb88cf0603b9cb543f43f09ab704a1</id>
<content type='text'>
When kernel IBT is enabled, objtool detects all text references in order
to determine which functions can be indirectly branched to.

In text, such references look like one of the following:

   mov    $0x0,%rax        R_X86_64_32S     .init.text+0x7e0a0
   lea    0x0(%rip),%rax   R_X86_64_PC32    autoremove_wake_function-0x4

Either way the function pointer is denoted by a relocation, so objtool
just reads that.

However there are some "lea xxx(%rip)" cases which don't use relocations
because they're referencing code in the same translation unit.  Objtool
doesn't have visibility to those.

The only currently known instances of that are a few hand-coded asm text
references which don't actually need ENDBR.  So it's not actually a
problem at the moment.

However if we enable -fpie, the compiler would start generating them and
there would definitely be bugs in the IBT sealing.

Detect non-relocated text references and handle them appropriately.

[ Note: I removed the manual static_call_tramp check -- that should
  already be handled by the noendbr check. ]

<content type='text'>
When running as a Xen PV dom0 the system needs to map ACPI data of the
host using host physical addresses, while those addresses can conflict
with the guest physical addresses of the loaded linux kernel. The same
problem might apply in case a PV guest is configured to use the host
memory map.

This conflict can be solved by mapping the ACPI data to a different
guest physical address, but mapping the data via acpi_os_ioremap()
must still be possible using the host physical address, as this
address might be generated by AML when referencing some of the ACPI
data.

When configured to support running as a Xen PV domain, have an
implementation of acpi_os_ioremap() being aware of the possibility to
need above mentioned translation of a host physical address to the
guest physical address.

This modification requires to #include linux/acpi.h in some sources
which need to include asm/acpi.h directly.
