Merge tag 'irq-core-2021-08-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates to the interrupt core and driver subsystems:
Core changes:
- The usual set of small fixes and improvements all over the place,
but nothing stands out
MSI changes:
- Further consolidation of the PCI/MSI interrupt chip code
- Make MSI sysfs code independent of PCI/MSI and expose the MSI
interrupts of platform devices in the same way as PCI exposes them.
Driver changes:
- Support for ARM GICv3 EPPI partitions
- Treewide conversion to generic_handle_domain_irq() for all chained
interrupt controllers
- Conversion to bitmap_zalloc() throughout the irq chip drivers
- The usual set of small fixes and improvements"
