ipic_get_mcp_status() is used by targets implementing NMI
watchdog in target specific machine check handler in order
to known whether a machine check results from a watchdog
NMI reset.
In case of very early machine check, primary_ipic pointer
might not have been set yet, so ipic_get_mcp_status() needs
to check it for nullity before using it.

External IRQ0 (index 48) has the same capabilities as the other IRQ1-7
and is handled by the same register IPIC_SEPNR. When this register is
not specified for "ack" in "ipic_info", you cannot configure this IRQ
as IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING. This oversight was probably due to the
non-contiguous hwirq numbering of IRQ0 in the IPIC.

NO_IRQ has been == 0 on powerpc for just over ten years (since commit
0ebfff1491ef ("[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change
platforms to use it")). It's also 0 on most other arches.
Although it's fairly harmless, every now and then it causes confusion
when a driver is built on powerpc and another arch which doesn't define
NO_IRQ. There's at least 6 definitions of NO_IRQ in drivers/, at least
some of which are to work around that problem.
So we'd like to remove it. This is fairly trivial in the arch code, we
just convert:
if (irq == NO_IRQ) to if (!irq)
if (irq != NO_IRQ) to if (irq)
irq = NO_IRQ; to irq = 0;
return NO_IRQ; to return 0;
And a few other odd cases as well.
At least for now we keep the #define NO_IRQ, because there is driver
code that uses NO_IRQ and the fixes to remove those will go via other
trees.
Note we also change some occurrences in PPC sound drivers, drivers/ps3,
and drivers/macintosh.

The struct irq_domain contains a "struct device_node *" field
(of_node) that is almost the only link between the irqdomain
and the device tree infrastructure.
In order to prepare for the removal of that field, convert all
users to use irq_domain_get_of_node() instead.

It is not uncommon (at least with the ARM stuff) to have a piece
of hardware that implements different flavours of "interrupts".
A typical example of this is the GICv3 ITS, which implements
standard PCI/MSI support, but also some form of "generic MSI".
So far, the PCI/MSI domain is registered using the ITS device_node,
so that irq_find_host can return it. On the contrary, the raw MSI
domain is not registered with an device_node, making it impossible
to be looked up by another subsystem (obviously, using the same
device_node twice would only result in confusion, as it is not
defined which one irq_find_host would return).
A solution to this is to "type" domains that may be aliasing, and
to be able to lookup an device_node that matches a given type.
For this, we introduce irq_find_matching_host() as a superset
of irq_find_host:
struct irq_domain *irq_find_matching_host(struct device_node *node,
enum irq_domain_bus_token bus_token);
where bus_token is the "type" we want to match the domain against
(so far, only DOMAIN_BUS_ANY is defined). This result in some
moderately invasive changes on the PPC side (which is the only
user of the .match method).
This has otherwise no functionnal change.

Each revmap type has different arguments for setting up the revmap.
This patch splits up the generator functions so that each revmap type
can do its own setup and the user doesn't need to keep track of how
each revmap type handles the arguments.
This patch also adds a host_data argument to the generators. There are
cases where the host_data pointer will be needed before the function returns.
ie. the legacy map calls the .map callback for each irq before returning.
v2: - Add void *host_data argument to irq_domain_add_*() functions
- fixed failure to compile
- Moved IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_* defines into irqdomain.c

This patch drops the powerpc-specific irq_host structures and uses the common
irq_domain strucutres defined in linux/irqdomain.h. It also fixes all
the users to use the new structure names.
Renaming irq_host to irq_domain has been discussed for a long time, and this
patch is a step in the process of generalizing the powerpc virq code to be
usable by all architecture.
An astute reader will notice that this patch actually removes the irq_host
structure instead of renaming it. This is because the irq_domain structure
already exists in include/linux/irqdomain.h and has the needed data members.

The core irq_set_type() function updates the flow type when the chip
callback returns 0. So setting the type is bogus.
The new core code allows to update the type in irq_data and return
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY, so the core code will not touch it, except for
setting the IRQ_LEVEL flag.
Use the proper accessors for setting the irq handlers.

in case the interrupt controller was used in an earlier life then it is
possible it is that some of its sources were used and are still unmask.
If the (unmasked) device is active and is creating interrupts (or one
interrupts was pending since the interrupts were disabled) then the boot
process "ends" very soon. Once external interrupts are enabled, we land in
-> do_IRQ
-> call ppc_md.get_irq()
-> ipic_read() gets the source number
-> irq_linear_revmap(source)
-> revmap[source] == NO_IRQ
-> irq_find_mapping(source) returns NO_IRQ because no source
is registered
-> source is NO_IRQ, ppc_spurious_interrupts gets incremented, no
further action.

This causes ipic_set_irq_type to set the handler directly rather
than call set_irq_handler, which causes spinlock recursion because
the lock is already held when ipic_set_irq_type is called.
I'm also not convinced that ipic_set_irq_type should be changing the
handler at all. There seem to be several controllers that don't and
several that do. Those that do would break what appears to be a common
usage of calling set_irq_chip_and_handler followed by set_irq_type, if a
non-standard handler were to be used. OTOH, irq_create_of_mapping()
doesn't set the handler, but only calls set_irq_type().
This patch gets things working in the spinlock-debugging-enabled case,
but I'm curious as to where the handler setting is ideally supposed to be
done. I don't see any documentation on set_irq_type() that clarifies
what the semantics are supposed to be.

This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.
While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.
This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.
We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
This patch:
rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.
I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.
So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.
