[PATCH 2/2] arm: Support for platforms with split GIC cpu interface registers.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




At least one platform (APM Storm) places the two pages of the GIC cpu interface
(and the vcpu side) at non-contiguous locations. Document two additional
regions to cover this split and update the corresponding dtsi. Note that Linux
(including KVM) does not use any registers in the second page so there is no
associated code change here.  Xen will use these new regions, although I've not
written the corresponding code yet.

The ordering of these new regs is slightly counter intuitive but is inteded to
be backward compatible. It is also assumed that all such systems will implement
the GIC virtualisation extensions.

Add comments to all of the reg examples to help clarify what is going on.

+* Split GIC cpu interface
+
+  The cpu interfaces (bare-metal in region 2 and virtual in region 4)
+  may be spread over two pages, with the GICC_DIR (Deactivate
+  Interrupt Register) register falling at the start of the second
+  page. If these pages are contiguous then this is described via the
+  size of the second and fourth entries as described above
+  (e.g. 0x2000 rather than 0x1000).
+
+  However if the two pages are not contiguous then two additional
+  regions are present (5th and 6th) describing the location of the the
+  second half of the GIC cpu interface and GIC virtual cpu interface
+  respectively.
+
+  It is assumed that all such systems will implement the GIC
+  virtualisation extensions.
+
+Example:
+
+	gic: interrupt-controller@78010000 {
+		compatible = "arm,cortex-a15-gic";
+		#interrupt-cells = <3>;
+		interrupt-controller;
+		reg = <0x78010000 0x1000>,      /* GIC Dist */
