[PATCH 3.18-rc4 v10 3/6] irqchip: gic: Make gic_raise_softirq FIQ-safe

[Daniel Thompson]

It is currently possible for FIQ handlers to re-enter gic_raise_softirq()
and lock up.

    	gic_raise_softirq()
	   lock(x);
-~-> FIQ
        handle_fiq()
	   gic_raise_softirq()
	      lock(x);		<-- Lockup

Calling printk() from a FIQ handler can trigger this problem because
printk() raises an IPI when it needs to wake_up_klogd(). More generally,
IPIs are the only means for FIQ handlers to safely defer work to less
restrictive calling context so the function to raise them really needs
to be FIQ-safe.

This patch fixes the problem by converting the cpu_map_migration_lock
into a rwlock making it safe to re-enter the function.

Having made it safe to re-enter gic_raise_softirq() we no longer need to
mask interrupts during gic_raise_softirq() because the b.L migration is
always performed from task context.
