Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mpic: Add DT option to skip readback after EOI
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 11:57:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421236622-29366-1-git-send-email-bogdan.purcareata@freescale.com> (raw)

The readback is necessary in order to handle PCI posted
writes, or when the MPIC is handling interrupts in a loop
(ppc_md.get_irq). Newer MPIC versions don't require this
readback. Leave the option configurable using a device
tree entry.

This saves a MMIO trap per interrupt.

+      Definition: The presence of this property specifies that the
+          MPIC will not issue a readback when delivering the EOI for an
+          external interrupt. The readback operation is done by reading
+          the CPU WHOAMI register after writing to the CPU EOI register.
+          Originally, this was required due to the fact that the MPIC
+          operates at lower frequencies, or in scenarios where the MPIC
+          is connected through PCI with write posting. This is not the
+          case in an emulated environment (e.g. KVM guest), or in scenarios
+          where interrupts are not handled in a loop of get_irq() calls.
