[PATCH v3 0/6] IRQ affinity support in PLIC driver

From: Anup Patel
Date: Fri Nov 30 2018 - 03:02:17 EST


This patchset primarily adds IRQ affinity support in PLIC driver and
other improvements.

The patchset gives mechanism for explicitly routing external interrupts to
particular CPUs using smp_affinity attribute of each Linux IRQs. Also, we
can now use IRQ balancer from kernel-space or user-space.

The patchset is tested on QEMU virt machine. It is based on Linux-4.20-rc4
and can be found at riscv_plic_irq_affinity_v3 branch of:
https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git

Changes since v2:
- Fixed incorrect address of enable registers using sizeof(u32) in PATCH1
- Retained comment about need for locking in PATCH1
- Split PATCH2 into two patches
- Split PATCH3 into two patches
- Minor fix in commit description of PATCH4

Changes since v1:
- Removed few whitspace changes from PATCH1
- Keep use of DEFINE_PER_CPU() as it is

irqchip: sifive-plic: Add struct plic_hw for global PLIC HW details
irqchip: sifive-plic: More flexible plic_irq_toggle()
irqchip: sifive-plic: Add warning in plic_init() if handler already
present
