kexec: Consolidate machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() implementation

2026-03-25T10:08:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit bad6722e478f5b17a5ceb039dfb4c680cf2c0b48 ]

Consolidate the machine_kexec_mask_interrupts implementation into a common
function located in a new file: kernel/irq/kexec.c. This removes duplicate
implementations from architecture-specific files in arch/arm, arch/arm64,
arch/powerpc, and arch/riscv, reducing code duplication and improving
maintainability.

The new implementation retains architecture-specific behavior for
CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_KEXEC_CLEAR_VM_FORWARD, which was previously implemented
for ARM64. When enabled (currently for ARM64), it clears the active state
of interrupts forwarded to virtual machines (VMs) before handling other
interrupt masking operations.

genirq: Add mechanism to multiplex a single HW IPI

2023-02-05T10:57:55+00:00

All RISC-V platforms have a single HW IPI provided by the INTC local
interrupt controller. The HW method to trigger INTC IPI can be through
external irqchip (e.g. RISC-V AIA), through platform specific device
(e.g. SiFive CLINT timer), or through firmware (e.g. SBI IPI call).

To support multiple IPIs on RISC-V, add a generic IPI multiplexing
mechanism which help us create multiple virtual IPIs using a single
HW IPI. This generic IPI multiplexing is inspired by the Apple AIC
irqchip driver and it is shared by various RISC-V irqchip drivers.

genirq/timings: Add selftest for circular array

2019-06-12T08:47:04+00:00

Due to the complexity of the code and the difficulty to debug it, add some
selftests to the framework in order to spot issues or regression at boot
time when the runtime testing is enabled for this subsystem.

This tests the circular buffer at the limits and validates:
 - the encoding / decoding of the values
 - the macro to browse the irq timings circular buffer
 - the function to push data in the circular buffer

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers:

   - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is
     used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate
     pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop
     allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the
     recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to
     switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses
     problems with vector exhaustion.

   - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for
     range selectors.

   - New interrupt controllers:
       - Meson and Meson8 GPIO
       - BCM7271 L2
       - Socionext EXIU

     If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to
     disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh!

   - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms.

   - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver

   - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.
     Most visible one is to move the irq chip drivers Kconfig switches
     into a separate Kconfig menu"

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

genirq: Implement bitmap matrix allocator

2017-09-25T18:38:26+00:00

Implement the infrastructure for a simple bitmap based allocator, which
will replace the x86 vector allocator. It's in the core code as other
architectures might be able to reuse/extend it. For now it only implements
allocations for single CPUs, but it's simple to add multi CPU allocation
support if required.

The concept is rather simple:

 Global information:
 	system_vector bitmap
	global accounting

 PerCPU information:
 	allocation bitmap
	managed allocation bitmap
	local accounting

The system vector bitmap is used to exclude vectors system wide from the
allocation space.

The allocation bitmap is used to keep track of per cpu used vectors.

The managed allocation bitmap is used to reserve vectors for managed
interrupts.

When a regular (non managed) interrupt allocation happens then the
following rule applies:

      tmpmap = system_map | alloc_map | managed_map
      find_zero_bit(tmpmap)

Oring the bitmaps together gives the real available space. The same rule
applies for reserving a managed interrupt vector. But contrary to the
regular interrupts the reservation only marks the bit in the managed map
and therefor excludes it from the regular allocations. The managed map is
only cleaned out when the a managed interrupt is completely released and it
stays alive accross CPU offline/online operations.

For managed interrupt allocations the rule is:

      tmpmap = managed_map & ~alloc_map
      find_first_bit(tmpmap)

This returns the first bit which is in the managed map, but not yet
allocated in the allocation map. The allocation marks it in the allocation
map and hands it back to the caller for use.

The rest of the code are helper functions to handle the various
requirements and the accounting which are necessary to replace the x86
vector allocation code. The result is a single patch as the evolution of
this infrastructure cannot be represented in bits and pieces.

Implement a simple, irq_work-based framework for simulating
interrupts. Currently the API exposes routines for initializing and
deinitializing the simulator object, enqueueing the interrupts and
retrieving the allocated interrupt numbers based on the offset of the
dummy interrupt in the simulator struct.

genirq/timings: Add infrastructure to track the interrupt timings

2017-06-24T09:44:11+00:00

The interrupt framework gives a lot of information about each interrupt. It
does not keep track of when those interrupts occur though, which is a
prerequisite for estimating the next interrupt arrival for power management
purposes.

Add a mechanism to record the timestamp for each interrupt occurrences in a
per-CPU circular buffer to help with the prediction of the next occurrence
using a statistical model.

Each CPU can store up to IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE events , the
current value of IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE is 32.

Each event is encoded into a single u64, where the high 48 bits are used
for the timestamp and the low 16 bits are for the irq number.

A static key is introduced so when the irq prediction is switched off at
runtime, the overhead is near to zero.

It results in most of the code in internals.h for inline reasons and a very
few in the new file timings.c. The latter will contain more in the next patch
which will provide the statistical model for the next event prediction.

genirq/debugfs: Add proper debugfs interface

2017-06-22T16:21:13+00:00

Debugging (hierarchical) interupt domains is tedious as there is no
information about the hierarchy and no information about states of
interrupts in the various domain levels.

Add a debugfs directory 'irq' and subdirectories 'domains' and 'irqs'.

The domains directory contains the domain files. The content is information
about the domain. If the domain is part of a hierarchy then the parent
domains are printed as well.

Unfortunately there is no per cpu information about the VECTOR domain (yet).

The irqs directory contains detailed information about mapped interrupts.

genirq: Add a helper to spread an affinity mask for MSI/MSI-X vectors

This is lifted from the blk-mq code and adopted to use the affinity mask
concept just introduced in the irq handling code.  It tries to keep the
algorithm the same as the one current used by blk-mq, but improvements
like assining vectors on a per-node basis instead of just per sibling
are possible with this simple move and refactoring.
