v2 cover GIC Changes

From: Abhijeet Dharmapurikar <[email protected]>

Few fixes and improvements to arch/arm/common/gic.c file.

Changes in v2

Russell indicated that there could be an on chip inteverter on some interrupt lines and hence there is no way to enforce correct edge rising/falling or level high/low configuration. The change to introduce set_type callback is dropped.

Also the change to configure SPI's and PPI's as level/edge depending on the flow_type argument passed in gic_dist_init is dropped.

As per Catalin's suggestion all the interrupts reported by gic are disabled. This way we initialize and disable all the unused interrupts. The iterator,i in the gic_dist_init is still prevented from exceeding NR_IRQS.

As per Ben Dook's suggestion 'gic:...' is changed to 'GIC:...' in title.

Thanks for all your inputs. Please let me know if further changes are required.

Abhijeet Dharmapurikar (4):
GIC: Disable unused interrupts
GIC: Prevent gic from crossing NR_IRQS
GIC: Add callback for mask_ack
GIC: Dont disable INT in ack callback

PATCH v2 1/4 GIC: Disable unused interrupts

From: Abhijeet Dharmapurikar <[email protected]>

Disable all interrupts of a gic in distributor initialization function. This way interrupts beyond NR_IRQS stay disabled.

Prevent gic code from initializing interrupts beyon NR_IRQS.

PATCH v2 3/4 GIC: Add callback for mask_ack

In reply to [email protected]

From: Abhijeet Dharmapurikar <[email protected]>

Add gic_mask_ack for faster processing of interrupts.

PATCH v2 4/4 GIC: Dont disable INT in ack callback

In reply to [email protected]

From: Abhijeet Dharmapurikar <[email protected]>

Unless gic_ack_irq is called from __do_IRQ, interrupt should not be disabled in the ack function. Disabling the interrupt causes handle_edge_irq to never enable it again.
