Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add support for handling IRQs in userspace
Date: Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:19:42 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1448965024.git.p.fedin@samsung.com> (raw)
This patch series introduces ability to handle IRQs in userspace. This is
currently necessary for ARM KVM in order to be able to use virtual CP15
timer without in-kernel irqchip. This allows to use KVM on machines with
either broken vGIC or custom interrupt controller, like Raspberry Pi 2.
The API is designed to be as much architecture-agnostic is possible.
Currently it actually supports only a single IRQ, but it can be easily
extended to accomodate more.
