      Update the RISC-V MAINTAINERS file · 6572cc2b
      Palmer Dabbelt authored
      
      
      Now that we're upstream in Linux we've been able to make some
      infrastructure changes so our port works a bit more like other ports.
      Specifically:
      
      * We now have a mailing list specific to the RISC-V Linux port, hosted
        at lists.infreadead.org.
      * We now have a kernel.org git tree where work on our port is
        coordinated.
      
      This patch changes the RISC-V maintainers entry to reflect these new
      bits of infrastructure.

        causes more problems later in the shutdown sequence, but wbinvd
        instructions while the system is still active are not problematic.

      x86: Use __nostackprotect for sme_encrypt_kernel · 91cfc88c
      Laura Abbott authored
      Commit bacf6b49 ("x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME
      PGD mapping") moved some parameters into a structure.
      
      The structure was large enough to trigger the stack protection canary in
      sme_encrypt_kernel which doesn't work this early, causing reboots.
      
      Mark sme_encrypt_kernel appropriately to not use the canary.

      alpha/PCI: Fix noname IRQ level detection · 86be8993
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored
      The conversion of the alpha architecture PCI host bridge legacy IRQ
      mapping/swizzling to the new PCI host bridge map/swizzle hooks carried
      out through:
      
      commit 0e4c2eeb ("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with
      host bridge IRQ mapping hooks")
      
      implies that IRQ for devices are now allocated through pci_assign_irq()
      function in pci_device_probe() that is called when a driver matching a
      device is found in order to probe the device through the device driver.
      
      Alpha noname platforms required IRQ level programming to be executed
      in sio_fixup_irq_levels(), that is called in noname_init_pci(), a
      platform hook called within a subsys_initcall.
      
      In noname_init_pci(), present IRQs are detected through
      sio_collect_irq_levels() that check the struct pci_dev->irq number
      to detect if an IRQ has been allocated for the device.
      
      By the time sio_collect_irq_levels() is called, some devices may still
      have not a matching driver loaded to match them (eg loadable module)
      therefore their IRQ allocation is still pending - which means that
      sio_collect_irq_levels() does not programme the correct IRQ level for
      those devices, causing their IRQ handling to be broken when the device
      driver is actually loaded and the device is probed.
      
      Fix the issue by adding code in the noname map_irq() function
      (noname_map_irq()) that, whilst mapping/swizzling the IRQ line, it also
      ensures that the correct IRQ level programming is executed at platform
      level, fixing the issue.
      
      Fixes: 0e4c2eeb
