commit feb92d7d38 "(ARC: perf: don't bail setup if pct irq
missing in device-tree)" introduced a silly brown-paper bag bug:
The assignment and comparison in an if statement were not bracketed
correctly leaving the order of evaluation undefined.

| if (has_interrupts && (irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0) >= 0)) {
| ^^^ ^^^^
And given such a chance, the compiler will bite you hard, fully entitled
to generating this piece of beauty:
|
| # if (has_interrupts && (irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0) >= 0)) {
|
| bl.d @platform_get_irq <-- irq returned in r0
|
| setge r2, r0, 0 <-- r2 is bool 1 or 0 if irq >= 0 true/false
| brlt.d r0, 0, @.L114
|
| st_s r2,[sp] <-- irq saved is bool 1 or 0, not actual return val
| st 1,[r3,160] # arc_pmu.18_29->irq <-- drops bool and assumes 1
|
| # return __request_percpu_irq(irq, handler, 0,
|
| bl.d @__request_percpu_irq;
| mov_s r0,1 <-- drops even bool and assumes 1 which fails
With the snafu fixed, everything is as expected.
| bl.d @platform_get_irq <-- returns irq in r0
|
| mov_s r2,r0
| brlt.d r2, 0, @.L112
|
| st_s r0,[sp] <-- irq isaved is actual return value above
| st r0,[r13,160] #arc_pmu.18_27->irq
|
| bl.d @__request_percpu_irq <-- r0 unchanged so actual irq returned
| add r4,r4,r12 #, tmp363, __ptr

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.
