Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of updates for the interrupt core subsystem:
- Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for
addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem.
It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks
for initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain
RISCV implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the
overhead of masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during
operation when the underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt.
The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request.
- Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq()
This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the
usage sites.
- Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers
Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and
tracking them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be
enabled with a threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a
static branch to remove the overhead when disabled.
- Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug
interrupt migration logic
- Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels,
which causes contention and latencies all over the place.
The serialization requirements have been pushed down into the
actual affected usage sites already.
- The usual small cleanups and improvements"

============
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 reStructuredText 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.
