Message-Id: <1316105551-17505-1-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com> Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:52:28 +0100 From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@....com> To: linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Bryan Huntsman <bryanh@...eaurora.org>, David Brown <davidb@...eaurora.org>, Kukjin Kim <kgene.kim@...sung.com>, Magnus Damm <magnus.damm@...il.com>, Paul Mundt <lethal@...ux-sh.org>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Tony Lindgren <tony@...mide.com> Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] genirq: handling GIC per-cpu interrupts The current GIC per-cpu interrupts (aka PPIs) suffer from a number of problems: - They use a completely separate scheme to handle the interrupts, mostly because the PPI concept doesn't really match the kernel view of an interrupt. - PPIs can only be used by the timer code, unless we add more low-level assembly code. - The local timer code can only be used by devices generating PPIs, and not SPIs. - At least one platform (msm) has started implementing its own alternative scheme. - Some low-level code gets duplicated, as usual... The proposed solution is to handle the PPIs using the same path as SPIs. A new core API is added to deal with per-cpu interrupts in a less awkward way. The local timer code is updated to reflect these changes. The core API changes are based on an initial patch by Thomas Gleixner. Tested on ARM Versatile Express (Cortex A5 and A15), ARM RealView PB11MP, OMAP4 (Panda) and Tegra (Harmony). Patch series against next-20110831.
