Need help: how to locate failure from irq_chip subsystem

[Pintu Agarwal]

Hi All,

Currently, I am trying to debug a boot up crash on some qualcomm
snapdragon arm64 board with kernel 4.9.
I could find the cause of the failure, but I am unable to locate from
which subsystem/drivers this is getting triggered.
If you have any ideas or suggestions to locate the issue, please let me know.

This is the snapshot of crash logs:
[    6.907065] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
virtual address 00000000
[    6.973938] PC is at 0x0

[    6.288581] [PINTU]: __ipipe_ack_fasteoi_irq - called
[    6.293698] [PINTU]: __ipipe_ack_fasteoi_irq:
desc->irq_data.chip->irq_hold is NULL

When I check, I found that the irq_hold implementation is missing in
one of the irq_chip driver (expected by ipipe), which I am supposed to
implement.

But I am unable to locate which irq_chip driver.
If there are any good techniques to locate this in kernel, please help.


Thanks,
Pintu
