Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another batch of cpu hotplug core updates and conversions:

   - Provide core infrastructure for multi instance drivers so the
     drivers do not have to keep custom lists.

   - Convert custom lists to the new infrastructure. The block-mq custom
     list conversion comes through the block tree and makes the diffstat
     tip over to more lines removed than added.

   - Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully.

   - Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support.

   - Convert another batch of notifier users.

   The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been
   shipped to me by Andrew.

   The remaining lot is targeted for 4.10 so that we finally can remove
   the rest of the notifiers"

<title>treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref</title>

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.

/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok     __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok     __ref

I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
(One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

Since commit 3b9d6da67e11 ("cpu/hotplug: Fix rollback during error-out
in __cpu_disable()") it is ensured that callbacks of CPU_ONLINE and
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE are processed on the hotplugged CPU. Due to this SMP
function calls are no longer required.

Replace smp_call_function_single() with a direct call to
ia64_mca_cmc_vector_adjust(). The function itselfs handles disable and
enable interrupts, therefore the smp_call_function_single() calling
convention is not preserved.

Use the timer API function setup_timer instead of structure field
assignments to initialize a timer.

A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch that performs
this transformation is as follows:

-init_timer(&amp;e1);
+setup_timer(&amp;e1, a, 0UL);

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &amp;__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&amp;(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &amp;__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&amp;x, this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq department proudly presents:

   - Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse.  Clear winner
     of the trainwreck engineering contest was:
         #include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h"

   - Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu
     online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask.

   - Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics.

   - Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit
     wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq()
     which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler.  Both are
     needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci
     code.

   - New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs.
     The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources
     from request/free_irq.

   - A few new ARM interrupt chips.  No revolutionary new hardware, just
     differently wreckaged variations of the scheme.

   - Small improvments, cleanups and updates all over the place"

I was hoping that that trainwreck engineering contest was a April Fools'
joke.  But no.

<title>[IA64] Keep format strings from leaking into printk</title>

The buffer being sent to printk has already had format strings
resolved. The string should not be reinterpreted again to avoid any
unintended format strings from leaking into printk.
