      genirq: Provide irq_wake_thread() · a92444c6
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      In course of the sdhci/sdio discussion with Russell about killing the
      sdio kthread hackery we discovered the need to be able to wake an
      interrupt thread from software.
      
      The rationale for this is, that sdio hardware can lack proper
      interrupt support for certain features. So the driver needs to poll
      the status registers, but at the same time it needs to be woken up by
      an hardware interrupt.
      
      To be able to get rid of the home brewn kthread construct of sdio we
      need a way to wake an irq thread independent of an actual hardware
      interrupt.
      
      Provide an irq_wake_thread() function which wakes up the thread which
      is associated to a given dev_id. This allows sdio to invoke the irq
      thread from the hardware irq handler via the IRQ_WAKE_THREAD return
      value and provides a possibility to wake it via a timer for the
      polling scenarios. That allows to simplify the sdio logic
      significantly.

      genirq: Add support for per-cpu dev_id interrupts · 31d9d9b6
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      The ARM GIC interrupt controller offers per CPU interrupts (PPIs),
      which are usually used to connect local timers to each core. Each CPU
      has its own private interface to the GIC, and only sees the PPIs that
      are directly connect to it.
      
      While these timers are separate devices and have a separate interrupt
      line to a core, they all use the same IRQ number.
      
      For these devices, request_irq() is not the right API as it assumes
      that an IRQ number is visible by a number of CPUs (through the
      affinity setting), but makes it very awkward to express that an IRQ
      number can be handled by all CPUs, and yet be a different interrupt
      line on each CPU, requiring a different dev_id cookie to be passed
      back to the handler.
      
      The *_percpu_irq() functions is designed to overcome these
      limitations, by providing a per-cpu dev_id vector:
      
      int request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
      		   const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);
      void free_percpu_irq(unsigned int, void __percpu *);
      int setup_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *new);
      void remove_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *act);
      void enable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
      void disable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
      
      The API has a number of limitations:
      - no interrupt sharing
      - no threading
      - common handler across all the CPUs
      
      Once the interrupt is requested using setup_percpu_irq() or
      request_percpu_irq(), it must be enabled by each core that wishes its
      local interrupt to be delivered.
      
      Based on an initial patch by Thomas Gleixner.

      genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading · 8d32a307
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
      those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
      allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
      "threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
      impact in the interrupt hotpath.
      
      Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
      marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
      interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
      IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.
      
      Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
      handling into thread context.
      
      When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
      interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
      crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.
