[PATCH 00/15] arm/arm64: fix use of irq_find_mapping outside of legal RCU context

A number of irqchip drivers are directly calling irq_find_mapping,
which may use a rcu_read_lock call when walking the radix tree.

Turns out that if you hit that point with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU enabled,
the kernel will shout at you, as using RCU in this context may be
illegal (specially if coming from the idle state, where RCU would be
in a quiescent state).

A possible fix would be to wrap calls to irq_find_mapping into a
RCU_NONIDLE macro, but that really looks ugly.

This patch series introduce another IRQ entry point on arm and arm64
(handle_domain_irq), which has the exact same behaviour as handle_IRQ,
except that it also takes a irq_domain pointer. This allows the
logical IRQ lookup to be done inside the irq_{enter,exit} section,
which contains a rcu_irq_{enter,exit}, making it safe.

A number of irqchips are then converted to this new entry point. I've
converted all the direct users of irq_find_mapping, except for the
cases where it was used as a chained handler (chained_irq_{enter,exit}
makes it safe). Users of irq_linear_revmap are safe as well.

I've given it some light testing on arm64. The series is also
available in my tree:
