[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix arch timer trigger

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Recent fixes in the IRQ layer (properly propagating the trigger
settings in the interrupt controler instead of silently failing)
uncovered a number of cases where DTs are describing the timer trigger
wrong (edge, while the interrupt is definitely level).

The result is a kernel that doesn't boot anymore (forever waiting for
an interrupt that can't trigger) or behave erratically (missing
interrupts).

This very small series addresses the issue in two ways:
(1) enforcing level triggered in the driver and spitting out a nastygram
so that the user can find out about the issue
(2) fix the existing issue by repainting the broken device trees.

(1) makes sure that a new kernel can run with an old DT, and (2)
addresses the issue properly.

Note that the two patches can be applied independently.

Tested on APM Mustang, which is one of the broken platforms.

Thanks,

	M.

* From v1:
  - Make GICv3-based platforms use the level triggered setting even if
  the HW actually precisly describes high or low settings.
  - Rebased on top of linux/master as of today.
