Clean up the existing export namespace code along the same lines of
commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo)
to __section("foo")") and for the same reason, it is not desired for the
namespace argument to be a macro expansion itself.

<title>Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct</title>

<content type='text'>
The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.

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"

<id>urn:sha1:afc545da381ba0c651b2658966ac737032676f01</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes an issue in the function xenbus_dev_probe(). In the
xenbus_dev_probe() function, within the if (err) branch at line 313, the
program incorrectly returns err directly without releasing the resources
allocated by err = drv-&gt;probe(dev, id). As the return value is non-zero,
the upper layers assume the processing logic has failed. However, the probe
operation was performed earlier without a corresponding remove operation.
Since the probe actually allocates resources, failing to perform the remove
operation could lead to problems.

To fix this issue, we followed the resource release logic of the
xenbus_dev_remove() function by adding a new block fail_remove before the
fail_put block. After entering the branch if (err) at line 313, the
function will use a goto statement to jump to the fail_remove block,
ensuring that the previously acquired resources are correctly released,
thus preventing the reference count leak.

This bug was identified by an experimental static analysis tool developed
by our team. The tool specializes in analyzing reference count operations
and detecting potential issues where resources are not properly managed.
In this case, the tool flagged the missing release operation as a
potential problem, which led to the development of this patch.

in all of those failure exits prior to fdget() are plain returns and
the only thing done after fdput() is (on failure exits) a kfree(),
which can be done before fdput() just fine.

NOTE: in acrn_irqfd_assign() 'fail:' failure exit is wrong for
eventfd_ctx_fileget() failure (we only want fdput() there) and once
we stop doing that, it doesn't need to check if eventfd is NULL or
ERR_PTR(...) there.

NOTE: in privcmd we move fdget() up before the allocation - more
to the point, before the copy_from_user() attempt.

Commit 2fae6bb7be32 ("xen/privcmd: Add new syscall to get gsi from dev")
adds a weak reverse dependency to the config XEN_PRIVCMD definition, that
dependency causes xen-privcmd can't be loaded on domU, because dependent
xen-pciback isn't always be loaded successfully on domU.

To solve above problem, remove that dependency, and do not call
pcistub_get_gsi_from_sbdf() directly, instead add a hook in
drivers/xen/apci.c, xen-pciback register the real call function, then in
privcmd_ioctl_pcidev_get_gsi call that hook.
