[PATCH 0/3] clocksource: at91: Remove irq handler when clock event is unused

[PATCH 0/3] clocksource: at91: Remove irq handler when clock event is unused

[Alexandre Belloni]

The IRQ handlers for the clockevent on at91 (pit or system timer) are shared.
The following patch in linux-rt was removing those when they are unused:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/commit/?id=227cd21851456fb08e87f5a35e0e51280a9fd439

Unfortunately, they bitrotted over time and actually break the at91rm9200 (the
irq gets removed but never requested again) and gives warning on all the other
at91 platforms.

The following patches replace the mentionned patch and are based on
clockevents/4.3 to be applied after the switch to the 'set-state' interface.

Alexandre Belloni (3):
  clocksource: atmel-st: Remove irq handler when clock event is unused
  clocksource: atmel-pit: drop at91sam926x_pit_common_init
  clocksource: atmel-pit: Remove irq handler when clock event is unused

You cannot call request_irq() from interrupt disabled context. It
works during early boot because might_sleep() is not active then, but
if that happens during normal runtime it wont work.

That's wrong. We run all handlers with interrupts disabled for about 5

I don't think you need this loop. You have a proper clocksource
registered so the timekeeping code will handle the lost ticks nicely.

Indeed, clockevents_switch_state() has to be called with interrupts
disabled. So I'm not sure anymore how we should go about this change
(obviously, the same applies to the pit change). Do you have an idea?

It's the kmalloc of the proc interface. So back to the drawing

So the only idea I could come up with is the old approach of creating
a dummy irq chip for the interrupts which share that timer/uart/rtc
whatever line.

I think Boris Brezillon had implemented it at some point, but it was
shot down for reasons I can't remember. That would allow us to simply
have disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq in the relevant code pathes and be
done with it. I guess I need to find the references and give it a try
again if nobody beats me to it.

Thanks,

You weren't around at the time.. DT people didn't like it, said they
didn't like having to make up fake hardware in their DT crap.

I don't know who was right, but the fact is they won't be inclined to
take such an approach unless the virtual demuxer is not exposed in the
DT, which is almost impossible since irq users are identifying their
irq lines with a phandle to the interrupt controller and an interrupt
id (usually extracted from the datasheet).

Anyway, below is a solution providing a way to disable specific
handlers without reworking the way we are modeling shared interrupts.
Thomas, I know you were not in favor of the proposed approach, but,
AFAICT, it does not add any conditional path to the interrupt handling
path (which, IIRC, was one of your requirements), and is simple enough
to be used by people really needing it.

There's probably other drawback I haven't noticed, so please don't
hesitate to share your thoughts.

Thanks,

Boris

Subject: [PATCH] irq: add disable_irq_handler()/enable_irq_handler() functions

Sometime we need to disable a specific handler on a shared irq line.
Currently, the only way this can be achieved is by freeing the irq handler
when we want to disable the irq and creating a new one when we want to
enable it.
This is not only adding some overhead to the disable/enable operations, but
the request_irq function cannot be called in atomic context, which means
it prevents disabling the interrupt in such situation.

This patch introduces three new functions: disable_irq_handler(),
disable_irq_handler_nosync() and enable_irq_handler() to allow disabling
a specific handler on a shared irq line.

I really have no idea why DT folks think that virtual devices are not
suitable for DT entries. Marks working assumption from the old thread:

is simply wrong. This has nothing to do with a Linux implementation
problem. It's a sensible workaround for braindamaged hardware at the
proper abstraction level.

Yes, aside of the bloat, it needs special handling in free_irq() as
well.

is simply wrong. This has nothing to do with a Linux implementation
problem. It's a sensible workaround for braindamaged hardware at the
proper abstraction level.

Yes, aside of the bloat, it needs special handling in free_irq() as
well.

Right. Below is a patch fixing the __setup_irq()/__free_irq() functions.

Anyway, I won't insist on this approach unless you want me to go
further, and I don't plan to spend more time on convincing DT folks that
the virtual demux is what we need (I already spent more time than I
wanted arguing on this feature :-/).

Best Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] irq: add disable_irq_handler()/enable_irq_handler() functions

Sometime we need to disable a specific handler on a shared irq line.
Currently, the only way this can be achieved is by freeing the irq handler
when we want to disable the irq and creating a new one when we want to
enable.
This is not only adding some overhead to the disable/enable operations, but
the request_irq function cannot be called in atomic context, which means
it prevents disabling the interrupt in such situation.

This patch introduces three new functions: disable_irq_handler(),
disable_irq_handler_nosync() and enable_irq_handler() to allow disabling
a specific handler on a shared irq line.
