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.

Some irq chips need the irq_set_wake() functionality, but do not
require a irq_set_wake() callback. Instead of forcing an empty
callback to be implemented add a flag which notes this fact. Check for
the flag in set_irq_wake_real() and return success when set.

This reverts commit f3637a5f2e.
It turns out that this breaks several drivers, one example being OMAP
boards which use the on-board OMAP UARTs and the omap-serial driver that
will not boot to userspace after the commit.
Paul Walmsley reports that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ reveals 'IRQ
handler type mismatch' errors:
IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 74
current handler: serial idle
...
and the reason is that setting IRQF_ONESHOT will now result in those
interrupt handlers having different IRQF flags, and thus being
unsharable. So the commit log in the reverted commit:
"Since it is required for those users and
there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag
unconditionally."
is simply not true: there may not be any difference from a "actions at
irq time", but there is a *big* difference wrt this flag testing irq
management (see __setup_irq() in kernel/irq/manage.c).
One solution may be to stop verifying IRQF_ONESHOT in __setup_irq(), but
right now the safe course of action is to revert the change. Let's
revisit this in a later merge window.

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.

If no primary handler is specified then a default one is assigned
which always returns IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. This handler requires the
IRQF_ONESHOT flag on LEVEL / EIO typed irqs because the source of
interrupt is not disabled. Since it is required for those users and
there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag
unconditionally.

In kernel/irq/manage.c::irq_set_irq_wake() we call
irq_get_desc_buslock() which may return NULL, but the code
dereferences the result unconditionally.
irq_set_irq_wake() has lots of callers - I checked a few and I couldn't
find anything that guarantees that they won't call it with some input that
will cause irq_get_desc_buslock() to return NULL, so I think it's a good
thing to test and -EINVAL was the most sane error code in this situation
that I could think of.
Not all callers test the return value of irq_set_irq_wake(), but those
that do take != 0 to mean error as far as I can see, so they should be
fine. I guess those that don't test actually should, but that's a
different issue.

The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level
handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does
not feel responsible.
This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards
it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets
called again from the threaded handler.

This adds support for disabling threading on a per-IRQ basis via the IRQ
status instead of the IRQ flow, which is necessary for interrupts that
don't follow the natural IRQ flow channels, such as those that are
virtually created.
The new APIs added are simply:
irq_set_thread()
irq_set_nothread()
which follow the rest of the IRQ status routines.
Chained handlers also have IRQ_NOTHREAD set on them automatically, making
the lack of threading explicit rather than implicit. Subsequently, the
nothread flag can be viewed through the standard genirq debugging
facilities.

Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.
Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.
Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.
When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

For level type interrupts we need to track how many threads are on
flight to avoid useless interrupt storms when not all thread handlers
have finished yet. Keep track of the woken threads and only unmask
when there are no more threads in flight.
Yes, I'm lazy and using a bitfield. But not only because I'm lazy, the
main reason is that it's way simpler than using a refcount. A refcount
based solution would need to keep track of various things like
crashing the irq thread, spurious interrupts coming in,
disables/enables, free_irq() and some more. The bitfield keeps the
tracking simple and makes things just work. It's also nicely confined
to the thread code pathes and does not require additional checks all
over the place.

While rumaging through arch code I found that there are a few
workarounds which deal with the fact that the initial affinity setting
from request_irq() copies the mask into irq_data->affinity before the
chip code is called. In the normal path we unconditionally copy the
mask when the chip code returns 0.
Copy after the code is called and add a return code
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY for the chip functions, which prevents the
copy. That way we see the real mask when the chip function decided to
truncate it further as some arches do. IRQ_SET_MASK_OK is 0, which is
the current behaviour.
