It looks like this is not supported unless you have EL2, but I can't seem to find anything in the spec for this, and KVM should support EOI/deactivate for GICv3 guests I think. Am I missing something? Assuming I'm wrong about GICv3, which I probably am, how does this look (on top of the posted patch): diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c index 519149e..aed524c 100644 --- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c +++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c @@ -1228,7 +1228,9 @@ static int __init gic_of_init(struct device_node *node, struct device_node *pare goto out_unmap_rdist; gic_populate_ppi_partitions(node); - gic_of_setup_kvm_info(node); + + if (static_key_true(&supports_deactivate)) + gic_of_setup_kvm_info(node); return 0; out_unmap_rdist: @@ -1517,7 +1519,9 @@ gic_acpi_init(struct acpi_subtable_header *header, const unsigned long end) goto out_fwhandle_free; acpi_set_irq_model(ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_GIC, domain_handle); - gic_acpi_setup_kvm_info(); + + if (static_key_true(&supports_deactivate)) + gic_acpi_setup_kvm_info(); return 0; diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c index ab12bf4..121af5c 100644 --- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c +++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c @@ -1653,7 +1653,8 @@ static int __init gic_v2_acpi_init(struct acpi_subtable_header *header, if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM_GIC_V2M)) gicv2m_init(NULL, gic_data[0].domain); - gic_acpi_setup_kvm_info(); + if (static_key_true(&supports_deactivate)) + gic_acpi_setup_kvm_info(); return 0; } Thanks, -Christoffer
