[PATCH v7 0/6] New RISC-V Local Interrupt Controller Driver

From: Anup Patel
Date: Mon Jun 01 2020 - 05:16:13 EST


This patchset provides a new RISC-V Local Interrupt Controller Driver
for managing per-CPU local interrupts. The overall approach is inspired
from the way per-CPU local interrupts are handled by Linux ARM64 and
ARM GICv3 driver.

It is a major re-write over perviously submitted version.
(Refer, https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg241230.html)

Few advantages of this new driver over previous one are:
1. All local interrupts are registered as per-CPU interrupts
2. The RISC-V timer driver can register timer interrupt handler
using kernel irq subsystem without relying on arch/riscv to
explicitly call it's interrupt handler
3. The KVM RISC-V can use this driver to implement interrupt
handler for per-HART guest external interrupt defined by
the RISC-V H-Extension
4. In future, we can develop drivers for devices with per-HART
interrupts without changing arch code or this driver (example,
CLINT timer driver for RISC-V M-mode kernel)

With this patchset, output of "cat /proc/interrupts" looks as follows:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
2: 379 0 0 0 SiFive PLIC 10 ttyS0
3: 591 0 0 0 SiFive PLIC 8 virtio0
5: 5079 10821 8435 12984 RISC-V INTC 5 riscv-timer
IPI0: 2045 2537 891 870 Rescheduling interrupts
IPI1: 9 269 91 168 Function call interrupts
IPI2: 0 0 0 0 CPU stop interrupts

The patchset is based upon Linux-5.7 and can be found at riscv_intc_v7
branch of: https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git

This series is tested on:
1. QEMU RV64 virt machine using Linux RISC-V S-mode
2. QEMU RV32 virt machine using Linux RISC-V S-mode
3. QEMU RV64 virt machine using Linux RISC-V M-mode (i.e. NoMMU)

Changes since v6:
- Rebased patches on Linux-5.7 and tested with runtime CPU hotplug
- Minor changes in PATCH3 as suggested by Marc Z
- Don't programm PLIC threshold for CPU_OFF in PATCH3
- Simplified finding IRQ domain in riscv_timer_init_dt() of PATCH4

Changes since v5:
- Rebased to Linux-5.7-rc7 with PLIC improvement patches
- Removed riscv_of_parent_hartid() from PATCH3
- Addressed other minor comments from Palmer and Marc Z

Changes since v4:
- Rebased to Linux-5.7-rc6 and multi-PLIC improvement patches
- Added separate patch to force select RISCV_INTC for CONFIG_RISCV
- Fixed the driver for Linux RISC-V NoMMU

Changes since v3:
- Rebased to Linux-5.6-rc5 and Atish's PLIC patches
- Added separate patch to rename and move plic_find_hart_id()
to arch directory
- Use riscv_of_parent_hartid() in riscv_intc_init() instead of
atomic counter

Changes since v2:
- Dropped PATCH2 since it was merged long-time back
- Rebased series from Linux-4.19-rc2 to Linux-5.6-rc2

Changes since v1:
- Removed changes related to puggable IPI triggering
- Separate patch for self-contained IPI handling routine
- Removed patch for GENERIC_IRQ kconfig options
- Added patch to remove do_IRQ() function
- Rebased upon Atish's SMP patches
