Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Three interrupt related fixes for X86:
- Move disabling of the local APIC after invoking fixup_irqs() to
ensure that interrupts which are incoming are noted in the IRR and
not ignored.
- Unbreak affinity setting.
The rework of the entry code reused the regular exception entry
code for device interrupts. The vector number is pushed into the
errorcode slot on the stack which is then lifted into an argument
and set to -1 because that's regs->orig_ax which is used in quite
some places to check whether the entry came from a syscall.
But it was overlooked that orig_ax is used in the affinity cleanup
code to validate whether the interrupt has arrived on the new
target. It turned out that this vector check is pointless because
interrupts are never moved from one vector to another on the same
CPU. That check is a historical leftover from the time where x86
supported multi-CPU affinities, but not longer needed with the now
strict single CPU affinity. Famous last words ...
- Add a missing check for an empty cpumask into the matrix allocator.
The affinity change added a warning to catch the case where an
interrupt is moved on the same CPU to a different vector. This
triggers because a condition with an empty cpumask returns an
assignment from the allocator as the allocator uses for_each_cpu()
without checking the cpumask for being empty. The historical
inconsistent for_each_cpu() behaviour of ignoring the cpumask and
unconditionally claiming that CPU0 is in the mask struck again.
Sigh.

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.
