Yes. IIRC, it's a pretty small patch that I'll be including in the Seattle patches that build on top of this core set. > For those systems ACPI is being developed on do we know that the GICC > information for the PMU interrupts is sane? Yes. We know this works for Seattle platforms, using their latest firmware. > I'm slightly worried about the prospect of adding support later only to > find that the performance interrupt data in contemporary GICC tables is > invalid; it's going to be extremely painful to detect that being the > case in order to perform any kind of workaround. That will depend on the error, of course. It was pretty straightforward when the interrupt value was set to zero in some of the early tables we used. -- ciao, al ----------------------------------- Al Stone Software Engineer Linaro Enterprise Group al.stone@linaro.org ----------------------------------- -- 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/
