Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"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 cast 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.
