This series fixes sparse eSPI INTID handling and checks errors returned by
irq_set_type().
Patch 1 checks irq_set_type() failures in the GTDT, MADT, SPCR, and FF-A
paths. GTDT and MADT could retain rejected timer or maintenance INTIDs
and later use them in direct descriptor lookups. This patch also fixes
MISRA C Rule 17.7 violations. It is now first in the series, as requested
during review, so callers handle errors before stricter IRQ validation
is introduced.
Patch 2 makes is_espi() check the architectural INTID range regardless of
CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI. If the GIC reports an eSPI without compiled-in support,
Xen stops with BUG_ON(), as there is no descriptor or pending_irq storage
for it. Virtual eSPI pending lookups without support are treated as
unreachable: the stub asserts in debug builds and retains a NULL return.
Xen has IRQ descriptors for INTIDs below NR_IRQS and, with eSPI support,
for eSPIs starting at 4096. It has no descriptors for INTIDs 1024 through
4095. Patch 3 checks INTIDs in setup_irq() and irq_set_spi_type() before
descriptor lookup. irq_set_spi_type() checks descriptor-backed ranges
because it can run before the GIC line counts are known. setup_irq()
checks implemented lines using those counts.
Patch 4 fixes the vGIC allocation bitmap. Reserving an eSPI used a compact
bitmap index, but freeing it used the raw virtual INTID. This could write
past the bitmap and leave the eSPI reserved. Both vGIC implementations now
use vgic_is_valid_line() when reserving and freeing vIRQs.
Testing of the v5 review changes, before the latest rebase and reordering:
- Arm64 build with CONFIG_NEW_VGIC=y, CONFIG_GICV2=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG=y.
- QEMU GICv2 guest tests: 10 checks passed, covering SPI delivery,
enable/disable behavior, affinity changes, SGIs, and the virtual timer.
Testing from earlier revisions, before the final v5 edits:
- QEMU and FVP tests with CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI, CONFIG_HAS_ITS, and
CONFIG_DEBUG enabled and disabled.
- Physical and virtual eSPI delivery on FVP, including delivery to both
vCPUs and retriggering an active eSPI.
- Injected an unsupported physical eSPI and confirmed BUG_ON() in both
debug and release builds.
- Arm64 builds with CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI and CONFIG_DEBUG enabled and disabled.
- Arm64 debug builds with CONFIG_ACPI=y and CONFIG_FFA=y, both with and
without CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI.
- FVP Device Tree boot with 64 eSPIs; Linux dom0 started.
- QEMU virt UEFI/ACPI boot to a dom0 initramfs shell, covering the GTDT,
GICv3 MADT, and PL011 SPCR paths.
Changes in v5:
- Move the irq_set_type() error-handling patch to the beginning.
- Explain why an eSPI cannot be handled without compiled-in support.
- Make both espi_to_pending() helpers static inline and constify d.
- Add ASSERT_UNREACHABLE() to the disabled-eSPI stub.
- Preserve the unmapped LPI comment and clarify that eSPI lookup without
support must not occur.
- Add the vgic_is_valid_line() guard to vgic_free_virq() in the new vGIC
implementation and use the same helper in vgic_reserve_virq().
Changes in v4:
- Use BUG_ON() when the GIC reports an eSPI without compiled-in support.
- Return NULL for virtual eSPI pending lookups when support is disabled.
- Remove the redundant CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI check in IRQ dispatch.
- Share irq_has_desc() with the assertion in __irq_to_desc().
- Log invalid IRQs rejected by setup_irq().
- Document the compressed vIRQ allocation bitmap above the conversion
helpers, with an ASCII diagram and a reference to struct vgic_dist.
- Clarify the is_espi() commit message and drop unrelated blank-line
removals.
- Add Reviewed-by tags.
Changes in v3:
- Add a preparatory patch making is_espi() a pure range predicate and move
configuration policy and debug checks to callers.
- Add the requested assertion before regular descriptor lookup.
- Avoid partial MADT and UART state updates after irq_set_type() failures.
- Apply cosmetic cleanups from review.
Changes in v2:
- Check descriptor ranges in irq_set_spi_type() and implemented GIC lines
in setup_irq().
- Keep the is_espi() debug check when CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI is disabled.
- Remove a redundant CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI guard from the vGIC code.
- Add a patch checking irq_set_type() errors in the GTDT, MADT, SPCR, and
FF-A paths.
- Target master instead of the 4.22 release.

Several Arm firmware initialization paths discard irq_set_type()'s return
value, violating MISRA C Rule 17.7. If trigger configuration fails,
initialization continues with an IRQ that was not configured as requested.
GTDT and MADT retain rejected timer and maintenance INTIDs.
check_timer_irq_cfg() and release_irq() later perform unconditional
descriptor lookups on those values. Xen has no backing descriptors for
INTIDs 1024 through 4095, so retaining one can cause an out-of-bounds
access.
Check the return value in the GTDT, MADT, SPCR, and FF-A paths. Store timer
INTIDs only after successful trigger configuration, make GTDT parsing
failure fatal, and stop UART or notification setup when trigger
configuration fails.

is_espi() currently changes its result according to CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI.
Without eSPI support, it returns false, and its assertion fails if
an eSPI INTID is passed. Callers therefore use it both to identify
eSPIs and to exclude eSPI handling when support is disabled.
Make is_espi() report only whether an INTID is in the architectural
eSPI range. Check for eSPI support at the call sites.
Use BUG_ON() if the GIC reports an eSPI without compiled-in support,
matching the handling of unsupported LPIs. Treat virtual eSPI lookup
without support as unreachable, with a NULL return from the
espi_to_pending() stub.

GICv3 eSPI support makes nr_irqs span the architectural INTID namespace
through ESPI_MAX_INTID, but descriptor storage is sparse. local_irq_desc[]
and irq_desc[] cover INTIDs below NR_IRQS, while espi_desc[] covers eSPIs.
INTIDs 1024 through 4095 have no backing descriptors.
Validation based only on nr_irqs accepts an INTID in this gap.
__irq_to_desc() then indexes beyond irq_desc[], and callers may lock or
update unrelated Xen memory.
Reject INTIDs that the GIC reports as unimplemented in setup_irq() before
looking up a descriptor. irq_set_spi_type() can run before the implemented
GIC line counts are available, so validate descriptor-backed ranges there
before looking up a descriptor.
Use the same descriptor range check in irq_set_spi_type() and the
assertion in __irq_to_desc() to keep them in sync. Log the IRQ number
when setup_irq() rejects an invalid line.

Changes in v4:
- Share irq_has_desc() with the assertion in __irq_to_desc().
- Log invalid IRQs rejected by setup_irq().
- Drop the unrelated blank line removal.
Changes in v3:
- Add the requested bound assertion and retain the SPI-only comment.
Changes in v2:
- Validate descriptor-backed ranges in irq_set_spi_type().
- Validate implemented GIC lines in setup_irq().
- Preserve is_espi() validation with CONFIG_GICV3_ESPI disabled.

* [PATCH v5 4/4] xen/arm: vgic: free eSPIs using the bitmap index

The allocated_irqs bitmap in the existing vGIC implementation stores eSPI
allocation bits immediately after the regular vIRQ bits.
vgic_reserve_virq() converts an eSPI INTID to this compressed bitmap index,
but vgic_free_virq() used the raw INTID.
Freeing INTID 4096 therefore clears bit 4096 instead of the first eSPI bit.
This writes beyond allocated_irqs and leaves the intended eSPI bit set.
Valid eSPIs reach this path during DOMCTL bind failure cleanup and unbind,
and during vPL011 teardown.
Add virq_to_idx(), the inverse of idx_to_virq(), and use it when reserving
and freeing vIRQs. Use vgic_is_valid_line() for the validity checks when
reserving and freeing vIRQs in both vGIC implementations.
Fixes: bdde400c6e1b ("xen/arm: vgic: add resource management for extended SPIs")

Changes in v5:
- Add the vgic_is_valid_line() guard to vgic_free_virq() in the new
vGIC implementation and use the same helper in vgic_reserve_virq().
Changes in v4:
- Document the compressed bitmap layout with an ASCII diagram above the
conversion helpers and refer to struct vgic_dist for the full layout.
Changes in v3:
- Adapt virq_to_idx() to the configuration-neutral is_espi() helper.
Changes in v2:
- Call is_espi() without a configuration guard.

Thinking more about it, it's better for console to use polling mode than fail on
IRQ setup. That's what we do for DT case in this driver. Something like:
if ( irq_set_type(spcr->interrupt, IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH) )
{
printk(XENLOG_WARNING "ns16550: unable to configure IRQ %u, using polling\n",
spcr->interrupt);
irq = 0;
}
Same for pl011.

We cannot add ASSERT() here. Take a look at vpl011 init failure path on
vgic_reserve_virq() that is taken to domain_vpl011_deinit(). If you specify
nr_spis not enough to cover for UART IRQ, this can happen. I think I answered
this question some time ago.
