From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> A SYNC is required between enabling the GIC region and actually trying to use it, even if the first access is a read, otherwise its possible depending on the timing (and in my case depending on the precise alignment of certain kernel code) to hit CM bus errors on that first access. Add the SYNC straight after setting the GIC base. [paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx: Changes later in this series increase our likelihood of hitting this by reducing the amount of code that runs between enabling the GIC & accessing it.] Fixes: a7057270c280 ("irqchip: mips-gic: Add device-tree support") Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jason Cooper <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx> Cc: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 3.19.x- --- drivers/irqchip/irq-mips-gic.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-mips-gic.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-mips-gic.c index 9e984cefdca0..6841bd79c7c2 100644 --- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-mips-gic.c +++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-mips-gic.c @@ -1022,6 +1022,9 @@ static int __init gic_of_init(struct device_node *node, if (mips_cm_present()) write_gcr_gic_base(gic_base | CM_GCR_GIC_BASE_GICEN); + /* Ensure GIC region is enabled before trying to access it */ + __sync(); + } gic_present = true; __gic_init(gic_base, gic_len, cpu_vec, 0, node); -- 2.14.0
