Re: [PATCH] irqchip/gic-v3: Fix priority comparison when non-secure priorities are used

[Alexandru Elisei <alexandru.elisei@arm.com>]

Hello,

Pending Marc's testing (I realized I don't have any hardware to test this on at
the moment), this patch looks correct to me. One comment below.

Would you mind adding a comment to the macro explaining why it's needed? This
behaviour is rather subtle and I'm hoping it will save someone's time at some
point in the future. I'm thinking something like this (please ignore it if you can
think of something better):

When the Non-secure world has access to group 0 interrupts (SCR_EL3.FIQ = 0),
reading the ICC_RPR_EL1 register will return the Distributor's view of the
interrupt priority. When GIC security is enabled (GICD_CTLR.DS = 0), the interrupt
priority written by software is moved to the Non-secure range by the Distributor.
If both are true (which is the situation where gic_nonsecure_priorities gets
enabled), then we need to shift down the priority programmed by software if we
want match it against the value returned from ICC_RPR_EL1.
