commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream.

Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded
interrupts is broken in two ways:

- note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared
  interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none
  of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by
  calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account
  IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible.

- note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not
  serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for
  the spurious detection unprotected.

To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded
interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have
implicit serialization.

If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we
check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If
not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and
return.

If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled
success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the
spurious detector.

If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we
disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have
found at least one device driver who cared.

<title>genirq: Add an accessor for IRQ_PER_CPU flag</title>

This patch adds an accessor function for IRQ_PER_CPU flag.
The accessor function is useful to determine whether an IRQ is percpu or not.

This patch is based on an older patch posted by Chris Smith here [1].
There is a minor change w.r.t. Chris's original patch: The accessor function
is renamed as 'irq_is_percpu' instead of 'irq_is_per_cpu'.

<title>genirq: Provide means to retrigger parent</title>

Attempts to retrigger nested threaded IRQs currently fail because they
have no primary handler. In order to support retrigger of nested
IRQs, the parent IRQ needs to be retriggered.

To fix, when an IRQ needs to be resent, if the interrupt has a parent
IRQ and runs in the context of the parent IRQ, then resend the parent.

Also, handle_nested_irq() needs to clear the replay flag like the
other handlers, otherwise check_irq_resend() will set it and it will
never be cleared.  Without clearing, it results in the first resend
working fine, but check_irq_resend() returning early on subsequent
resends because the replay flag is still set.

Problem discovered on ARM/OMAP platforms where a nested IRQ that's
also a wakeup IRQ happens late in suspend and needed to be retriggered
during the resume process.

Recent commit "irq: Track the  owner of irq descriptor" in
commit ID b6873807a7143b7 placed module.h into linux/irq.h
but we are trying to limit module.h inclusion to just C files
that really need it, due to its size and number of children
includes.  This targets just reversing that include.

Add in the basic "struct module" since that is all we really need
to ensure things compile.  In theory, b687380 should have added the
module.h include to the irqdesc.h header as well, but the implicit
module.h everywhere presence masked this from showing up.  So give
it the "struct module" as well.

As for the C files, irqdesc.c is only using THIS_MODULE, so it
does not need module.h - give it export.h instead.  The C file
irq/manage.c is now (as of b687380) using try_module_get and
module_put and so it needs module.h (which it already has).

Also convert the irq_alloc_descs variants to macros, since all
they really do is is call the __irq_alloc_descs primitive.
This avoids including export.h and no debug info is lost.

<title>genirq: Add support for per-cpu dev_id interrupts</title>
<updated>2011-10-03T13:35:26+00:00</updated>

<id>31d9d9b6d83030f748d013e61502fa5477e2ac0e</id>
<content type='text'>
The ARM GIC interrupt controller offers per CPU interrupts (PPIs),
which are usually used to connect local timers to each core. Each CPU
has its own private interface to the GIC, and only sees the PPIs that
are directly connect to it.

While these timers are separate devices and have a separate interrupt
line to a core, they all use the same IRQ number.

For these devices, request_irq() is not the right API as it assumes
that an IRQ number is visible by a number of CPUs (through the
affinity setting), but makes it very awkward to express that an IRQ
number can be handled by all CPUs, and yet be a different interrupt
line on each CPU, requiring a different dev_id cookie to be passed
back to the handler.

The *_percpu_irq() functions is designed to overcome these
limitations, by providing a per-cpu dev_id vector:

int request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
		   const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);
void free_percpu_irq(unsigned int, void __percpu *);
int setup_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *new);
void remove_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *act);
void enable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
void disable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);

The API has a number of limitations:
- no interrupt sharing
- no threading
- common handler across all the CPUs

Once the interrupt is requested using setup_percpu_irq() or
request_percpu_irq(), it must be enabled by each core that wishes its
local interrupt to be delivered.

Based on an initial patch by Thomas Gleixner.

number can be handled by all CPUs, and yet be a different interrupt
line on each CPU, requiring a different dev_id cookie to be passed
back to the handler.

The *_percpu_irq() functions is designed to overcome these
limitations, by providing a per-cpu dev_id vector:

int request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
		   const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);
void free_percpu_irq(unsigned int, void __percpu *);
int setup_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *new);
void remove_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *act);
void enable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
void disable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);

The API has a number of limitations:
- no interrupt sharing
- no threading
- common handler across all the CPUs

Once the interrupt is requested using setup_percpu_irq() or
request_percpu_irq(), it must be enabled by each core that wishes its
local interrupt to be delivered.

Based on an initial patch by Thomas Gleixner.

Interrupt descriptors can be allocated from modules. The interrupts
are used by other modules, but we have no refcount on the module which
provides the interrupts and there is no way to establish one on the
device level as the interrupt using module is agnostic to the fact
that the interrupt is provided by a module rather than by some builtin
interrupt controller.

To prevent removal of the interrupt providing module, we can track the
owner of the interrupt descriptor, which also provides the relevant
irq chip functions in the irq descriptor.

request/setup_irq() can now acquire a refcount on the owner module to
prevent unloading. free_irq() drops the refcount.
