Merge branch 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull irq updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The changes in this cycle were:

   - Remove the irq timings/variance statistics code that tried to
     predict when the next interrupt would occur, which didn't work out
     as hoped and is replaced by another mechanism.

   - This new mechanism is the 'array suffix computation' estimate,
     which is superior to the previous one as it can detect not just a
     single periodic pattern, but independent periodic patterns along a
     log-2 scale of bucketing and exponential moving average. The
     comments are longer than the code - and it works better at
     predicting various complex interrupt patterns from real-world
     devices than the previous estimate.

   - avoid IRQ-work self-IPIs on the local CPU

   - fix work-list corruption in irq_set_affinity_notifier()"

* 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  irq_work: Do not raise an IPI when queueing work on the local CPU
  genirq/devres: Use struct_size() in devm_kzalloc()
  genirq/timings: Add array suffix computation code
  genirq/timings: Remove variance computation code
  genirq: Prevent use-after-free and work list corruption
