Merge branch 'thread-irq-simpler' into devel

the header <linux/irq.h>. So basically such a driver is utilizing two sub-

systems simultaneously: gpio and irq.

RT_FULL: GPIO driver should not use spinlock_t or any sleepable APIs

(like PM runtime) as part of its irq_chip implementation on -RT.

RT_FULL: a realtime compliant GPIO driver should not use spinlock_t or any

sleepable APIs (like PM runtime) as part of its irq_chip implementation.

- spinlock_t should be replaced with raw_spinlock_t [1].

- If sleepable APIs have to be used, these can be done from the .irq_bus_lock()

  and .irq_bus_unlock() callbacks, as these are the only slowpath callbacks

GPIO irqchips usually fall in one of two categories:

* CHAINED GPIO irqchips: these are usually the type that is embedded on

  an SoC. This means that there is a fast IRQ handler for the GPIOs that

  an SoC. This means that there is a fast IRQ flow handler for the GPIOs that

  gets called in a chain from the parent IRQ handler, most typically the

  system interrupt controller. This means the GPIO irqchip is registered

  using irq_set_chained_handler() or the corresponding

  gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip() helper function, and the GPIO irqchip

  handler will be called immediately from the parent irqchip, while

  holding the IRQs disabled. The GPIO irqchip will then end up calling

  something like this sequence in its interrupt handler:

  static irqreturn_t tc3589x_gpio_irq(int irq, void *data)

  system interrupt controller. This means that the GPIO irqchip handler will

  be called immediately from the parent irqchip, while holding the IRQs

  disabled. The GPIO irqchip will then end up calling something like this

  sequence in its interrupt handler:

  static irqreturn_t foo_gpio_irq(int irq, void *data)

      chained_irq_enter(...);

      generic_handle_irq(...);

      chained_irq_exit(...);

  Chained GPIO irqchips typically can NOT set the .can_sleep flag on

  struct gpio_chip, as everything happens directly in the callbacks.

  struct gpio_chip, as everything happens directly in the callbacks: no

  slow bus traffic like I2C can be used.

  RT_FULL: Note, chained IRQ handlers will not be forced threaded on -RT.

  As result, spinlock_t or any sleepable APIs (like PM runtime) can't be used

  in chained IRQ handler.

  if required (and if it can't be converted to the nested threaded GPIO irqchip)

  - chained IRQ handler can be converted to generic irq handler and this way

  it will be threaded IRQ handler on -RT and hard IRQ handler on non-RT

  If required (and if it can't be converted to the nested threaded GPIO irqchip)

  a chained IRQ handler can be converted to generic irq handler and this way

  it will be a threaded IRQ handler on -RT and a hard IRQ handler on non-RT

  (for example, see [3]).

  Know W/A: The generic_handle_irq() is expected to be called with IRQ disabled,

  so IRQ core will complain if it will be called from IRQ handler which is

  forced thread. The "fake?" raw lock can be used to W/A this problem:

  so the IRQ core will complain if it is called from an IRQ handler which is

  forced to a thread. The "fake?" raw lock can be used to W/A this problem:

	raw_spinlock_t wa_lock;

	static irqreturn_t omap_gpio_irq_handler(int irq, void *gpiobank)

  by the driver. The hallmark of this driver is to call something like

  this in its interrupt handler:

  static irqreturn_t tc3589x_gpio_irq(int irq, void *data)

  static irqreturn_t foo_gpio_irq(int irq, void *data)

      ...

      handle_nested_irq(irq);

some helpers that can be enabled by selecting the GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP Kconfig

symbol:

* gpiochip_irqchip_add(): adds an irqchip to a gpiochip. It will pass

* gpiochip_irqchip_add(): adds a chained irqchip to a gpiochip. It will pass

  the struct gpio_chip* for the chip to all IRQ callbacks, so the callbacks

  need to embed the gpio_chip in its state container and obtain a pointer

  to the container using container_of().

  (See Documentation/driver-model/design-patterns.txt)

  If there is a need to exclude certain GPIOs from the IRQ domain, one can

  set .irq_need_valid_mask of the gpiochip before gpiochip_add_data() is

  called. This allocates .irq_valid_mask with as many bits set as there are

  GPIOs in the chip. Drivers can exclude GPIOs by clearing bits from this

  mask. The mask must be filled in before gpiochip_irqchip_add() is called.

* gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested(): adds a nested irqchip to a gpiochip.

  Apart from that it works exactly like the chained irqchip.

* gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip(): sets up a chained irq handler for a

  gpio_chip from a parent IRQ and passes the struct gpio_chip* as handler

  data. (Notice handler data, since the irqchip data is likely used by the

  parent irqchip!) This is for the chained type of chip. This is also used

  to set up a nested irqchip if NULL is passed as handler.

  parent irqchip!).

* gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip(): sets up a nested irq handler for a

  gpio_chip from a parent IRQ. As the parent IRQ has usually been

  explicitly requested by the driver, this does very little more than

  mark all the child IRQs as having the other IRQ as parent.

If there is a need to exclude certain GPIOs from the IRQ domain, you can

set .irq_need_valid_mask of the gpiochip before gpiochip_add_data() is

called. This allocates an .irq_valid_mask with as many bits set as there

are GPIOs in the chip. Drivers can exclude GPIOs by clearing bits from this

mask. The mask must be filled in before gpiochip_irqchip_add() or

gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() is called.

To use the helpers please keep the following in mind:

typically be called in the .startup() and .shutdown() callbacks from the

irqchip.

When using the gpiolib irqchip helpers, these callback are automatically

assigned.
