2013-02-15ARC: Support for high priority interrupts in the in-core intcVineet Gupta
There is a bit of hack/kludge right now where we disable preemption if a L2 (High prio) IRQ is taken while L1 (Low prio) is active. Need to revisit this Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2013-02-11ARC: irqflags - Interrupt enabling/disabling at in-core intcVineet Gupta
ARC700 has an in-core intc which provides 2 priorities (a.k.a.) "levels" of interrupts (per IRQ) hencforth referred to as L1/L2 interrupts. CPU flags register STATUS32 has Interrupt Enable bits per level (E1/E2) to globally enable (or disable) all IRQs at a level. Hence the implementation of arch_local_irq_{save,restore,enable,disable}( ) The STATUS32 reg can be r/w only using the AUX Interface of ARC, hence the use of LR/SR instructions. Further, E1/E2 bits in there can only be updated using the FLAG insn. The intc supports 32 interrupts - and per IRQ enabling is controlled by a bit in the AUX_IENABLE register, hence the implmentation of arch_{,un}mask_irq( ) routines.
