Subject[PATCH v3 0/3] genirq: handling GIC per-cpu interrupts
Date
The current GIC per-cpu interrupts (aka PPIs) suffer from a number of
problems:

- They use a completely separate scheme to handle the interrupts,
mostly because the PPI concept doesn't really match the kernel view
of an interrupt.
- PPIs can only be used by the timer code, unless we add more low-level
assembly code.
- The local timer code can only be used by devices generating PPIs,
and not SPIs.
- At least one platform (msm) has started implementing its own
alternative scheme.
- Some low-level code gets duplicated, as usual...

The proposed solution is to handle the PPIs using the same path as
SPIs. A new core API is added to deal with per-cpu interrupts in a
less awkward way. The local timer code is updated to reflect these
changes.

The core API changes are based on an initial idea by Thomas Gleixner.

Tested on ARM Versatile Express (Cortex A15), ARM RealView PB11MP,
OMAP4 (Panda) and Tegra (Harmony). Patch series against next-20110923.

From v2:
- Fixed !GENERIC_HARDIRQS build
- Fixed request_percpu_irq documentation

From v1:
- General tidy-up after Thomas' review. I've kept the config option
for the time being until we can sort out the anonymous union
problem.

Marc Zyngier (3):
genirq: add support for per-cpu dev_id interrupts
ARM: gic: consolidate PPI handling
ARM: gic, local timers: use the request_percpu_irq() interface
