Linus Torvalds f8818559ca Two fixes for the x86 interrupt code:
- Unbreak the magic 'search the timer interrupt' logic in IO/APIC code
     which got wreckaged when the core interrupt code made the state
     tracking logic stricter. That caused the interrupt line to stay masked
     after switching from IO/APIC to PIC delivery mode, which obviously
     prevents interrupts from being delivered.
 
   - Make run_on_irqstack_code() typesafe. The function argument is a void
     pointer which is then casted to 'void (*fun)(void *). This breaks
     Control Flow Integrity checking in clang. Use proper helper functions
     for the three variants reuqired.

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.
