Subject: [PATCH v8 0/9] Handle forwarded level-triggered interrupts
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 11:45:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171213104602.16383-1-christoffer.dall@linaro.org> (raw)

This series is an alternative approach to Eric Auger's direct EOI setup
patches [1] in terms of the KVM VGIC support.

The idea is to maintain existing semantics for the VGIC for mapped
level-triggered IRQs and also support the timer using mapped IRQs with
the same VGIC support as VFIO interrupts.

Based on v4.15-rc1.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cdall/linux.git level-mapped-v8

Changes since v7:
 - Cleanup stale commentary
 - Updated documentation (patch 9/9 is new in this version)
 - Added Eric's reviewed-by tags

Changes since v6:
 - Removed double semi-colon
 - Changed another confusing conditional in patch 6
 - Fixed typos in commit message and comments

Changes since v5:
 - Rebased on v4.15-rc1
 - Changed comment on preemption code as suggested by Andre
 - Fixed white space and confusing conditionals as suggested by Drew

Changes since v4:
 - Rebased on the timer optimization series merged in the v4.15 merge
   window, which caused a fair amount of modifications to patch 3.
 - Added a static key to disable the sync operations when no VMs are
   using userspace irqchips to further optimize the performance
 - Fixed extra semicolon in vgic-mmio.c
 - Added commentary as requested during review
 - Dropped what was patch 4, because it was merged as part of GICv4
   support.
 - Factored out the VGIC input level function change as separate patch
   (helps bisect and debugging), before providing a function for the
   timer.

Changes since v3:
 - Added a number of patches and moved patches around a bit.
 - Check for uaccesses in the mmio handler functions
 - Fixed bugs in the mmio handler functions

Changes since v2:
 - Removed patch 5 from v2 and integrating the changes in what's now
   patch 5 to make it easier to reuse code when adding VFIO integration.
 - Changed the virtual distributor MMIO handling to use the
   pending_latch and more closely match the semantics of SPENDR and
   CPENDR for both level and edge mapped interrupts.

Changes since v1:
 - Added necessary changes to the timer (Patch 1)
 - Added handling of guest MMIO accesses to the virtual distributor
   (Patch 4)
 - Addressed Marc's comments from the initial RFC (mostly renames)

Thanks,
-Christoffer
