The remoteproc framework keeps interrupts disabled until it powers on a
remote proc to prevent spurious interrupts. There is a case where the
remote proc can finish booting before remoteproc enables the interrupt.
If this happens, the remoteproc framework will miss the notification
and eventually timeout waiting for the remoteproc to finish "booting".

Add support into smp2p to retrigger an interrupt if it was missed while
the interrupt was disabled. The interrupt should retrigger once the
interrupt is enabled. This will make the bootup sequence for remoteproc
less racy.

If a smp2p change occurs while a virtual interrupt is disabled, smp2p
should be able to resend that interrupt on enablement.

This functionality requires the CONFIG_HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND to be enabled
to reschedule the interrupts. To ensure the mask and unmask functions
are called during enabled and disable, set the flag to disable lazy
IRQ state handling (IRQ_DISABLE_UNLAZY).

Currently, smp2p relies on the hwirq resend feature to retrigger irqs
that were missed because the irq was disabled at the time of receiving
it. The hwirq resend feature will retrigger the parent smp2p interrupt.
In order to keep track of what children needed to be retriggered, the
pending bitmap was added.

After calling handle_nested_irq, smp2p checks if the interrupt is
enabled and sets the pending bit if the interrupt is not enabled. There
is a small window where a client can enable the interrupt between
calling handle_nested_irq and checking if the interrupt is enabled.
If this happens, the interrupt is never called when the parent smp2p
interrupt is retriggered.

Add the irq_retrigger callback so smp2p can know which child interrupts
need to be retriggered. Set the pending bits accordingly.

There is a very tight race where the irq_retrigger function is run
on one cpu and the actual retrigger softirq is running on a second
cpu. When this happens, there may be a chance that the second cpu
will not see the updated irq_pending value from first cpu.

Add a memory barrier to ensure that irq_pending is read correctly.

I don't quite understand why you need a barrier here. mb() makes sure all the
prior instructions gets executed before executing the later one. But why is it
needed here?

Here it makes sense because you want the CPU to set irq_pending before exiting
from this function. But even then you can use the less strict smp_wmb() that
serves the exact purpose.

Hi,

I'm jumping in half-blind here since I've never looked at this driver
before, so if I say something that sounds wrong then it probably is.
;-P At the very least I'm super thankful for the "summary" kernel doc
at the start of this file (thanks Bjorn!)...

That sounds right. I made some attempt to document how I thought this
worked in commit cf9d052aa600 ("pinctrl: qcom: Don't clear pending
interrupts when enabling").

Maybe mention that you don't need to select this yourself because it's
already selected by the arm64 config?

From your description of the problem it actually feels like you want
the opposite? When an interrupt is masked lazily then the interrupt
can still fire but won't make it to the client. Then as soon as the
client unmasks the interrupt will fire right away. That's exactly what
you want, isn't it?

Are you certain you need IRQ_DISABLE_UNLAZY?

You'll get a kernel-doc warning since the rest of the elements in this

Your new logic seems a bit off to me.

For one thing, once an IRQ becomes pending it should stay pending.
With your code I believe that if an IRQ was marked as "rising" and
then it went high and low again while masked that you would lose track
of the interrupt. Normally an edge-triggered interrupt will latch the
edge and keep track of it.

I think the logic should be something like this (untested):

status = val ^ entry->last_value;
entry->last_value = val;

/* IRQs become pending regardless of whether they're masked or not */
for_each_set_bit(i, &status, 32) {
        if ((val & BIT(i) && test_bit(i, entry->irq_rising)) ||
            (!(val & BIT(i)) && test_bit(i, entry->irq_falling)))
                set_bit(i, entry->irq_pending);
}

/* Handled unmasked (AKA enabled) pending IRQs */
for_each_set_bit(i, entry->irq_pending), 32) {
        if (!test_bit(i, entry->irq_enabled))
                continue;

For the most part memory barriers break my brain and there should be a
very high bar for using them instead of normal locking mechanisms.
It's got to be an area that's super performance critical. I don't
think this is.

...but also if you really can have two thread mucking with
irq_pending, it seems like you have a bigger problem. Both threads are
doing read-modify-write of irq_pending (clear_bit and set_bit aren't
atomic) and a memory barrier won't help you there.

Just use a normal locking mechanism.
