In my current proposal, it is easy to specify an arbitrary number of enable/status pairs located in any order and spread across different parts of the register space. Even register indices (0,2,4,...) are enable registers, and odd register indices are status registers. If I'm interpreting your post correctly, you don't agree that we need this level of flexibility. But looking over the register listings, here are the cases we need to cover: 6828,6318: 4x mask(exthi,extlo,hi,lo),status(exthi,extlo,hi,lo) TP0ExtIrqMaskHi TP0ExtIrqMaskLo TP0IrqMaskHi TP0IrqMaskLo TP0ExtIrqStatusHi TP0ExtIrqStatusLo TP0IrqStatusHi TP0IrqStatusLo TP1ExtIrqMaskHi TP1ExtIrqMaskLo ... 6816,6362,6328: 2x extmask,mask,extstatus,status ExtraChipIrqMask ChipIrqMask ExtraChipIrqStatus ChipIrqStatus ExtraChipIrqMask1 [1=TP1] ChipIrqMask1 ExtraChipIrqStatus1 ChipIrqStatus1 6368: similar to above, but with yet another naming convention: IRQMASK_MIPS0_Hi IRQMASK_MIPS0_Lo IRQSTATUS_MIPS0_Hi IRQSTATUS_MIPS0_Lo IRQMASK_MIPS1_Hi IRQMASK_MIPS1_Lo IRQSTATUS_MIPS1_Hi IRQSTATUS_MIPS1_Lo 6838,3384: interleaved "mystery meat" mask/status (same IRQ source names, with the output of each bcm7120-l2 routed to several different processors/threads): PeriphIRQMASK0 PeriphIRQSTATUS0 PeriphIRQMASK1 <- mine, if running on Zephyr PeriphIRQSTATUS1 <- mine, if running on Zephyr PeriphIRQMASK2 PeriphIRQSTATUS2 PeriphIRQMASK3 <- mine, if running on Viper PeriphIRQSTATUS3 <- mine, if running on Viper But wait, there's more! There wasn't enough space in this block for >32 IRQ bits, so the upper bits spilled over into a separate "INT_EXT_PER" block that lives elsewhere in the register space: PeriphIRQMASK0_2 PeriphIRQSTATUS0_2 PeriphIRQMASK1_2 <- mine, if running on Zephyr PeriphIRQSTATUS1_2 <- mine, if running on Zephyr PeriphIRQMASK2_2 PeriphIRQSTATUS2_2 PeriphIRQMASK3_2 <- mine, if running on Viper PeriphIRQSTATUS3_2 <- mine, if running on Viper The "INT_PER" and "INT_EXT_PER" outputs are ORed into the same MIPS IRQ lines, so we need to treat them as two sides of a single controller. AFAICT, unlike a shared device IRQ, there is no way to share a MIPS IRQ line between two controller instances. Additionally, we have a few other random MASK/STATUS pairs scattered around (ZMIPS, CMIPS blocks), and then we also have DQM IRQs with multiple mask registers + single status register: CMIPS_NOT_EMPTY_IRQ_MSK CMIPS1_NOT_EMPTY_IRQ_MSK <- mine, if running on Viper ZMIPS_NOT_EMPTY_IRQ_MSK <- mine, if running on Zephyr PMC_NOT_EMPTY_IRQ_MSK DFAP_NOT_EMPTY_IRQ_MSK NOT_EMPTY_IRQ_STS I suppose another alternative is to ioremap() a range large enough to cover enable + status, and then specify the offset of each one in another property. This does run the risk of overlapping mappings. > This would avoid having to specify a lot of regs (let's assume we also > add support for affinity) I concede that I have no idea how affinity should be handled here. AFAICT it is completely off limits on BCM3384 because we just don't have enough L2 outputs to offer proper masking for all of the threads/CPUs in the system. Perhaps we could write a simple, SMP-capable driver for the saner/newer SoCs, and use the flexible-but-non-SMP version for the complicated ones. > and cause a lot of io(re)map calls Is the ioremap() call really that big of a deal? On MIPS it's basically computing CKSEG1ADDR(phys_addr). On ARM, the top level (with 64 to 128+ IRQs) goes through the GIC. On both, ioremap() is a one-time cost at startup. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
