[PATCH] arm64: kdump: fix interrupt handling done during machine_crash_shutdown

[Grzegorz Jaszczyk]

Hitherto during machine_kexec_mask_interrupts there was an attempt to
remove active state using irq_set_irqchip_state() routine and only if it
failed, the attempt to EOI the interrupt was made. Nevertheless relaying
on return value from irq_set_irqchip_state inside
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts is incorrect - it only returns the status
of the routine but doesn't provide information if the interrupt was
deactivated correctly or not. Therefore the irq_eoi wasn't call even if
the interrupt remained active.

To determine the sate correctly the irq_get_irqchip_state() could be
used but according to the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture
Spec, non-secure reading from GICD_ISACTIVERn/GICD_ICACTIVERn can be not
permitted (depending on NS_access setting of Non-secure Access Control
Registers, a.k.a. GICD_NSACRn). What is more interesting GICD_NSACRn
is optional Secure register.

Moreover de-activating the interrupt via GICD_ISACTIVERn register
(regardless of the possibility of checking status or not) seems to not
do the job, when the GIC Distributor is configured to forward the
interrupts to the CPU interfaces.

Because of all above the attempt to deactivate interrupts via
irq_set_irqchip_state() is removed in this patch. Instead the irq_eoi is
called whenever the interrupt is in progress(irqd_irq_inprogress).

Before this patch the kdump triggered from interrupt context worked
correctly by accident when the GIC was configured with
GIC_CPU_CTRL_EOImodeNS == 1 (supports_deactivate == true). In mentioned
mode GIC_CPU_EOI has priority drop functionality only and
GIC_CPU_DEACTIVATE is used for interrupt deactivation. Also the
gic_handle_irq behaviour is a bit different in mentioned mode and
performs write to the GIC_CPU_EOI which causes the priority drop to the
idle priority. So even if the irq_eoi wasn't called during
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts, the interrupts of the crashdump kernel
was handled due to interrupt preemption (since the priority of still
active interrupt was dropped to idle priority).

Nevertheless when the kdump was triggered from interrupt context while
the GIC was configured to work in GIC_CPU_CTRL_EOImodeNS == 0, the
crashdump kernel hang in early stage due to lack of timer interrupt
arrival.

After this fix the kdump behaves correctly when triggered from interrupt
context independently of GIC_CPU_CTRL_EOImodeNS configuration.
