From: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

The Legacy Interrupt Controller found on NVIDIA Tegra SoCs is used by
the AVP coprocessor and can also serve as a backup for the ARM Cortex
CPU's local interrupt controller (GIC).

The LIC is subdivided into multiple identical units, each handling 32
possible interrupt sources.

How about moving the entire file to drivers/irqchip and using the
IRQCHIP_DECLARE() helper for the DT case?

For the fallback, you can have an entry into that file that just takes
the address and number, which you can call from platform code here.

Don't you need an interrupt-parent and interrupts property here to point to
the GIC interrupts? I would assume this is a nested irqchip.

The driver isn't useful as a module, so I don't think that's necessary.
I'm not even sure it could be loaded that late in the process. Without
it peripheral interrupts don't work properly, so loading this from the
filesystem doesn't work (unless it's in an initrd), but perhaps even
that won't work. I'm not aware of anyone actually ever trying to build
it as a module.

I think I did try that at some point, but there were issues that I don't
remember. I'll give it another shot.

So I got pretty far with this and the system still boots. But for some
reason suspend/resume is now broken. The difference seems to be that
earlier the legacy interrupt controller would be registered first, and
the GIC second. When the legacy interrupt controller is initialized
after the GIC (which happens when I use IRQCHIP_DECLARE), then suspend
and resume won't work (for some yet unknown reason). Unfortunately the
of_irq_init() code is too clever, so I can't even work around it by
changing link order or device tree order.

I'll see if I can find out what causes this combination to malfunction
when initialized in the opposite order.

The reason for why ordering matters is this line from the GIC driver
(see drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c):

	static int gic_init_bases(...)
	{
		...
		gic_chip.flags |= gic_arch_extn.flags;
		...
	}

So there's an implicit dependency on having the architecture-specific
extension initialized before the GIC.

If I manually add in the flags set by the LIC (IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND)
the suspend/resume issue that I observed goes away.

Perhaps a better way to handle this would be to add an API that GIC IRQ
extensions can use to register with the GIC independent of the
initialization order?

In this particular case something like:

	void gic_arch_register(unsigned long flags)
	{
		gic_chip.flags |= flags;
	}

would work irrespective of the ordering. But perhaps something more
elaborate would be more futureproof:

	void gic_arch_register(const struct irqchip *extn)
	{
		gic_chip.flags |= extn->flags;
		gic_arch_extn = *extn;
	}

Or perhaps gic_arch_extn could be turned into a pointer so that checks
for already registered extension drivers can be more easily done. That
is:

	static struct irq_chip *extn;

	void gic_arch_register(const struct irqchip *chip)
	{
		if (WARN(extn != NULL))
			return;

		gic_chip.flags |= chip->flags;
		extn = chip;
	}

Any preferences, or other ideas? Adding Thomas and Jason, perhaps they
can provide more input on how to solve this.

I think the entire gic_arch_extn method is done in a rather odd way
and we should try to come up with a replacement.

These are the users at the moment:

arch/arm/mach-exynos/pm.c:      gic_arch_extn.irq_set_wake = exynos_irq_set_wake;
arch/arm/mach-imx/gpc.c:        gic_arch_extn.irq_mask = imx_gpc_irq_mask;
arch/arm/mach-imx/gpc.c:        gic_arch_extn.irq_unmask = imx_gpc_irq_unmask;
arch/arm/mach-imx/gpc.c:        gic_arch_extn.irq_set_wake = imx_gpc_irq_set_wake;
arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-wakeupgen.c:   gic_arch_extn.irq_mask = wakeupgen_mask;
arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-wakeupgen.c:   gic_arch_extn.irq_unmask = wakeupgen_unmask;
arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-wakeupgen.c:   gic_arch_extn.flags = IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND | IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_W
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/intc-sh73a0.c:   gic_arch_extn.irq_set_wake = sh73a0_set_wake;
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-r8a7779.c: gic_arch_extn.irq_set_wake = r8a7779_set_wake;
arch/arm/mach-tegra/irq.c:      gic_arch_extn.irq_ack = tegra_ack;
arch/arm/mach-tegra/irq.c:      gic_arch_extn.irq_eoi = tegra_eoi;
arch/arm/mach-tegra/irq.c:      gic_arch_extn.irq_mask = tegra_mask;
arch/arm/mach-tegra/irq.c:      gic_arch_extn.irq_unmask = tegra_unmask;
arch/arm/mach-tegra/irq.c:      gic_arch_extn.irq_retrigger = tegra_retrigger;
arch/arm/mach-tegra/irq.c:      gic_arch_extn.irq_set_wake = tegra_set_wake;
arch/arm/mach-tegra/irq.c:      gic_arch_extn.flags = IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND;
arch/arm/mach-ux500/cpu.c:      gic_arch_extn.flags = IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE | IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND;
arch/arm/mach-zynq/common.c:    gic_arch_extn.flags = IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE | IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND;

I have to admit I don't really understand how these work, but what
I'd expect to work better is a way to turn the gic code into more
of a library that can be used by specialized drivers. In that
case you would register a driver for the tegra gic using IRQCHIP_DECLARE
and that driver would call a variation of gic_of_init() or gic_init_bases()
with the extra stuff as arguments.

We'd have to hack around the fact that all these platforms currently
don't list a specialized compatible string, but at least for the future
we should be able to do this without special hacks.

Thomas was talking about this just the other day:

No. It's not nested. All SoC interrupts are fed into both the LIC and the
GIC (as SPIs). The LIC also has an interface towards the flowcontroller which
allows waking up the CPU when an interrupt happens, even if the GIC is off. 
LIC can also route every interrupt it controls to the AVP.

See also section 3.4.1.4 Interrupt routing of the TRM.

Cheers,

Peter.

Ah, cool. That seems better than what I had in mind. Yes, let's do that.

Besides the issue with the missing compatible values, the hardware
blocks that provide the additional functionality are separate from the
GIC. So they would have to look up the GIC node explicitly.

I suppose that might actually be to our advantage, since these blocks
will presumably have a specialized compatible string. So perhaps one
solution would be to make the drivers for these separate IP blocks look
up the GIC device tree node and call gic_of_init_ext() with a pointer to
the IRQ chip implementation of this platform-specific glue to replace
gic_arch_extn.

+NVIDIA Tegra Legacy Interrupt Controller
+
+The legacy interrupt controller is divided into units that serve 32 interrupts
+each. Tegra20 implements four units, whereas Tegra30 and later implement five.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "nvidia,tegra<chip>-ictlr"
+- reg: Physical base address and length of the controller's registers. There
+  should be one entry for each unit.
+
+Example:
+
+	interrupt-controller@60004000 {
+		compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-ictlr";
+		reg = <0x60004000 0x40>, /* primary controller */
+		      <0x60004100 0x40>, /* secondary controller */
+		      <0x60004200 0x40>, /* tertiary controller */
+		      <0x60004300 0x40>; /* quaternary controller */
+	};
