2018-01-24irqdomain: Kill CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_DEBUGMarc Zyngier
CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_DEBUG is similar to CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS, just with less information. Spring cleanup time.

2017-07-14IRQ-domain.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab
Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - use proper markups for titles; - mark literal blocks as such; - add blank lines where needed.

2017-05-22Documentation: Update IRQ-domain.txt to document irq_domain_mappingMarc Zyngier
irq_domain_mapping is a rather useful tool to understand how IRqs are mapped in irqdomains, and yet it is not documented anywhere. Let's address this.

2014-11-23irqdomain: Introduce new interfaces to support hierarchy irqdomainsJiang Liu
We plan to use hierarchy irqdomain to suppport CPU vector assignment, interrupt remapping controller, IO-APIC controller, MSI interrupt and hypertransport interrupt etc on x86 platforms. So extend irqdomain interfaces to support hierarchy irqdomain. There are already many clients of current irqdomain interfaces. To minimize the changes, we choose to introduce new version 2 interfaces to support hierarchy instead of extending existing irqdomain interfaces. According to Thomas's suggestion, the most important design decision is to build hierarchy struct irq_data to support hierarchy irqdomain, so hierarchy irqdomain related data could be saved in struct irq_data. With support of hierarchy irq_data, we could also support stacked irq_chips. This is most useful in case of set_affinity(). The new hierarchy irqdomain introduces following interfaces: 1) irq_domain_alloc_irqs()/irq_domain_free_irqs(): allocate/release IRQ and related resources. 2) __irq_domain_alloc_irqs(): a special version to support legacy IRQs. 3) irq_domain_activate_irq()/irq_domain_deactivate_irq(): program interrupt controllers to activate/deactivate interrupt. There are also several help functions to ease irqdomain implemenations: 1) irq_domain_get_irq_data(): get irq_data associated with a specific irqdomain. 2) irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip(): save irqdomain specific data into irq_data. 3) irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent()/irq_domain_free_irqs_parent(): invoke parent irqdomain's alloc/free callbacks. We also changed irq_startup()/irq_shutdown() to invoke irq_domain_activate_irq()/irq_domain_deactivate_irq() to program interrupt controller when start/stop interrupts.

2012-07-11irq_domain: Standardise legacy/linear domain selectionMark Brown
A large proportion of interrupt controllers that support legacy mappings do so because non-DT systems need to use fixed IRQ numbers when registering devices via buses but can otherwise use a linear mapping. The interrupt controller itself typically is not affected by the mapping used and best practice is to use a linear mapping where possible so drivers frequently select at runtime depending on if a legacy range has been allocated to them. Standardise this behaviour by providing irq_domain_register_simple() which will allocate a linear mapping unless a positive first_irq is provided in which case it will fall back to a legacy mapping. This helps make best practice for irq_domain adoption clearer. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
