Subject: [PATCH] irqchip: gic: Fix core ID calculation when topology is read from DT

Certain GIC implementation, namely those found on earlier, single
cluster, Exynos SoCs, have registers mapped without per-CPU banking,
which means that the driver needs to use different offset for each CPU.

Currently the driver calculates the offset by multiplying value returned
by cpu_logical_map() by CPU offset parsed from DT. This is correct when
CPU topology is not specified in DT and aforementioned function returns
core ID alone. However when DT contains CPU topology, the function
changes to return cluster ID as well, which is non-zero on mentioned
SoCs and so breaks the calculation in GIC driver.

This patch fixes this by masking out cluster ID in CPU offset
calculation so that only core ID is considered. Multi-cluster Exynos
SoCs already have banked GIC implementations, so this simple fix should
be enough.

iiuc, this was introduced by:

db0d4db22a78d ARM: gic: allow GIC to support non-banked setups

and so should be for v3.3 and up, correct?

thx,

Jason.

Could be, although there was and still is no topology data specified in
DT for affected Exynos SoCs. The need for it showed up just recently, so
I'm not sure this is a regression to fix in older kernels.

Best regards,

In my "the kernel and the dtb aren't tied together" quest, these are the
kinds of things I like to see fixed in stable kernels.

If a user needs to update a dtb, say to fix a bug, it's reasonable to
use the newest one for a given board. After all, any new nodes won't
change anything, since the driver in the kernel won't match the node.

However, in this case, without this fix, a user upgrading to the newest
dtb would get a broken system. So, this fix should be backported to
prevent the breakage. Or, have I missed something in my analysis?

thx,

Jason.

This is correct when looking only at this issue. However I suspect such
move would cause a breakage anyway, because DT stuff isn't that stable
on Exynos side. I don't mind if this patch hits stable, though.

Applied to irqchip/urgent and Cc'd to stable for v3.3+
